They are nice but I'm not a sucker for wasting oil on sweets when they can be better made for stuffing jalapenos with cream cheese and deep frying them. I'm more likely to deep fry mushrooms, vegetables, one fruit being tomatoes, and stuffed dumplings. All of it is better off as a side dish while you have a main course anyway; as it is not meant to be the main course due to how unhealthy it is. Most stuffed dumplings, basically dough covering any stuffing, of stuffed peppers are better when deep fried. Cookies on the other hand are an eh situation where I'm not all to fond. I'm fine with bananas as my father taught me how to deep fry them as he lived in Peru for a bit in his childhood.
Interesting, to me personally I still see it as an odd style of cooking since I guess I never had it first hand, or did at a younger age and never noticed it.
But as you said it was unhealthy...and my mother when I was a child...well lets say "over protective" (thats my childhood in a nutshell XD) so I didn't see/hear a lot of things until I was older and away from her.
But anyway before I steer this conversation off topic even more, I guess I should look into deep fried foods, just to see how it is.
