Disgusting deep fried county fair food is one of the only remotely defensible things about the US

Midwestern* American crab rangoon

Hell yeah (I am extremely white)

Classic American dishes, deep fried ranch and deep fried butter!

Calling this a "dish" is quite a stretch lol

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

let us be, we're not hurting anyone but ourselves with this

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

I hate ranch, but I will stand up for American fair food. Those people truly make an art out of frying literally fucking anything, it's impressive. First time I heard about deep fried spaghetti, I was less disgusted and more confused how they even manage to do that. Too bad my state is never original and never has something that seems deadly to eat, I gotta go to other states for that

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

I'd eat that. (Yes, I'm a Midwesterner, how did you guess?)

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Let them cook!

anti-cracker-aktion I have defended ranch dressing (only home made) in the past, but this is too far, it's a cold condiment

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

It's not much different than a cream cheese wonton imo

[-] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

ah, I missed the cream cheese part, it might be alright, depends on how acidic they make it with buttermilk

[-] edge@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe it’s like fried ice cream.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

Am Midwestern, would much rather get one of these as opposed to that fried ranch car crash

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, not being from them midwest I'm pretty used to seeing "outside-the-box" ice cream flavors, that doesn't even seem that weird honestly it sounds kind of fire. I'd eat a vegan version.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Dole soft serve is usually vegan!

They make it with coconut milk most places and it's pretty dang good

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

If it weren't for the chamoy that would probably be pretty good. Actually, maybe it's better than chamoy candies - which are easily the most disgusting candy I've ever tried, being both intensely salty and also blandly unpleasant in a just sort of generally foul way - because of how comparatively dilute it is. I've never had it on something as an actual sauce, only in those disgusting hard candies.

I'd probably try it because the rest of it I know would be good and probably works well together.

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

Can I get the deep fried olive oil and vinegar instead? I'm trying to cut back on calories.

[-] edge@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

That looks incredibly bad for you and incredibly delicious. I’d try at least one.

[-] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

yeah but does it come with a side of ranch for dipping?

[-] djphdk@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Incredible, now I can dip my ranch in ranch

[-] abc@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

unironically i love state/county fair food specifically because it caters to my disgusting tastebuds/probable ED. why yes, i would like a deep fried anything that is basically 2/3rds of my food pyramid anyways

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

Deep fried anything is delicious but... It's not a solid. It's not even gelatinous, it's a thick liquid. Why would you do this?

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

the description makes it sound like its ranch-flavored creamcheese filling, not true ranch

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't see that in the description before but now that you mention it, they do say that. Still though I could see it oozing out and and... Ugfh

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

We're really not helping ourselves with this one

i will 100% eat some fair-food grade fried garbage, but even to me this seems like a dumb idea across the board.

like, what is the appeal of a sudden burst of tissue-burning-hot hydrophobic liquid filling your mouth? because you know that's what's happening when you bite into this. like a hell-microwaved pizza roll, except it's no other ingredients/all oily magma and you have no idea if it's cooled down on the inside, because the whole point of frying stuff is trapping heat in for rapid internal cooking. like how doing a 15 lb turkey in the oven is almost 4 hours, a 15 lb turkey in a convection oven is like 3 hours, but in a deep fryer it's under an hour. it makes frying a big hit logistically with "fast" food scenes like fairs because you are churning out batches of this or that in minutes.

also, the whole point of the thick savory condiment is to moderate the hot fried semi-ouchy, while the fat of the condiment evens out the texture and conducts and blends seasonings from various textures together.

like, i would try one because i am a large adult son with a credit card, but i'm poking it with a toothpick first and squeezing a bit out to see if its napalm.

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

It might only cook long enough so the outside is cooked and the inside is nice and cool

[-] D61@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Eh... cheese sticks are a thing... whatever kills us off faster I guess.

I don't know what to say so i will tell a mildly relevant joke:

Last Supper:
Jesus: "Peter pass me the bread"
Jesus: "This is my flesh, eat this"
Jesus: "Jacob pass me the wine"
Jesus: "This is my blood, drink it"
Jesus: "Judas pass me the mayonnaise"
Judas: "FUCK THIS IM OUT"

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

I regret not trying ranch when I was in the US

[-] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Its pretty easy to make.

Butter milk, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, pepper. I add msg. It should be tangy and the ratio of Mayo to buttermilk is to your desired consistency. I like it a bit thin.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Send it all to me... to uh... dispose of.
