A deep fryer, a bowl of batter and a White Castle slider

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Feb 29th 2008 @ 3:35PM

Once more, an intrepid home cook has taken a innocent food item and elevated it to a place of crunchy, fried goodness. Today I offer you the battered and fried White Castle slider! I find this concept disgusting and yet there's a part of me that is whispering, "You could try that at home, you have a deep fryer!" Mostly, I just want to try a single bite, in order to be able to say, "Yes, I tasted that!"

Okay folks, I must ask. What's the craziest thing you've ever fried?

the orange county fair has a vendor who picks a new food to fry every year... everything from avocados to snickers bars.

And I'm at an age where deep-fried food is at best a questionable choice due to the side effects, so deep frying a 'slider' makes it even less a choice. Urk.

Deep fried milky way bars are a deliciously unhealthy treat.

Always wondered about frying a raw egg (think poaching in oil) but haven't ever attempted.
