Having never ever had a deep fried twinkie or any other sort of carnival confection of the sort, upon arriving to Fremont Street, we went off in search of a place that offered such crazy confections. Online searching let us know that Nathan's was one such place that carried deep fried twinkies as well as deep fried bananas! We headed over and got in a rather busy line but it moved pretty quickly. We ordered and a somewhat friendly set cooks and servers behind the counters took care of us. At one point, when I requested the deep fried banana, I was asked if I wanted a "male or female banana". This led to some confusion and I stood there unsure what to say. The guy asked pointd to my partner and said "what does he have that you don't?" I literally had no clue what to say that wouldn't come off really vulgar at the time, until the guy behind the counter laughed and said "do you want nuts on the banana?" and I burst out laughing! They were definitely a bunch that had fun with their jobs.
Our deep fried snack came to about $2.50 for both items. The twinkie came out hot and covered in icing sugar, while the banana was frozen with a layer of deep fried batter topped with nuts (we went with the "male" banana option). Both were extremely eye-crossingly sweet, but delicious. We couldn't finish what we had, since they were pretty hefty portions but since they were cheap, we didn't feel too bad with what was left over.
