(I know it's a joke but I wanted to point this out for people) It's not the fat/cholesterol that clogs arteries, arterial plaque buildup is a result of inflammation and insulin resistance. Fried foods also have a lot of transfats in them, which can happen when most types of oils are heated to a high temperature, which also causes stress and is carcinogenic. That being said, If you eat a lot of refined carbs and cholesterol, your body will use the carbs as fuel and more cholesterol is readily available for your body's inflammation response, ie plaque. Your body naturally produces roughly 80% of cholesterol, and you can only control roughly 20% of your bodys cholesterol. Much better to eat less refined carbs, a normal amount of healthy carbs and fats
When I was a kid, I had an idea for a restaurant that only served deep-fried food like fried chicken, corn dogs, egg rolls, French fries, onion rings, jalapeño poppers, donuts, fried Oreos, and a bunch of other stuff. I called it "I Expect You to Fry".
My part-Japanese mom used to tell me the story about Tokugawa Ieyasu dying from tempura gluttony to stop me from eating all the agemono (tasty deep fried foods) at the Japanese Sunday buffet when I was a kid in Hawaii. The other part of my family is mostly hushpuppy and beignet eaters. I guess I am destined to keep frying oil and bacon grease on hand.
Here’s a fact, that grease isn’t cleaned as often it should be, especially depending on the establishment. I once saw a gas station deli cook swat bugs into the fryer then go about making chicken like nothing was wrong. Edit: by bugs I wasn't talking about flies. It was spiders.
Crunchy flies? I bet that costs extra, AND you have to ask the right person, on the sly like you were buying illegal fireworks. Stop bragging about your awesome hookups, I can almost smell the deep fryer’s rancid, burnt oil, and taste the centipedes that Brian would scoop up off of the bathroom floor, and try to “Nothing but net” them into the soon to be undercooked chicken strips that don’t really sink into the oil but rest on the skin that formed over it the night before. I love Burger King!

Funny that Scotch eggs might have been invented for wealthy travelers. I traveled across Britain eating cellophane-wrapped Scotch eggs from petrol stations at a time when I was anything but wealthy.
From what I understand, they call them hush puppies because slaves would feed them to dogs that were chasing them to get them to "hush, puppy." in the American Civil War.
5:58 Umm, that's not true. Tokugawa Ieyasa was *not* the first Shogun. He was the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which was the LAST Shogunate but not the first. The first Shogun was named Minamoto Yoritomo, who became Shogun in 1192 (though had already held the power we'd associate with one for 7 years by that point). Tokugawa Ieyasu only became Shogun in 1603, and his Shogunate is, if I remember correctly, the third Shogunate to have existed in Japan.
Youtiao 油條 is very much still a common snack and enjoyed with rice congee in Hong Kong and Guangdong today, it translates to "oil stick" in Chinese, and is often served as a chopped and wrapped in a thin sheet of rice paper, with soy sauce poured over it, commonly referred to as 油炸鬼 (translating to "deep fried ghost"). A sweet variation also exists and is sold at congee shops , called 牛脷酥 ( ox tongue pastry, a reference to it's looks?) the only difference between that and 油炸鬼 is the joined tubular oval shape vs straight double tubular shape. 牛脷酥 is often eaten as is or as a "dessert" to congee
The first I ever had a churro, it was in 1974 at the Old Town State Park in San Diego, California. I bought it at the Panadería (Bake Shop). I had my first Beingnet at a St. Patrick's Day festival in 2016 in San Diego's Balboa Park. It was love at first bite.😋😍
An interesting journey, but no snack culture relies on deep frying as much as the Dutch. Frikandellen, bitterballen, kroketten, kaassoufflés, vlammetjes, and the legendary Oliebollen. So, a part 2 would be welcome.
Weird how the history of Onion Rings hasn't been documented very well. My favorite fried foods are fried shrimp, French Fries, onion rings, and fried cauliflower. However, I only eat fried foods in moderation. On a related note, Jack In The Box's fried tacos are very infamous for being so bad they're good [I personally never tried them], and I'm curious as to how and why Jack In The Box even had tacos in the first place, as they apparently date back to 1951, before Taco Bell. I think the tacos would be an interesting topic in a history of Jack In The Box video, and the early incarnations of Jack Box would also be interesting to talk about. The 1970s version of Jack was voiced by none other then Paul Winchell, who voiced Tigger and invented the artificial heart.
Well done for showing an actual picture of Mossley at 4:54. I also love that you show King’s fish & chips, from my home town of Boston, in Lincolnshire, at 5:44 (the original Boston, which the one in Massachusetts is named after).
Yes, yes, yes, we know. But the more famous Boston is where Fish & Chips were really created (joking, just letting people know that we in Mass love Fish & Chips too).
Between this video and the previous one specifically about Buffalo wings, I'm really glad this channel has taken the stance that the dish's origin isn't as clear cut as we were once led to believe.
I heard poison them and drop them on the ground so the pursuing bloodhounds would get sick or die, but either way hush them up so escaping enslaved people had a chance to put some distance between
4:40 There's nothing American about apple pie, every culture under the sun had been widely cooking it centuries before America was even close to becoming an actual country.
I absolutely love hush puppies! I make them at least once a week. Sometimes plain, sometimes not. But I’ll eat the entire batch in a day if no one else is home. They are my addiction.
Pretty interesting, but the placement of the"Spanish Inquisition"in Latin America does not make much sense...that's not how the assorted Inquisitions worked. They didn't "travel overseas" in the manner suggested.
@2:14 Larry the Cable Guy voices the character Mater in the Cars films. He lives around the Lincoln, Nebraska area goes to a lot of social events in the area.
You'd think I'd have heard that Lancashire supposedly had the first ever fish and chip shop given that I've lived here for 38 years, that's news to me. Another fun fact is that one of the best fish and chip places to order from in my town is actually a kebab shop.
@@buffys3477 It is lazy you’re right. I’m from Liverpool but moved up to the Fylde nearly a decade ago. Had some wonderful kebab shops back home. It’s a shame cos the meat in their kebabs are quite nice.
I thought that too, I get through tonnes of onions in a year if especially if you count liquidized ones used in cooking sauces/base gravies. I know I'm British and the vid said average American but the point still stands.
Being an American and "thanking the Mouse" for churros when Mexico is right there is crazy. More people have seen Mexican street vendors selling them than have even visited a Disney park.
Being originally from the coast of Texas, about halfway between Mexico and New Orleans, I could not help but think "what's so crazy about that stuff?" Haha but I enjoy the food history!
Most interesting thing to me was that the onion ring doesn’t have a reference from before 1850: it looks like something that could have been served way sooner in history. (It could be possible of course that it was served in a place that didn’t get too popular until American entrepreneurs stole it, similar to a lot of candies.)
One summer I had a part-time job working in the snack bar at the bowling alley. We deep-fried a pair of shoes and threw them on the roof for the rats to eat. The were size 11.5, I think.
You think onion rings are a big contributor to the estimated 20lbs of onions Americans eat annually? Have you ever cooked basically any recipe? One of many reasons why people with onion allergies have a rough go and frankly shouldn’t eat in restaurants if it’s severe. There’s just no way to guarantee no cross contamination. I’ve had like 6 onion rings in the past decade. I go through at least one onion weekly at home
Check your facts, Atlas Obscure includes recipes from a book (stone tablets) from ancient Babylonia. There are cookbooks from the 1600/1700 French Court and the Fanny Farmer Cookbook was first published in 1896, which includes recipes for fried food.
I'm old enough to remember when Red Lobster had hush puppies as a side dish before they had the cheddar bay biscuits. They were delicious, RL made the best hush puppies.
"Churros were traditionally dusted with cinnamon and sugar" ... that is 100% wrong. Churros come from Spain, where they are a traditional breakfast in cafes, known as "chocolate con churros." There is a piping hot cup of liquid chocolate in which one dips a PLAIN churro, which is traditionally the only option. Cinnamon and sugar on churros was never done in Spain, at least not traditionally, making me wonder, Weird History: where do you get your information??
I have a unusual food allergy to ordinary potatoes. I am there for happy with onion rings. When in was a kid, there was rice fries made by the Orida food company. There was regular and cheese rice fries. I haven't seen them at a grocery store for decades 😟
"...remember to thank Mickey Mouse and the Spanish Inquisition." The narrator's performance complements the diabolically funny writing perfectly here. I'm curious: Why is the narrator not credited for these?
I'm going on 5 years whole foods. I had a deep fryer and would prey on all the heavy people in my neighborhood. My goodness. I made egg rolls, mozz stix, chicken fingers. jalapeno poppers, onion rings, I started to feel guilty these people wanted me to open at 6 am I had them all hooked. My buddy weighs over 300 lbs and said he wanted to stop eating junk and I said I'll help you in any way I can. he stopped smoking and I'm all jazzed about his new journey. I stopped dealing fried foods like a dope dealer and feel pretty good about it too.
They don’t make real onion rings, they use chopped up bits of onion that are formed into uniform shapes and sizes then, frozen, battered and frozen again until cooked.
I love fried foods, especially onion rings, fried green tomatoes, sopapillas, and beignets. As I like to keep my kitchen clean and my smoke alarms are sensitive, I'd rather go to a restaurant to eat these and other fried treats.
Sad thing about the Anchor Bar is that they are more of a tourist attraction than a place to go get good wings as their quality has apparently taken a nosedive. Shame, too. Betcha their wings back then would have gone REALLY good with Buffalo style pizza!
Until the late 80's when you ordered chicken breasts they would give you the wings free to get rid of them. It wasn't until BW3's took off that they started charging. Now if you have big orders you have to order literally years out to reserve them.
Fried food has a special place in American hearts. Specifically the aorta.

In British fish 'n' chips the fish is battered not breaded.

I love Burger King!
Gross, but technically, the fryer is still sanitary!
Depends on the restaurant, one I worked at we would change the oil and clean the fryers every single night.
Don't know how bugs flying around have anything to do with how old the geese/oil is.
Guess I better throw out the unopened jug of oil I bought.

Interesting, I never knew that.

No, the pieces of cornbread were thrown to the dogs who gathered under the dinner table and whined for scraps.
