People eat strange things when drunk. About five years ago, there was a brief fad in London for eating Mars Bars deep fried in batter.
No, I don't know either. :?
hedgie:
I believe that the deep-fried Mars Bars were originally a Scottish thing. It makes some sense, since the American South has a rather large Scots-Irish population, and both cultures seem to deep-fry anything.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 21 Apr 2015, 03:22 ---Just an explanation about Claire talking down Faye. I don't see them as being antagonistic in the future but I do think that they might be a bit frosty and 'arms length' for a while. Add onto that money worries and Claire could be critical of Faye thinking that she's only saying what Marten is too nice and loyal to say himself. Also remember that Claire can be judgemental, so I thought that her saying something like that was in-character.

This makes a lot of sense. We have no evidence money was an issue in Claire's parents' divorce, but it usually is. We know for a fact that Claire carries baggage about her father's conduct. If she thought Faye was sponging off Marten, there's great potential for conflict.

I've seen deep fried butter alongside the usual panoply of deep-fried stuff (Oreos, Twinkies, Snickers, ice cream, cheesecake, etc.). Somehow I get the feeling that's one of those "only in America..." things.
Aside from things that should never be reheated (fish, anything in a cream sauce, takeout pasta dishes), lots of things taste better the second day. Especially home-made chili.

My chili doesn't taste its best until about day 3, IMO.
And that's after 8-10 hours in the crock pot on low!
