So that's how human beings are different from all animals! Wow!

Deep fryer owner here. Nothing I've fried has been made worse by the deep fryer - and most things are substantially better. I do not regret the purchase.

Excuse me, but that's pan frying. Your meme is invalid.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 28 points 17 hours ago

You're absolutely right. deep (fried) apologies.

Beginner level tempura sushi (forgot the batter)

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 17 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

The YouTuber "Ordinary Sausage" managed quite a lot of spectacular deep frying failures. It's often bad technique but still...

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The whole egg incident was a prime example of very bad food to deep fry though I think

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 14 hours ago

Indeed, and I thought the deep fried hand was the worst idea

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 16 hours ago

Maybe one day he will try to to freeze and batter the butter before deep frying.

Just seal it in dough (as in soup dumplings) then deep fry them.

I've had deep fried butter.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You can do that. Put it in the fridge and let it congeal, then make little balls and roll them in bread crumbs before frying. Basically Bitterballen

Fair warning: without a substantial binding component (ie. fats), that fried soup is going to be a bitch to eat before it melts, and moreso as it does. Choose wisely.

Only in warm climates, definitely not "almost all" cultures.

Scotland has entered the chat

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Only the Scots would think to scotch an egg…

Frituro ergo sum

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 38 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

What was the conclusion a commenter made again? Something about the common denominator between all societies is danger sticks and tasty doughs.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 23 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 13 hours ago

If shrimp can fry rice, they can deep fry as well.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 20 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

Yeah, because it's in water, not oil, it ain't frying. It's boiling.

I've always said something similar, but not about deep frying.

I've always said it's sticking weird things up your butt.

You never see a bear out in the woods find a live mouse, and decide to stick it up it's own ass. You just don't see it. Exactly 0 bears have stuck a living mouse up their own butt.

I can't say the same for humans.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 16 hours ago

Elephants would probably try it but they can't reach, so they get a friend to help

[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 24 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...

Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

[–] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 21 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

I don't think even humans want to do that.
