Ketchup/Catsup is really one of the major contributors to the decline of western civilization.

Currently, I believe it's only acceptable on french fries and fish sticks. Maybe onion rings. Let's just say it's okay with fried things.

I enjoy A1 on burgers.

Flame on.

You want me banned again, dont you?!?!?! Actually, I dont have anything against steak sauce as so many here like to think. I just think A1 in particular doesnt taste very good. It tastes metallic or something to me. I like the Lea and Perrins.

but on a burger, I just like to get a good 80/20 sirloin, season it with S and P and grill it up. Grilled bun, good cheese (cheddar is good, just no American) Red Onion, Lettuce, ripe tomato and mustard and mayo.. Perfection. Though the restaurant I just worked on has a burger with a caper aioli they put on and that is pretty damn delicious as well.

Or we could just make a roady to Wisconsin. Same thing there, but with cheese sauce.

Or you can go to your local state fair. They deep fry everything there too.

Youd have to make the batter, jerkpants! Thats hard! and its 375.

Not for my fried chicken it isn't. I double dip so at 375 the crust would burn.

And batter for a deep fried snickers? Hmmm..........egg and frosted flakes? Or maybe a lite tempura?

Wis. Festival Sells Deep-Fried Testicles

ELDERON, Wis. - Around here, it may be tough to pass up anything deep-fried.

Wisconsinites have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too.

More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin.

"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Hoffman said.
Festival founder Nancy Fenske said the festival grew out of her late husband Roger's birthday party 12 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mama's Place after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to Montana.
The event grew every year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles, she said.

"What else can you do in a small town?" Fenske said.

Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said.

"After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said.

Double dip is too thick for my tastes. I did a pork rind crust for chicken once. Ground up pork rinds into the flour. Mmmmmmm. And yah, 375 is too much for chicken. You skillet fry? SOme of the best skillet fried chicken Ive ever had is at Charles Southern Kitchen right here in Harlem. I go about 320 for skillet fried chicken.

Snickers bar batter. Im thinking it needs to be flour based, for sure. But maybe you do a light flour coating, then an egg wash and then a panko breading. Or maybe a tempura of rice flour, 10x sugar and champagne would be better. Mmmmmm champagne battered deep fried snickers...

Pork rind crust........:rockon:

Champagne battered deep fried snickers.............:notworthy



I try not to skillet fry very often. 90% of the dishes I make are roasted. The flavor doesn't go anywhere and it's healthier too.
