Update on RE: [at-l] Update on FRIED TWINKIES

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Anybody who gave me FRIED TWINKIES would be my angel.

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE:
1) I also understand you can batter dip candy bars (probably those like
Snickers with a softish center) and deep fry those.  All the basic 3 hiking
food groups ;-): Chocolate, fat, and sugar.

2) Apparently you don't have to freeze the twinkies.  Just chill them.  And
one variation was to cut them in quarters and then fry them.  Then take the
bite bits and lay on a bed of berry "coozies" (?).

How about putting the Twinkies (got to remember they're a BRAND name) in a
tightly sealed bag or container and putting in one of the cold streams.  And
making some instant pudding or instant whipped topping at the same time.
Fried Twikies a la Cream.

PS	I wonder if you could deep fry a Moon Pie?

P2S	Anybody ever carried and reused oil/fat for "deep" frying?

William and I have been discussing this. I started this post as an
entertainment, but with a few suggestions form William, I am beginning to
think it has real possibilities.

First of all, is it really necessary to freeze the Twinkie? Couldn't we just
chill it in a cold stream? (In a Ziploc bag of course.)

Second, William suggested (from the Stove thread) a new hiker gotta have -
the Pepsi Can Deep Fryer. Who wants to design it?

Add four ounces of oil and place over your Pepsi Can Stove, insert battered
Twinkie, and wait sixty seconds. Remove Twinkie and enjoy. Is four ounces of
oil too much to carry for a trail treat like this?
