Hux Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Fear of mad cow disease hasn't kept customers from eating the deep-fried cow brain sandwiches served Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2004, at the Hilltop Inn in Evansville, Ind. The delicacy is traced back to a time when southern Indiana newcomers from Germany and Holland wasted little. Some families have their own recipes passed down over the generations.

colinw Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I don't know what is up with the folks in Indiana. When we were there for Deer Creek this past summer they sold deep fried everything. One place was selling deep fried chocolate bars (Mars, Snickers, etc), and if you can believe it.....deep fried twinkies!!! Picture a pogo hotdog ona stick type thing, but use a twinkie instead. Of course I had to sample one of these local delicacies, and I still feel my cholesteral going up! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cor10e Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Being a southern girl myself, I have to admit that yes- we deep fry candy bars. But this has only just begun. I first noticed this only last year at a county fair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Sounds like the south is a bit behind Scotland, where deep fried Mars bars have been an, ahem, "delicacy" for some years now. Also on the Scottish menu : deep fried pizza. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bONES Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 here's another recipe for gross: Prairie Oysters are a tradition. They are cooked up and served at brandings everywhere in the west. Wherever you find cows and cowboys, then you're sure to have Prairie Oysters. Even if you aren't a sea food lover, Prairie Oysters are something you just have to try at least once in your life. Just make sure you have lots of hot sauce with you! HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED: Lots of Oysters from the branding! 1 cup milk 2 eggs -- beaten 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs 1/2 cup poultry seasoning, sage 1or 2 cloves of garlic -- crushed salt & pepper to taste 1/2 cup butter chives chopped finely Lots of Tiger Hot Sauce HERE'S WHAT YOU DO: Double skin your prairie oysters Soak them in milk Combine the bread crumbs, poultry seasoning, sage, garlic and salt and pepper Roll the oysters in the crumb mixture Fry the oysters in butter until golden Serve them hot out of the pan with dipping sauces or Tiger Hot Sauce Cold beer seems to go down pretty good with hot Prairie Oysters! Enjoy or at least try one! uhhhh, NO THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
