Fried craziness

Though I know the benefits of healthful eating, I'm all for having a treat now and then. I love a good batch of fish n' chips as much as the next person. But some of the foods that people dunk into a deep fryer just amaze me. How -- and why -- would anyone ever come up with these ideas?

Fitz just told us about chocolate-covered bacon. That's pretty outlandish (not to mention it sounds utterly disgusting). But the deep fryer holds it's fair share of nastiness, too. Maybe you've spotted some different concoctions -- like deep-fried Twinkies -- at your local greasy spoon. Or maybe you've visited your state fair and sampled some of the newest trends in fried foods.

If you must indulge, just remember to keep high-calorie, high-fat foods like these to extremely rare treats -- your arteries will thank you.

No kidding! Chocolate covered bacon!??

That's almost as good as the deep-fried coke from a years back.

What is this world coming to?

Actually deep fried oreos and deep fried brownies are amazing, but can't eat that much grease regularly.

But the two that killed me were, battered and deep fried bacon or fried hamburgers (not battered). I mean really bacon needed more fat added to it??? My daughter and I said that our cholesterol went up just watching them eat it on Food network.

I eat pretty well most of the time, so if I'm at a fair or soemthing, I'll eat some junk food. I've had deep-fried candy bars, and yes, yum. So if I average 1 a year, no big deal.

I read something about deep-fried banana splits (not sure how that would work) at the Texas State Fair, and that's something I want to try.

But chocolate covered bacon? I'll pass!
