Maybe it's good, but deep fried turkey sounds pretty gross...

You should see what people here will eat deep-fried. At chippies in Scotland and northern England, they'll deep-fry anything you bring them. Some chippies (fish and chip shops) actually have deep-fried, battered hard-boiled eggs on the menu...deep-fried ice cream, deep-fried candy bars, and deep-fried slices of pizza. They deep-fry it in the same fat they use to deep-fry battered fish. Some people will eat anything.

YUCK.

I believe it. I've spent quite a bit of time over there myself, and surprisingly I still don't believe that everything is better once it's deep fried.

Weirdest deep-fried food I ever ate was in Natchez--lightly battered & fried dill pickle slices. Surprisingly, they were pretty tasty.

Wow... deep fried pizza.

I moved to NC from OK a few years ago. I stopped in a small local cafe to get lunch. I was shocked as I watched the cook prepare some guys hotdog order. She threw the dogs in the deep fry basket and let 'em cook for a couple of minutes, then took them out and threw them on the grill for another couple. I think deep fried bologna sandwiches is on their menu too.

Well, Deep-Fried Ice-Cream's been the 'traditional' dessert at Chinese restaurants here in Australia for as long as I can remember, and the deep-fried battered egg is not all that different to a Scotch Egg (For the uninitiated, that's a boiled egg wrapped in minced beef, coated in breadcrumbs and then fried - Yummy!)
