    Top four fried foods

    PICKLES: THE CHIPPENDALE HOTEL (CHIPPENDALE)

    M: One word: perfection. Salty, crispy, tangy, slippery, sweet perfection. Good opportunity to align Eastern European heritage with current batter-loving identity. 5/5

    C: Despite my initial misgivings, I’m a fan. Probably not a would-stake-out-the-hotel-in-the- hopes-of-meeting-Harry Styles fan, but I would attend the concert of the deep-fried pickle. Salty & crispy, an easy finger-food option. 3.5/5

    ICE CREAM: THE GREEN PALACE (NEWTOWN)

    M: Some mysteries will never be explained (the Loch Ness monster, crop circles, where the second sock goes, etc.) and deep-fried ice-cream is one such mystery. Warm and crunchy on the outside, yet, frozen on the inside. A scientific anomaly! Would hit up again. 3/5

    C: It is a myth that deep fried ice cream is good. It is NOT. The ice cream was shit and the batter tasted like my foot. If I had to choose between eating the ice cream and sleeping with an improv comedian – I would fuck the comedian. 0/5

    MAC ’N’ CHEESE: THE NORFOLK HOTEL (SURRY HILLS)

    M: With the key ingredients being cheese, pasta and batter – did you really need us to tell you it’s good? A festival of carbs conveniently packaged in mouth-sized balls; easy to shove in your face between sips of beer. My only gripe is the cheese could have been more flavoursome, but not everyone can devour a block of blue cheese in one sitting. 4.5/5

    C: Deep-fried cheese and pasta – me in a ball. Perfect amount of batter, not too cheesy. Forget about following the Middle Way to reach Nirvana – just eat this delicacy and trust me, deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese will be forevermore synonymous with “orgasm”. 5/5

    MARS BAR: BLISS & CHIPS (NEWTOWN)

    M: For this delicacy I recommend taking a trip to the OG dealer at Bondi, rather than settling for Newtown’s vegan alternative. Still an enjoyable experience, but like most things, would have been improved with dairy. 4/5

    C: I’m not sure if it was the ‘vegan’ part or ‘deep-fried’ part of ‘deep-fried vegan mars bar’ that has me dubious. I struggle to trust any establishment that advertises itself as a seafood shop – but is vegan? What? WHY? Despite my concerns about the actual ingredients, it was quite good. Gooey and sweet, a decent dessert. 3/5

    We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The University of Sydney – where we write, publish and distribute Honi Soit – is on the sovereign land of these people. As students and journalists, we recognise our complicity in the ongoing colonisation of Indigenous land. In recognition of our privilege, we vow to not only include, but to prioritise and centre the experiences of Indigenous people, and to be reflective when we fail to be a counterpoint to the racism that plagues the mainstream media.
