I don't know about the deep frying part, but I make a super tasty sandwich thus:
Toasted 6" sub roll, spread thinly with cream cheese, thinly sliced sharp cheddar, 1/2 thinly sliced grany smith apple, three slices of bacon, drizzle with pure maple syrup. Also works with Proscuitto instead of bacon. One of these days I want to try this with sweet hot pepper relish too.
Some others:
Grapefruit segments with goat cheese, endive, and aleppo pepper.
Proscuitto wrapped cantaloupe (yeah, I know, it's a standard Italian appetizer, but it strikes me as odd.)
Pineapple/Chipotle/Green Bell Pepper salsa.
Graham cracker breaded deep fried calamari (never tried it, but I have heard about this one and the theory is sound.)
Malta. You know, the unfermented dark ale from Goya? This is actually a non-combination. They forgot the frickin yeast! I tried it. Not revolting, but have a beer if you want a beer. I'm almost tempted to see if I could flatten a twack of it and ferment it out properly, but it's probably loaded with preservatives other than the hops.
Hot Pepper Porter (Actually, Hot Pepper. Licorice Root, Roasted Rye, Ginger, Smoked Porter. It was awesome! Bottled it in 22 oz Newcastle bottles.)
Ginger Brown Ale - The perfect beer to drink with sushi.
Chocolate Porter. A perennial favorite. Unsweetened chocolate in beer adds a depth that you cant find anywhere else.
Cayenne pepper in chocolate milkshake. Just a pinch makes it colder and chocolatey-er.
