What's the most disgusting deep fried food you've ever eaten?

I ate deep-fried spiders in Cambodia 20 years ago. I can still remember the taste.

Friend came back from Thailand and made deep fried crickets for our super bowl party with a spicy aioli dip. I ate a couple until I bit into a really "meaty" one, immediate texture turn off.

I enjoyed the deep fried mars bar I tried, but I took it next door to the place where they were willing to turn anything into a milkshake.

Not the best milkshake.

“Willing to turn anything into a milkshake”.

Hmm. I really wonder what surprisingly good combinations they could make and what surprisingly bad ones (and what the worst they’ve made is, surprising or not).

[-]

elementarydrw@reddit

There's a chain with a huge list of things they have to make milkshakes of called Shake away that I used to live near.

The one that was the most surprising for me was cucumber. Definitely the most refreshing for sure!

I haven't eaten this before but deep fried butter just sounds extremely gross 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

[-]

CinnamonToast61@reddit

I am struggling to understand what it would be like. Would it be an empty batter case? Would it be a collapsed fritter? What would it be?!

[-]

MorgsiePooh@reddit

It's a deep fried butter fritter they make at the fair or carnivals but I would be super sick if I ate it

Crab and sweetcorn- both served lukewarm reheated and ouly as fuck in China

Chicken fried steak in LA. Worst fucking food I ever tried and I’ve been all over the place eating local shit.

[-]

Routine-Slide6121@reddit

Chicken fried steak is actually nice when ive had it, its basically a battered burger

[-]

Light_Eclipse140283@reddit

I like chicken steak, but it when it’s fried. It reminds me of cutlets, which I’ve never been a fan of

Deep fried Haggis, in Drumfries in 1986. Why? Because we were in Scotland…

[-]

The_Yellow_King@reddit

This is available in Northern England too and is absolutely lovely.

Mars bar.

In Fort William, a fair few years ago. I think they'd drop anything in the fryer if you'd asked them. It was disgusting, but also glorious. Try it at least once.

[-]

OrganizationOk5418@reddit

I've had deep fried pizza, Mars bar, and ice cream; all utterly delightful.

[-]

richStoke@reddit

I think this needs to be passed onto our Scottish friends…

[-]

backdoorbertie@reddit

Hash browns. Thought they’d crisp up, just held oil. Absolutely rank, even with an industrial bout of the munchies

[-]

Creme egg. There used to be a takeaway near me - fish and chips, pizza, and kebab - you know the type. Their gimmick was that anything on the menu also came deep-fried. And that included the little tuck-shop area they had...

[-]

QuestNetworkFish@reddit

deep fried can of coke?!

[-]

PistolPeteWearn@reddit

Deep fried coke is genuinely a thing in the US, although I think it's a bit like a cola flavoured cake pop as opposed to fizzy liquid in batter.

[-]

Polish_Shamrock@reddit

I've had a creme egg, deep fried from a chippy and i liked it. Once had a deep fried penguin though, made the biscuit nasty.

[-]

imtheorangeycenter@reddit

Country fried bacon. Basically battered bacon. Too much, as sacreligous as that sounds.

[-]

ThatBlokeYouKnow@reddit

Disgusting Fried food is a oxymoron

[-]

dinobug77@reddit

Except if they use old oil. Then anything is disgusting.

You read satsuma, right? Is that the thing that proves the thing?

A 'Pizza Crisp'.

A few, many probably, years ago I was in Ibiza with a few mates. One night there was a girl me and a mate were chatting up; at some point she asked us if we knew what pizza crisps were, neither me or my friend did. She then went on to describe the most delicious thing you could imagine; in typical drunk hyperbole. She was Scottish, as we know they have a penchant for deep frying strange things. She made us promise to try one, and recommended a spot to get one.

On one drunken stumble to the hotel, trying to make it home after a long night, we thought to try this mythical pizza crisp. We even hunted out the recommended spot. We both purchased the article, saved it until we arrived home. We didn't want to disrespect this greasy nugget with eating it while walking.

You know those really cheap 'cheese' (3 strands of milk solid) and tomato pizza you can get, same size as a side plate. Somehow still 50p after 145 years. It was one of those, dipped in batter and fried. The batter did not hold up and the pizza crust became a sponge for the fetid oil in the take-aways fryer. So it was just terrible cheap pizza, soaked in horrible used oil with a batter finish.

I knew I was right to distrust the Scottish. This incident just re-affirmed it.

Midnightraven3@reddit

A pizza crunch is a thing of magnificence. IF done properly. Everything you describe is just a really bad attempt at it.

[-]

underwater-sunlight@reddit

I love a fried pizza but not a crunch. I prefer the texture of the pizza without batter. I could go for a half fried cheese and onion pizza now

[-]

Midnightraven3@reddit

I'll have the other half!

Jack-Rabbit-002@reddit

I'd normally say deep fried Mars bar but I recently heard about Yorkshire puddings and though I haven't tried it I feel I'm not willing to partake in such heresy 😄

[-]

ryskwicpicmdfkapic@reddit

I hate Yorkies, they are the most overrated thing ever, I never understood the appeal. Bland, tasteless, boring. Ppl will be like “but you’re meant to soak them in gravy, blablabla”, well that doesnt make them good, they still rank. Anything soaked in gravy will taste good.

But…

They are not technically deep fried.

[-]

Goblinstomper@reddit

Technically they are deep fried,you heat the oil in the pan first then add the batter, which should still have the hot oil on top of it when you finish pouring.

I love Yorkshire's but there are so many disappointing, bland, dry versions around; for example Aunt Bessie's are sub optimal.

The mix is essentially the same as a crepe batter, and like that you can jaz it up if you're feeling a little whimsical.

[-]

ryskwicpicmdfkapic@reddit

One would argue. They are fried, not deep fried.

Only yorkshire I am willing to accept is the one made from scratch. Any of these pre made frozen or chilled are dogshite.

[-]

Temporary_List_3764@reddit

You’re bold, I’ll give u that

[-]

UnderstandingFit8324@reddit

I commend your bravery, now to the depths you go.

[-]

TALongjumping-Bee-43@reddit

The heresy is only having recently heard about Yorkshire puddings, and being unwilling to try them too! They are necessary on most good roasts

[-]

sempiterna_@reddit

I thought the same as you until I realised OP probably means deep-fried yorkies. I can’t really see the benefit in deep frying them, but I’d be willing to give it a go!

[-]

Margaet_moon@reddit

I live in Glasgow and I refuse to eat a deep fried Mars bar. It just has never sounded like a good idea to me lol

Corn dog - Texas

Vile. badly fried, greasy, crap sausage inside. Once tried, will never repeat.

[-]

Oohoureli@reddit

Corn dogs.

[-]

Timely-Field1503@reddit

I've eaten my share of corn dogs, and it's a thin line to get them right. Best one I had was with a homemade batter that had jalapenos in it. Right mix of crisp and soft along with sweet and spicy.

That was about the only good one.

[-]

Psychological-Bag272@reddit

This. Such a disappointment.

[-]

jonathananeurysm@reddit

Cod tongues.

The folks of Newfoundland are a stout and trusty breed but they need to stop inflicting this on tourists.

The mouthfeel? The contents of your handkerchief during your last serious chest infection in a light tempura batter.

Deep fried butter at the fair. It was on a dare.

Used to have a chicken shop down the road from me. One of those shady ones that pops up every now and then and gets shut down a year later. Before that it was a knock-off KFC called RFC (Rugby Fried Chicken). The Food Hygiene Rating was a 1, and obviously they didn’t show it out front like they’re supposed to
