Fried bread ..... yes or no?

[rennie]

fried bread is made of nausea and fail


toast ftw

wot he said.

Too right - A proper Ulster Fry makes a Full English breakfast look like health food - we don't have the second highest heart attack rate in the UK for nothing (one day we might even beat Scotland..)

What she said. I can feel my arteries hardening just thinking of it.

Kyser says I don't understand about fried bread because I come from a savage land and am culturally barren.

You do indeed come from a savage land, and like all your fellow convict spawn, are most definitely culturally barren. However, irrespective of cultural indigence, fried bread is wrong to the core. I would imagine it's a vestige of more impecuniousness times, when wasting even a single calorie was frowned upon. After all, if you're about to embark on a 12 hour shift of back breaking toil down the local colliery, you can probably justify the odd bit of fat soaked white sliced.

Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff with a long pointy stick, but then I'm not a fan of fried food in general.

[becki1701]

Fried bread is yuuuuuuuuuuuum!!

 

[Xanadu]

Fried bread tastes of heart attack

I do like spreading butter on one side of the bread, then putting that (butter-side down) in a hot dry frying pan. Especially if bacon's been cooked in the pan beforehand

fried white bread is mostly made of fail. fried soda or potato bread is made of win. mmmm..

Crispy fried bread is a thing of beauty - slightly soggy fried bread is as attractive and tasty as poo

Wot her Maj says.

I've never liked fried bread (ordinary white sliced) when i've tried it, it's too greasy, but i've never had soda bread or potato bread.

Weeeelllllll. It depends if you mean 'bread that is cooked by frying' in which case I would tend to agree, or 'bread that is cooked by baking and then fried' which I don't know about. Fried bread and croutons are the only two that immediately spring to mind.

How about Paratha?

 

[Annierak]

Fried bread = Filth. Hate anything fried. Way too greasy and disgusting

Only if you dip it in beaten egg first, then it's lush.

Fried bread on it's own is really rank

 

[subversplat]

Fried bread is awesome. Sometimes I make it instead of toast with marmite on

I must admit though that it's something I've acquired a taste for - I wasn't particularly keen as a youth.

Kyser says I don't understand about fried bread because I come from a savage land and am culturally barren. Personally, I think it's excessive to already have a fry up that is basically a heart attack on a plate and then think 'How can I make this just a bit more fatty? I know, I'll fry the bloody bread....' So - tell me, fried bread, do any other countries do it, or is it just an English thing? And will I ever understand it?

polllski???

fried bread=win

Indeed.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Yes, yes, yes!

 

[spanglechick]

Bleurgh. Fried bread just tastes of elderly oil. Disgusting.

completely different foodstuff, shurely?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

No McNo.

She speaks the truth!

But achieving cripsy fried bread, IME, takes a helluva lot of fat so I never make it these days.

I used to love it the way my mother used to make it when I was a kid....the worst kind of plastic white sliced fried in LARD

completley different? You only dip it in egg and fry it!

 

[Structaural]

It's got to fried in dripping. But no, not anymore.

I feel the same way about folk who are pro fried bread

I have to say that I prefer toast although I'm quite ok about eating fried bread if it's done in decent clean oil.

It's just that bit too nasty on the internal linings, the kind of thing that would give me mouth ulcers if I ate too much hence toast instead. I don't actually have one at the moment but a toast rack is important in order to keep the slices crisp and ofc all buttering should be done immediately before the toast hits the plate.

Toast racks, plates, spreading and crispness are another thread entirely!

 

[Detroit City]

I likes it

 

[bluestreak]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Geri]

I love fried bread, but I only ever have it in a cafe. I couldn't eat it if I had to see how much fat goes into it.

 

[linerider]

with brown sauce on.
