Fried-ice cream is alive and well in the USA!

[Guest guest]

hi,

i have heard of fried ice cream way back in 1091-82. i

ate it at a chinese restaurant as an inquisitve dish

on the list. it fascinated me to think that one can

fry ice cream. anyway - it was a dollop of ice

cream,rolled in batter & fried in oil. i do not know

deep fried or shallow freied. served with whatever

topping. it tasted nice. hot on outside & cold inside.
