Growing up in the south, I thought I’d seen everything someone might try to deep-fry. Candy bars, Oreos, Twinkies, cauliflower (try it, it’s amazing)… I’ll always love funnel cakes even though they’re conceptually terrifying. And my favorite bad-for-you food ever will always be hot wings. But some of these ideas — found on the site where ideas go to spread like a virus flourish, Pinterest — blew even my little chicken-fried mind. Take a look.
That, friends, is a deep fried Peep.
Okay, so this isn’t so abnormal, but I regret that I still haven’t tried frying ravioli. I mean come on! Look at that thing. A little marinara… I’m salivating.
Deep fried olives. Oh man.
Deep fried pizza… I know a certain Katie K who would be super into this.
Deep fried Fluffernutter. Gross terminology — probably tastes amazing.
Deep fried strawberries? That sounds amazing.
Deep fried guacamole. Sign me up. This is like a game-day regret waiting to happen.
What unique things have you tried deep fried?

Deep fried guacamole… Oh my goodness where can I get some??

Deep fried ravioli is a great appetizer. The rest of the things on this list would be better not fried (or not at all Fluffernutter ..ick).

Oh god. I’m torn between salivating and wanting to puke.

I can’t wrap my mind around how to deep fry some of these things. Beer, most of all. Gotta love the South.

The only one of those I’d eat is deep-fried ravioli. I mean, deep fried fruit and deep-fried beer? Seriously, no wonder America is getting fat. Why would you even THINK about deep-frying food like that?!

I’ve had deep fried ravioli. Made them myself. SO GOOD. I once heard about an amusement park in Toronto (Ontario Place, if I recall correctly) where they had deep fried Kool-aid one year. That’s going too far.

The Wisconsin State Fair has deep-fried butter. I think that’s pretty much high on the list of most revolting things ever, but people seem to love it. Like @daydreams_nightmares said, no wonder Americans are getting fat.

The only thing that sounds good is the guac, but I’d probably change it to avocado slices.

I like deep fried oreos, but I split a plate of 5 with a fried and 2 and a half of those bad boys is PLENTY. Deep fried ice cream is pretty good too.

@darci - I’m with you. It’s a thin line…
