What would you do to christen a deep fryer?

A few years ago, long before any of you (and even I) came to know me as “Tiny Bites”, my husband and I were already making a name for ourselves with themed potlucks that no one else in our circle were willing to (re)produce.
One such potluck was simply called The Deep Fry Party – a christening of the deep fryer that my dad had gotten for us the Christmas prior.
The setup was this:
- We’d put up the deep fryer, the jug of canola oil, and a paprika & beer batter at our place.
- You’d bring anything that you wish to deep fry. Anything.
Sure enough, only the most daring and/or the most Filipino of our social net came to this dinner affair. These are just some of the things that wound up battered and dumped into our fryer:
- Bananas
- Twinkies
- Mars bars
- Ice cream sandwiches
- Memphis Blues corn bread
- Lumpiang prito
- Big Macs. 3 of them.
- Peanut butter and banana sandwiches with a layer of bacon, grilled on the stovetop, then soaked in the beer batter. I kid you not.
By now, you’re probably reading this with a healthy amount of disbelief and/or disgust (I would). Want proof? Here you go.
So…want to come to our next themed potluck? Drop us a line in the comments and we’ll get in touch as we plan it.

That deep-fried Big Mac is too cool. Teehee.
