Best unusual fried thing
Is it an appetizer or is it dessert? It doesn't really matter when it's as tasty as the fried goat cheese with honey and pepper at Midtown's Ecco. Photo: Elissa Eubanks, eeubanks@ajc.com

OUR PICKS
1. Arancini with citrus and fennel pollen at Cakes & Ales
AJC Food and More’s Popular Eats blogger Jon Watson says, “No trip to Decatur’s Cakes & Ale is complete without an order of the Arancini. These deep fried balls of cheesy risotto, seasoned with a hint of fennel pollen and citrus, are delightfully addictive. Don’t be surprised if you send your server back for a second round once they quickly disappear from the table.”

Fried mashed potatoes at Carvers near the meat packing district will change your life! Freaking awesome! They don’t always have them but, you can’t go wrong with anything there. I am pretty sure they could make cardboard taste good.

I was a first semester student at Philip’s College Northside, when I was told about Fuddrucker’s for the first time.
That weekend, I went over there and had a ball, eating chili-cheese fries for the first time!!
(The burger wasn’t bad, either!!)

I love the pimento cheese fritters at Relish with the hot pepper jelly. Sorry to see it go in 2011 to be replaced by (yet another) Mexican place.
I also enjoyed the “crispy” baby artichoke I had at Sugo in Roswell recently. Note to kitchen: It would have been nice to have more than ONE with my half order of braciole, guys!!

I was at a friend’s house the other night and they sliced potatoes up into pieces that were about a quarter of an inch thick and three to four inches long. They deep fried them and man, they were good! Maybe it’ll catch on here in the US but it’s probably too European for American tastes.

Fried Rutabagas at the BBQ Cafe on Virginia Avenue. Their lunch menu and veggies change daily, and one day I went there and they were not serving fried green tomatoes. So I got the rutabagas…..delicious!

How in the *@$$ do you fry Coke? Also, what is the big deal about fried green tomatoes, they have been around for years! And can someone take the keyboard away from Tom before he hurts himself? He shouldn’t be online without a grown-up around to supervise him!

@Darlene, child where have you been? People have been eating fried green tomatoes since I was a child, and I was born in 1947. That is nothing new. You must be from up North.

My wife is Cuban. Her Fried Yuca is killer, so are her Ham Croquettes, which are fried, throw in some roast pork and black beans and rice and you got heaven on a plate.

The hand cut fried cheese sticks at The Derby are hard to beat. You should split them though.

I had fried oreos a couple years ago at Corks & Forks at Grant Park’s Summer Shade Festival, they were delicious! I’ve also tried a fried Snickers bar and a fried Mars bar, both good.

Anyone tried fried banana pudding. I’m really wanting to try it. Found a recipe from a restaurant in Alabama and hoping my brother will do it. It was his idea, I think he needs to bet the guinea pig!!
