One serving of oreos is 160 calories and 7 grams of fat.. There are 15 servings in a box. A box is 18 oz. a serving is 34 g 1 oz is ~28 gr, im tired of doing math, someone else figure it out.

I wonder how many calories and grams of fat six fried Oreos contain? It looks like one Oreo, unfried, provides 160 calories and 7 grams of fat, but I don't know how to factor in the grease-soaked batter. Not to mention the powdered sugar.

I suspect "nutritionists" is not the target market here.

Sometimes it's better not to know... :)

Yea, and they could offer deep fried butter
as an appetizer.
That garbage should stay in Texas.

What is with these people? In the face of all the evidence that shows how bad obesity is for us, intrepid restauranteurs come along inviting us to expedite the arrival of the BIG ONE!! I agree with a Cosmos Girl: keep it in Texas where bigger is better. Seriously, this is really distressing to me. You might as well smoke a couple packs of Camels a day. Same result. Early death.

would this be part of maria d's ilk from fed hill that will now be infecting harford county with their slop?

No one is saying eat them for dessert everyday. It is called moderation. If you split the dessert with your dining partner, and only had it say once a month, I don't think it would take time off your life!

Deep-fried Oreos may be a hit on the carnival/state fair circuit, but I have a hard time believing that people will flock in droves to experience that stuff on a daily basis at local restaurants.

that isnt fact, thats "one serving", "one serving" is not one cookie. Please correct your post.

Thanks. I corrected it. It's just that to me, one Oreo is one serving. Maybe more than one. :-) EL

Welcome to the Waddle Inn where we deep fry everything. Where shortening refers to what we do to your life, lard is just the first half of your nickname and there's more recycled oil than you'll find at JiffyLube. Nothing like a dinner of deep fried filet mignon, deep fried mashed potatos (French fries are so ordinaire) and deep fried spinach, preceded, of course, by a deep fried iceberg lettuce salad (sprinkled with deep fried feta cheese.) The coup de grace, of course, before they call the paramedics, is a double order of those delicious deep fried oreos. Cocktail before dinner? A maragarita with a martini chaser? Splendid choice, Monsieur. Here at the Waddle Inn, even our customers get fried.

That was splendid, MAG Man.

But really, calories aside, does anyone think that deep fried oreos even sound good? There are a lot of new experiences I still want to try in my life, but that doesn't remotely seem like one of them.

How about deep fried Chicken Rico?

Naw, Trixie, although their deep fried yucca is very, very good.

I admit to a small amount of curiosity about the deep fried oreos, but only enough that I'd be willing to try one bite. Not an entire order. After all, I don't particularly like oreos in their natural habitat.

I'd rather have the deep fried butter, I think.

Trixie,

No way. That would destroy the truely addictive spice mix they use. Plus, its rotissary, so there's no guilt when I eat the skin.

"deep fried mashed potatos"

Hmmm.... you know, you... you just may have something there...

Bill, trust me, two packs of Camels don't have anywhere near 160 calories. And while they may take 10 years from your life, they're the last ten.
To absolutely no avail I'm sure, I'll point out the possibility that deep-fried Oreos and their ilk pay homage to the uniquely human senses of absurdity and humor. I know there are those who have neither. I just can't imagine why they'd want to live an extra 10 years.

i just talked to my dad yesterday, who lives in ohio, and he told me that in a food court at his local mall they just opened a place called "fair food"...and has all kinds of...well, fair food. french fries, deep fried items of the non-healthy variety, cinnamon rolls the size of your head, etc.

interesting.

in toronto, a place called dangerous dan's serves an amazing dessert called the Beast. it contains 1 deep fried mars bar, 6 deep fried cheesecake triangles, 6 deep fried brownie squares, 2 scoops of ice cream whip cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips. try eating one after an elvis burger (a peanut butter, fried banana, bacon cheeseburger).

in atlanta, there used to be a place that served krispy kreme bacon cheeseburgers (called luther burgers) and Hamdogs (hotdog encased in hamburger, deep fried, then covered in chili, cheese, fried egg, and onions). that place also served deep fried twinkies, oreos, etc for dessert.

I'll have one Beckett Burger, an Oreo Camus, and a Sartre-on-a-Stick.

Just kidding about the deep fried Chicken Rico. Based on the glowing opinions of it, it sounds heavenly as is. Can't wait to try it. But I always think of the song Rico Suave when it's mentioned. That is an earworm that will drive you crazy.

Reading this thread is giving me a tummy ache.

I've always wanted to try deep-fried haggis. Found a place in Toronto that did it, but, unfortunately, I moved here before I made it to the centre of the universe.

Golly Ned, I don't care for Oreos, so deep-frying them has no attraction to me whatsoever. Now if someone figured out how to deep-fry a Berger cookie, I could be in serious trouble!

Its funny how in one thread people are all "oh my god how dare you speak ill of the panhandlers who harass me at dinner" but wow the hate for fat people is really out there.. just replace 'fat" for the ethnicity of your choice, and well, we're back in the 60s. Seriously, bill is really distressing me. Nobody is forcing you to even go there, or even read this blog, or comment on this one topic!

I agree with youRichard Simmons. Lots of fat discrimination and hatred.

Also, my theory as a person who tends to be "plump" is that if I have to ask how many calories something is, it surely isn't for me!

I used to spend alot of time in nursing homes when I worked for a mechanical contractor. Every morning the employees would wheel the residents out to the room with the tv that was always way too loud and park them for the day. After watching these poor people I would leave the place, fire up a cigar and then go to the GB Grill for deep fried liver. For alot of people those last 10 years are just not worth living.

Remember that no matter what you eat (or don't eat) no one gets out alive. I do walk a couple of miles every night and am trying to drop about 30 pounds but just because I feel better a little lighter and in some kind of shape not because I think it will make me live an extra ten years. After doing that colon cancer thing and talking to my mom about her breast cancer I am convinced a nice quick heart attack isn't a bad thing to wish for.

I'm hoping that when it's my time, one morning I'll just wake up dead.

It's not easy to wake up dead.

This is either passe or the Amish are cutting edge. Today at the Bird in Hand Farmers Market-Deep Fried Oreos. 3 for $2.75. What's next to hit the big time-shoo fly pie?

Elite Elephant Lover:

Well said. You put things in perfect perspective.

I wake up in the morning, read the obituaries, and, if my name isn't there, get dressed and continue with my day.
