okay, fine, it's a food thing

This may be the saddest reason to travel ever....

Thanks to FFA thread International Fast Food, I want to do a World McDonald's Tour. Like, all the McDonald's, everywhere, so I, too, can try the McFood Item Here.

It's not just that, though; this food tour would be all-encompassing. As someone in the thread pointed out, I live in the state of "If It Exists, We Can Fry It and Put it On a Stick (Let Us Show You How!)"; this would be like an odyssey to see all the things we have yet to fry and put in sticks (yet). I know for a fact that huevos rancheros kolaches are a thing that are delicious and also, in case you don't know this, can easily be breaded with a delicious Bisquick mix and placed, yes, on a stick, and apply deep fryer.

...I can't think of anything you can't fry and put on a stick, actually, which probably says a lot more about me than anything. I guess beverages, but honestly, I have a deep fry and a deep desire to prove it's possible, so maybe some inventions should not be in the province of humankind. Might also technically defeat the purpose of being a beverage as well, IDK.

ETA: linking amireal to the world of kolache, found Klobasnek, which is the non-dessert version of kolaches. I have never heard this before and I grew up in Czech/German descent households. This is so cool and surreal. Also, the picture shown there is deliciousness personified, jsyk. A less delicious (but still delicious) version is sold at the convenience store, including one stuffed with jalapeno sausage and egg and cheese and slices of jalapeno just in case you missed it in the sausage. Your tongue may scream "OH GOD WHAT DID NOT SEE THAT COMING" but your soul says "Milk please before I take another bite."

On your world tour, make sure to stop at Mos Burger in Japan! It's Japanese-style burgers with a very light, fresh taste and tasty Japanese mayonnaise (the only kind of mayonnaise I like). Also melon soda. I actually went to McDonalds more in Japan than any other time in my life simply because it's non-smoking. You can buy something really cheap then stay there for hours. Mos Burger tastes better but will eventually have a waitress come over and hover politely until you leave.

Heh. We used to have the McAussie but it seems to have been replaced with the Grand Angus. Which is yum, but it doesn't have the beetroot slice.

...You can, technically, fry a beverage. Sort of.

No idea how good it is (my first thought is "probably very", but I have a distressing level of weakness for weird fried food, so...), but it exists. And I am pretty sure you could get that onto a stick- or, at least, the Coca-Cola batter portion could be on a stick. The syrup & whatnot might make it too messy to go on a stick, not sure.

Now I want a deep fryer to experiment with that idea. (I don't have anywhere to PUT a deep fryer, or money for one, otherwise I'd have one already.)

hahaha great minds think alike. I was actually going to mention the deep fried coke, but it's not really a beverage, more like a cola-flavored funnel cake.

We also do fried beer and fried margaritas.

Someday, after I win the lotto, I want to do an eating tour of the US: Pulled pork sandwiches (with cole slaw in top!) in Virginia, softshell blue crab in Maryland, smoked salmon in the NW, the chile festival in New Mexico, that sort of thing.

Someday...

When I was a kid, we drove from New York to California twice to visit family friends; my mother threatened to write 'Hamburgers from Coast to Coast', because of all the burgers we ate. This was, of course, back when restaurant reviews weren't in newspapers, so I suspect she would have been doing recipes instead of reviews, but the idea was there.

I think deepfried ice cream has been done at the Calgary Stampede (I did not try them, but the little donuts sprinkled with icing sugar are amazing) so I'm pretty sure if you enclosed the beverage with something, someone would deep fry it.
