I've been hearing about deep fried foods for quite some time now. I think it's some Scottish phenomenon. Some of our UK based posters please shed some light on this. I've heard of deep fried pizza, but mostly Mars bars, an idea which still makes my head spin.

What's wrong with deep fried Mars bars? I'm a healthy weight now, after years of hard work, but I still treat myself to one every now and then. Ever tried a Dagwood dog? That's a battered, deep-fried hot dog. Never had one myself but my Mum said they were big in her day.

Hi Mel, big welcome to another Aussie here on the Rewind.
Personally I can't stand Dagwood Dogs but they are always popular around showtime.

I must say, I'm not crazy about the way dagwood dogs smell, that's been enough to put me off thus far. By the way, Stitch Groover's a cool nickname. Mine seems pretty unoriginal now! lol.

The best deep fried thing I've ever had in my life is fried bread dough. They used to have it at all the fairs when I lived in upstate New York. It's sort of like funnel cake, I guess. Basically it's a deep fried piece flatbread brushed with melted butter and covered with powdered sugar, cinnamon, chocolate syrup or whatever else you fancy. They're known as "Gillespies" to locals. Totally delectable.

When I lived in NW Minnesota they had the same exact thing except they called them Uff Da tacos because of the heavy Norwigian population in the area.

Deep Fried Food is why we have a HUGE problem with obesity in our country.
I don't eat much fried food- except French Fries-but they have to be fresh cut fries.
I like deep fried cauliflower too.
I have a really good and easy recipe to make funnel cakes- just like they do at the carnivals.
I did buy some Green Beans that are battered, and you fry them-I got some at Sam's Club- they are from TGiFs, they are ok, but I really don't like all the grease.
