    Uh, Viennas cost a heck of a lot more per pound than hot dogs.

    I Don’t blame the Doxie for hating the Viennas, that pooch rather have All Beef Foot Longs for the Forth!

    bigg, oddly, my doxie also turns his nose up at viennas- but he loves broccoli- guess he’s not a Bush fan either??

    I love Viennas. Sautee some onions in a pan with butter on a low hat ‘till soft, add a tin of viennas and turn up the heat. Wait ‘till brown then toss in some ketchup and turn the heat to high for half a minute or so. Serve with fresh bread and margarine. Mmmmm. :)

    Do I have to preach y’all a sermon on fat, salt and sodium nitrate? Have a nice tofurky or something. Just kidding.

    Does anyone know how to DEEPFRY a Tofurkey. (Yeech wouldn’t taste good though!) ;)

    Gladius said, 4 months ago

    Don’t know about tofurky but tofu can be deep fried. Hell just about anything can.

  11. parkersinthehouse

    deep-fried, salted and poison - sort of like Cheney

    Any country that would deep fry a Twinkie has a problem.

    How bout Scotland? Home of the original deep fried mars bar.

  14. parkersinthehouse

    in Pittsburgh, they wrap an oreo cookie in a glob of batter and then deep-fry it. a real heart-stopper. although a deep-fried mars bar sounds …

    What was I reading about Americans being obese….?

    I wonder why.

  16. parkersinthehouse

    parkersinthehouse said, 4 months ago

    Ok DrCanuck, you take your bacon lard, place on high heat for about 3 minutes; wrap your vienna sausages and an oreo cookie in a glob of batter; fry for a minute on each side; don’t drain on paper towels; try to eat in a single bite.

  17. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, 4 months ago

    Well, THAT killed my appetite for dinner tonight!

    What was that super pork roll from hell that was roaming the net for a while? There was cholerolicide with salt to finish you off. Heart condition sufferers please sign this waiver.

    Lots of nations besides the US love fried foods. West indians a dish called pholourie that is essentially fried batter. No Mars bar, no oreo, just the batter mixed with saffron and some other flavors. It’s light, fluffy and is usually served with a tamarind sauce. A heartstopper yes, but ooo delicious.

  20. Gladius

    Gladius said, 4 months ago

    Came across it but I haven’t tried it. Boy do I loooove tamarind.

  21. DrCanuck

    I tried something called a funnel cake in Iowa once, a lump of dough deepfried in fat, covered with powdered sugar. Geeeaaakkk!

  22. Gladius

    Gladius said, 4 months ago

    You find them all over PA too.

  23. parkersinthehouse

    parkersinthehouse said, 4 months ago

    I may be wrong, but the pholourie is a carribean fried food, not indian. it’s actually a very healthy food; it asks for saffron which is too expensive for me, but you can substitute turmeric or a generic curry powder. If you cook in hot oil and remove onto paper towel quickly to drain, the food is not a heartstopper as thought. you can use split pea powder or chickpea powder (kitchenaid can make a powder out of any dried peas). however, in the absence of pholourie, a good tofurky will suffice.

  24. Gladius

    Gladius said, 4 months ago

    In general, fried foods get a bit of a bum rap. Quite a bit depends on the type of oil you use and, of course, what you’re frying.

  25. TrickyPickle

    TrickyPickle said, 4 months ago

    Parkerinthehouse: I said West Indian :) That’s what the peoples of the Caribbean are called. You are correct about the ingredients though. If you’ve a store with a Caribbean section, you may be able to find pre-made pholourie mix to save yourself the trouble. I’m still pretty sure it can’t be good for you though, as a paper bag of pholourie balls is seriously greasy. Mmmmm.

    C’mon DrC, it’s only once a year.

    And let’s face it, that delicious poutine ain’t exactly good for yer heart either.

    DrCanuck said, 4 months ago

    AND WHAT’S WRONG WITH POUTINE?

  31. Gladius

    Gladius said, 4 months ago

    Hey,
    I’ve got nothing against it. I’ve never tried it but it sure looks good.

  32. cdward

    cdward said, 4 months ago

    I love it, squeaky cheese and all. It’s just no better for the arteries that yummy funnel cake.

    Me and my boy had NY strips off the charcoal tonight. Medium, pink and juicy. Roasted Potatoes(garlic oil) raw broccoli. Saturday night ritual on his weekly visit.. Tomorrow, All Bran with Banana. Got to look after the old heart right?

    I like my steaks waved by a picture of Florida on the way to the table. From the news today, I couldn’t say Arizona because they’d come out well done.

    if i could quit laughing i’d tellya.

    a concoction devised to calm the stomach.

    no, a music group in the 80s.

    no, a law firm in south texas.

    no, i made it up. remember those tiny jars of mixed-together-meat-fruit-veg stuff “foisted” on kids about 30 years ago that people thought were so clever? that’s probably a mother thing.

    No,

    Oh, you mean the dog! I thought at first that “doxie” referred to the woman with the newspaper. It seemed rather harsh about a stranger.
