Deep Fried Oreos
Yum. I haven't tried deep-fried Oreos, but I count deep-fried Snickers and deep-fried Twinkies among my favorite decadent treats. You could deep-fry brocolli and I'd eat it. (Well, maybe not...)

Ugh. Sour cream ruins food.
MY secret ingredient is usually hickory smoke salt. I put a little of it in many foods, and it never fails to win raves.
I have to pick just one? Though this may get routed to spam, I'll simply provide links to two stories of my kitchen stupidity:

Ah, yes. I can prepare food well when I put my mind to it, but sometimes I'm just stupid.
My wife just signed me up for "olive of the month" for Christmas. Smart woman.
My wife and I both enjoy cooking, so we split the duties evenly. On most nights, we eat different meals. But a couple times each week, one of us will prepare something. When we host dinner parties -- which we frequentl do -- we split the responsibilities. She does far more of the planning for these events, but that's not my choice. It's hers. She's a little bit of a control freak when it comes to entertaining. :)
I use a recipe as a base. I always follow it faithfully the first time I prepare it (though I'm inclined to add more onions and, especially, more garlic). But after that, anything goes. If I make a mess of any alterations, I'm sure to remember. My best recipes are those that I've modified over time, taking the source and altering it to something all my own.
Oh my lord. I am fortunate there's no deep-fried pizza place (that I know of) in Portland. I love stuff like this. Deep-fried Twinkies? I'm there. Deep-fried Snickers? The rodeo wouldn't be the same without them. Yum.
Im in Scotland too, and would like to reassure you that pizzas ARE deep fried in chip shops here, I don't know what Jo is haverin about! "Traditionally", they were just deep fried without the batter and still are, but if you ask for "pizza crunch", it is dipped in the batter. Lots of chip shops sell a slice of pizza crunch with chips. Our chip shops traditionally are Italian owned and that must be where the pizza came from. However, the pizzas they use here for deep frying are different to usual pizzas. they are fatter and smaller, and the topping looks like it has been partly baked onto the top. There also isnt really very much topping. just a smear of tomato sauce and some cheese, or sliced onion or mushrooms. So our pizza is nothing like the one in the video. Also our batter isnt that vivid yellow colour.
I found a link to show you that it IS made like this in Scotland! http://fxcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=112
Wow I think im in love! Honestly I am on a mission to find this. My mouth is watering as i speak. Throw some pepporoni in there and Im in heaven!
There are a few places in NYC that have deep fried Oreos. I've also seen deep fried Mars bars.
*Lilartist*
Sorry. Yes, they dip them in funnell cake batter first, then drop in the deep fryer.
*jdroth*
Whoa! Deep fried snickers? Are you serious! That's insane, lol
I've had them a few times, at RUB in Manhattan—super tasty! segalbraith describes them perfectly. I like them a lot, but you can't have more than one or two.
I actually worked for a funnel cake stand at a bunch of different festivals last summer. We sold "Oreo Puffs" - our standard description was "Oreos dipped in the funnel cake batter & fried, they taste kind of like a devils food cake." They are really good. The cookie part gets soft and the outside is crispy. They'd get a dusting of powdered sugar on top and handed to the customers with a warning to wait a couple of minutes before biting in, because the insides were pretty hot.
jdroth - ever have vegetable tempura? :)
Deep fried oreos??!! Oh my, I sense a heart attack thinking of it. I need more info...Are they battered, or do they just toss the oreo right in the deep fryer? Are these really that good?
Anchovies. I rinse one and put it in the roaster under the chicken or roast. It breaks down and mixes with the juices and ads a depth to the flavor. Also, when roasting chicken or turkey, I put an italian sausage in the cavity. My Nonna taught me that. Delicious! Also, fresh ground nutmeg added to any ground meats, white sauces, and cooked greens. And lastly lemon zest makes everything taste better!
Chipotle peppers and lemon zest, not necessarily together
Wine, Wine and more wine. Freshly ground nutmeg also perks up lots of things.
