You've probably had deep-fried bananas. I've had deep-fried watermelon. Like most deep-fried foods, neither is particularly memorable except for the kitsch, even if they do taste good.

Which I think supports the original point: you can deep-fry anything and enjoy tasty results, but that _still_ doesn't mean there's anything substantial in the sense of untapped value.

Food is highly sensitive to cultural and social context. Even with deep-fried fruits, the part that stuck with you the most was the "kitsch" rather than the flavor, texture, aroma, size, cost, or any other objective fact about the food item.

My observation offers no lessons on deep learning image recognition, but as long as we are already on a tangent...
