I've got it!
Fried crisco, it's perfect!
Sure! They can fry ice cream, why not big frozen blobs of Crisco? Maybe butter-flavored Crisco would be best.
They're usually little hamburger dill slices, battered and fried - individually - not big spears. Although, I'm sure they serve fried pickle spears *somewhere*!
I heard TGIF's serves batter-fried green beans now, too.
WhoooOOOooo!
If it ain't fat, it ain't food!
Fried pickles have the consistency of fried zucchini - they really are good. My speciality is fried jalapenos.....
What say y'all?
It's not New Coke is it?
Now I could see this with a Jolt Cola or a Dr.Pepper.
Twice the caffeine, and fourteen times the sugar of your
regular desert.
Mmmmmm! Do you stuff them? Cheddar, Monterey Jack or cream cheese? If you use sausage on the outside (along with cheese and Bisquick), we call those Armadillo Eggs!
I use creme cheese and bacon when I grill them, but for frying I use a jar of sliced jalapenos, drained, battered and fried.....They are pretty good!
Frying pickles takes the pucker out. You almost can't taste the pickled part. Try it next time you see it on the menu. Our grandson went through a phase when he was about 2 or so. He would dunk everything he could get his hands on in ranch and even just his fingers if he was out of dunking stuff. LOLL I told our daughter to see if he could be a "spokesman" for ranch dressing.
Oooh, I would like those, either way. I just can't eat real "hot" anymore, because I'm out of practice - so I always like to use pickled nacho slices, then the heat is more predictable, for *me*. Yummmm. Now I want some!
They did these on the Today Show this morning, but I didn't have the sound on until they had already made them, so missed the recipe.
Theirs were balls, like the original - not funnel cakes. They put them in some of those old-fashioned replica Coca-Cola soda fountain glasses, oversized, and then poured Coke out of the bottle over them! Not a lot, to drown them or anything, but I guess to "infuse" them with Coke taste or something.
Cute serving style, anyway, in those glasses.
Our son was/is the same way and when we lived in PA they were always serving honey mustard with chicken strips - we would have to ask if they had Ranch dressing or cream gravy.... ;^)
Yes, pickled - they aren't too hot - although once in awhile you will get one that bites a bit.
gotta have ranch with chicken strips.
My hurricane kit has some little individual Ranch Dressing serving containers. They're so cute, I couldn't resist buying them.
I'm having a very hard time not eating my hurricane food, since it's stuff I never buy otherwise. Some of the Pringles and Twinkies are half gone already. Might have to sample that Ranch Dressing to make sure I would like it if the hurricane knocked out our power!
