Deep fried coke?

[hils]

This is a question for the Scottish people on my flist.

jacqui_hw and I were watching QI tonight and they were talking about deep fried mars bars. Jacqui said she's heard of deep fried coke but couldn't figure out how that works

Anyone heard of it or can shed any light?

Edit: Mystery solved!

Of course it's an American thing ;)

I come from the land of Deep Fried Mars Bars (never tired one, sounds disgusting), but never heard of Deep Fried Coke?

Hehe! I keep saying next time I go to Scotland I'm going to try a deep fried mars bar just to say I've had one

I don't like Mars Bars to begin with, the idea of them also being deep fried just.....Shudder!

Hehe! Eating one would definitely be an experience

Fried ice cream? Eew! Doesn't it melt?

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Nope! They roll hard ice cream in dough and then flash-fry it for about 15 seconds, long enough for the dough to fry. It's sooooo good.

Sounds interesting. Remind me to try that next time I visit

You usually find fried ice cream in Mexican restaurants. Some places roll the ice cream in corn flakes,instead of dough, and some in coconut. Sometimes get chocolate coating as well.

There is also tempura ice cream in some Japanese restaurants, which is similar.

You can tell, I've researched the subject.

LOL! It does sound nice, I am ashamed to say...

[myfeetshowit.livejournal.com]

There is no shame when it comes to ice cream.

Now, shameful is admitting that I'd probably like fried coke (sounds like what we call elephant ears).

But I'll never admit that, not even if you torture me with fried ice cream.

LOL!!! To be honest when it comes to food I will try most things once (within reason)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Well, from the article it seems to be from Texas so you must be able to get it somewhere

Well, by gosh for sure, if we can fry it we will...

I prefered the Curly-Wurly deep-fried over the Mars Bar.

Mmmmm, light, caramelly and full of deep-fried goodness!
