The Amazingly Odd Things Americans Do

Our Love Affair with Frying

Every county fair that comes up, we have a wonderful trend of frying all sorts of foods. Twinkies, pickles, fruit, and all sorts of meats, we fry it. Some experiments shouldn’t happen, period, but Americans have a wide menu of fried food we love to eat and eat a lot. While frying food is not unique, and can be quite common in some parts of the world like Asia, we have perfected fried food to an art.

As noted at the beginning, even with all our melting pot consolidation, as Americans we have some quirks rarely found anywhere else in the world. And that makes American culture stand out on its own, even when made up of a constant mix of people from everywhere else over generations.
