NOW i've seen and heard it all!!!!

I was reading something this morning (yesssss-I CAN read) that was talking about some of the newest ""foods"' that will be available at the Texas State Fair this year.

One in particular made me sick to my stomach to read about-which was: FRIED BUTTER. Butter is breaded and deep fried-cut and simple. The butter can come in other flavors too-like Garlic, Strawberry, etc etc. Supposedly the just buttered flavored Fried Butter-is supposed to taste like a Croissant w/ lots of butter on it. Now-I love the taste of butter too-but, to me trying that concoction is just like opening a stick of butter and taking bites out of it. Not for me-no way, no how, no thanks. This """""""""Delicasy""""""""" was the brainchild of the guy who invented Fried Coke--that is-the softdrink and not the white powdered crap so many idiots sniff up their noses or inject themselves with.

There were other wierd concoctions mentioned that will also be available-like: Fried Peanut-butter and Jelly Sandwiches, Fried Twinkies etc. What's next? Fried Mayonnaise? Fried Catsup? Fried Mustard? Fried Scopalomine? (SP?) Deep Fried Chocolate and whipped-cream smothered Hotdogs????? Fried Halls Sore Throat drops????????

 

For those anti-anorexic people you know. The only deep fried..thing... i've ever had was oreos.. and i suppose they wern't bad.

But honestly.. This is just asking for death on a paper plate.

I wonder what the colesterol and fat count on deep fried garlic butter would be...
*cringes*

 

Fried Coke

 

Blimey they'll be stuffing chicken with the stuff soon and calling it by some fancy Russian name.. And dont give the scots any ideas... They will be frying chocolate bars...

 

There was me thinking old Carl had a a few sexy French ladies reading the newspapers for him.


Trust me Carl you think and seen it all but no, there is more out there than you can shake a stick to.

 

Reminds me of the King of the Hill episode where Bill and Boomhauer deep fry everything.

 

was that the gout episode or was it another? i enjoy King of the Hill.

Fried butter, yuck thats nasty, fried oreos i tried once and i wasn't crazy about that too. I really try to stay away from deep fried foods, but fish and potatoe slices or hash browns i cant. But believe me i wont be trying no fried butter

 

Fred butter.... that would be a good cancer candidate

 

episode where Hank forgot to pay his insurance bill, His wife and Luanne are stuck at a rest stop until he pays it and they are trying to break into a vending machine for food

 

Heh heh, the "word' for this guys food should be: "Heart Attack on a stick."

Actually, I heard Fried Coke tasted surprisingly good. Iv'e never had any? so the Jury is still out on that one. I also heard about fried twinkies and fried cup cakes and they supposedly taste good too. Now, I like all those things in their original conditions and seperately, but, I don't think I want to use of over half of my daily calorie intake just to eat a deep battered and deep fried twinkie.

Also, I think it was TGI Fridays that introduced-or in the least--served fried ice cream. My brother raves about how good it tastes and he doesn't care much for fried foods.

I grew up eating loads of fried stuff--Chicken Fried Steaks, Fried Chicken, Bacon, Eggs, "grilled" Cheese Sandwiches-French Friees (and yup--these were prepared by the French Women ;-)) , and no telling what other fried stuff I consumed? Dougnuts were another example. However, in all these years of eating the fried stuff I ate and with great frequency, it never had an effect on my health-arteries were and still are-perfecty clean. I firmly believe that the amount of Chocolates I consumed over the years-had to play a positive role in keeping the Arteries cleaned out ;-))

Anyway, as much as I love these foods--I still cant take it upon myself to eat a fried twinkie-or PB&J sandwich.

I have another "Fried" food idea: How about fried suger? :lol: :lol:

Also, I remembered something that was advertised on one of the shows on the Food Network. There is some restaurant owner who is located in the Pacific Northwest who sells I think it was? Banana Splits with strips of bacon on top of it. I do remember that he was located in either: Spokane, Washington or Portland, Oregon.

I love Chocolate and I love Bacon-but together---I think I would pass.

Oh and I just remembered, there were a few other concoctions making their fist years appearance at the Texas State Fair this year--there were: Friedd Sour Cream, fried various-flavored Sour Cream, and Fried Chocolate-smotherered Fish on a stick. Yukkk.

 

I've had fried ice cream and i will vouch that it is surprisingly good.. with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
mmmmm.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that in the south if it can be deep fat fried, it will be. Some of those just sound weird though, so I agree. Deep Fried butter? Good grief, some I might try just to see how in the world the deed was done! Of course baked Alaska also fascinated me until my Mom made one. Great stuff, never did it myself (I don't care for deserts really), but I know how it works.

 

You've never had.....french fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, fried fish, cheese sticks, fried shrimp, etc. etc. etc. I refuse to believe you've passed on those heavenly creations and ate a frickin fried oreo? FAIL!> Fried butter? Ew. You can fry anything. But fried COKE? Explain that to me. And I shall embrace it.

 

Goes with my theory that you can put bacon with anything and sell it. Bubonic plague would have killed all of europe if you'd have offered it wrapped in bacon.

 

woah now, I suppose I should have re-phrased that...
what I ment was, of that particular deep fried fair food list, i had only had the oreos..
dear lord i love french fries,chicken cheese and all that artery clogging goodness...

 

What I really can't stand, is when they take something that's healther or relatively healthy to eat, and then they batter it and fry it. Excluded of course are Chicken Fried Steaks and Fried Chicken

I found another Deep Fried thing mentioned: Deep fried Peaches. I love Peaches but, I AINT going to eat one that is battered and deep fried. Same goes for Apples, Grapes, Cranberries, Raisens etc.

 

About the only "State Fair" type food that I really liked enough to make at home were the things called a "Viking on a stick" that the Sons of Norway sell at nearly every fair in Montana.

They are really just a meatball on a popsicle stick dipped in pancake batter and deep fried. The meatball mix is tasty though, it is one pound of lean hamburger to a half pound each of ground pork (not sausage), and ground veal. They are really good.

 

Hi Clint, they do sound tasty and I wouldn't mind trying that. For a moment there-when you mentioned the Sons of Norway-I almost thought you were going to say that they had Lutefisk on a stick. Lutefisk stinks to high Heavens and I heard tastes as bad as it smells. I've never had any and I never will.

I'll stick to the more traditional: Corndog and candy apples ;-)) I haven't tried Fried Turkey Legs yet.

 

oi... Less of the insults yank.. Ill have you know we dont need our bubonic plague watering down.. Ill have mine with a little salt.. Hold the bacon and definately hold the mayo or hand cream as its known here.
