What was the conclusion a commenter made again? Something about the common denominator between all societies is danger sticks and tasty doughs.
Something about stabbing something and eating fried dough
Frituro ergo sum
Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?
If shrimp can fry rice, they can deep fry as well.
Yeah, because it’s in water, not oil, it ain’t frying. It’s boiling.
The pressure at that depth allows the temperature to get way higher than 100°C, so I bet it probably is closer to frying than boiling.
Pressure cooking is still boiling though
The pressure in your pressure cooker is only 15 psi which raises the boiling point of water to about 120°C, well bellow the temperature of a deep fryer at 175°C.
The temperature of undersea vents can easily reach temperatures of over 300°C, which I would argue is more like frying.
Changing the temp doesn’t change the way it’s cooked.
It literally does
I don’t think so. I can bake things in my oven at like, so many different temps and they are all just baking.
And you’ve been down there to make sure they’re not using oil?
Not without a way to contain liquid fats underwater.
And you’ve been down there to check all their cooking containers?
Whales seem to have mastered that!
I’ve always said something similar, but not about deep frying.
I’ve always said it’s sticking weird things up your butt.
You never see a bear out in the woods find a live mouse, and decide to stick it up it’s own ass. You just don’t see it. Exactly 0 bears have stuck a living mouse up their own butt.
I can’t say the same for humans.
I don’t know about bears, but I wouldn’t it put it past a bonobo…
Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.
Some random traveler:
My milk is so far spoiled it has gone solid. But I can’t let it go to waste!Achievement unlocked Discovered cheese
I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.
Technically we don’t know what every bear has or hasn’t done
100% incorrect
I think animals are wise enough to understand most things don’t have a flared base
For most animals with claws or hooves it would be extremely hard to do that without hurting itself in the process
Elephants would probably try it but they can’t reach, so they get a friend to help
I don’t think even humans want to do that.
O really?
Beer, bread, and deep frying. Deep fry bread in beer to achieve the ultimate Human Experience™
For a quite wide definition of beer though
Y’all got any papers on one of the Australian Aboriginal societies deep frying?
Relatedly, there was a discussion here on Native Americans using seed oils for cooking that indicated that they did so rarely, if at all.
But native Americans did harvest lard to make protein bars, so possibly animal fat frying
I’m not sure I’d call any part of the process of making pemmican “frying.”
Certainly not. My point was solely that their only method of deep frying would have involved lard, and I can’t say either way whether they did so
The dividing line between civilization and beast is the Cornballer.

“But, I don’t like…”
“Ah, ah, ah–but, have you tried it deep-fried?”
“Hmm… Ooo!”
“Yep.”
This just in: Scotland new capital of Humanity!
Not to diminish Scotlands’ clear achievments in this area, but I l’m pretty sure China was deep frying foods (and making iron…) several milennia before deep fried pizza and mars bars ever graced Scotlands munchy boxes.
That and the cool S.
Trying to figure out what separates us from other animals is a unique human trait.
