Deep Fried Twinkies















I want to take a moment to discuss one of the most outrageous deserts I have ever had the pleasure of indulging in. A Deep fried Twinkie! I came across these incredible concoctions on a trip to Vegas. Across the street from Binion's Horseshoe and catecorner to the Golden Nugget is a little hole-in-the-wall slot parlor called Mermaids, and in the back, where you can also indulge in a glorious $2 foot-long chili-cheese dog you will find the most decadent marriage of artery-clogging, deep fat frying and a sugary, cream filled confection! If you've somehow managed your way through life to this point without ever having tasted one, I suggest you put this at the top of your "to do before I die" list and get with the program.

Excellent! We may head out there end of May, and Mermaids will definately be on our to-do list!

PP, there are several "Before I die" must do's on PinF's list. Eating a deep fried sponge filled with hot whipped cream is not one of them.

Though I appreciate and respect your total disregard for the danger involved---sacrificing in the name of research, PinF will be passing on this deep-fried-saturated-sweet-bomb.

Since I attended college and lived full time in gold 'ole Norfolk, VA, for 5 years, I picked up some valuable cooking tips: everything is better cooked with bacon, and anything fried is good. Fried lobster tails aren't bad either-we don't discriminate any sacfrice to the fry daddy.

ak and another buddy tried to deep fry mayo in college, and would go to Popeye's chicken just for the 'cracklin'...the little pieces of batter that fall off the chicken while frying...

PP:....You seem to have become quite complacement since two things happened:

1. You discovered deep fried twinkies.

2. You surprised the Academy with your BBOTY award. Seemingly coming from no where to win the hearts of the many legions of fans still stinging from the MisofChuck's Barry Sander-esque abrupt walk off the field of play.

still this leaves hundreds of pining fans waiting for something more than a "hot Hostess" snack....
