All departed this world in a shovel of fat

At my family's annual Hanukkah party tonight, my brother deep-fried: Golden Oreos, a Crunchie bar, two kinds of marzipan (chocolate-dipped and plain), a peeled clementine, candied orange peel, candied ginger, a chocolate marshmallow, and Great Cthulhu. There were calls for him to deep-fry some grapes, but by that point the exercise was mostly theoretical: I'm not sure anyone's cardiovascular system could have stood further experimentation. We may have achieved both excellence and serious injury.

But oh, my God. Deep-fried candied orange peel and deep-fried candied ginger. That may be all you need.

And hope.

The only colossal squid I've seen had been well pickled in formalin, so I don't think anyone was about to calamari it. But a baby colossal squid, surely that would be tasty...(in principle. I don't think I'd want to actually eat anything that smart).
