When you go out for a good cold beer or just to have a little family dinner, what's your favorite 'fried' food, like they serve in a fried basket? I love fried cauliflower and my absolute fave is friend ravioli!!! YUM!

Fried cauliflower is pretty good. Batter dipped and fried - oh yeah. So are broccoli flowers and, have you ever had broccoli bites? Chopped up broccoli mixed with cheese and made into little "blobs" which are battered and fried. WOW! I love vegetables Japanese tempura style. Man, they're good. And then dipped in the sauce they give - just yummy!! But, I also like fried zucchini (courgette) and fried eggplant (aubergine). Mom made them all the time when I was growing up and I still like them. I just don't like having to make them. LOL But, they sure do taste good. Just dip the slices in an egg/milk mix and then into salted bread crumbs. Get them all breaded before heating the oil. Then fry them, one layer at a time (no deep frying for these). I eat them as is, but Mom adds catsup to dip them in like we do French Fries. She also used to cut the eggplants up into fry-like shapes. But, she had a potato cutter to help her with that. For me, the coins are much easier.

I thought I was the only one who liked tomato products, but not the tomatoes themselves! An anomaly here in South Jersey where the Jersey Tomato is the pride of the region!! LOL (I'm also late reading your other responses, it would seem! ) But, yes, broccoli bites are very good - they sell them in the steak and pizza shops around here (steak being of the Philly Steak Sandwich variety). I've never actually looked to see if there were recipes for them since it seemed like a lot of work, but now my curiosity is up and I'm going to check before I post this. I know you didn't ask, but, if I find one, I'll add the link - 'cause I'm curious to how they put them together. http://allcooking.blogspot.com/2007/12/broccoli-bites-recipe.html The ones I've eated are dipped in batter instead of bread crumbs, so I'm sure you could do it either way.

Fried pickles are good. Fried chicken and fish are good sometimes. Fried cheese sticks are good.

I once had deep fried pickles. I was blown away, they were so good. I would definitely put them at the top of my list. Usually when I'm out I order chicken wings.

Chicken wings by far-- There is a great little bar on Loon Lake in NY that serves the absolute chicken wings ever- I love it here because they also make homemade fries- Is this the healthiest meal?? NO! But it really hits the spot once in a while-- I also like the place because they are located on a lake and have seating out back on the deck looking out at the water. So buffalo chicken wings! Oh YES!

Buffalo Wings - the best eatin' around
lol.. I'm thinking anything fried isn't going to come out too healthy so we may as well enjoy it while we can!! I love good friend buffalo wings too! We have a little pizza shop locally that makes the best I've had yet, locally.

I love so many. I think fried calamari is good. I have to try fried cauliflower, that sounds good. I think the most popular is french fries, which I also love. I don't think I have ever eaten something fried that didn't taste good. :)

LOL!! Definitely on the fried shrimp and oysters. Not as much on the clams. Are you in the part of Jersey that enjoys oyster and ham suppers as fundraisers? Most excellent!

My favourite is chicken and chips. However, I always have to carry a sachet of vinegar with me as they never serve vinegar with the chips, and I don't like eating my chips without vinegar.

Wow that's interesting as I have never heard of either one. I know this bar (it's no longer open) that was near our house use to serve this little mini tacos. They were tiny. They had a hard shell and some refried beans inside but they had been deep fried and you'd get them with sour cream. Oh they were so good. I wish I could find them someplace.
