- Fried Nutter Butters = yes! Fried Butter = EEK!
I’m a State Fair fanatic and all the gay gym gods can be damned because I’m looking forward to my corn dog days and Belgian waffle nights. Although I stick with my usual Fair food treats, I’ll attempt to try the up and comers destined for fried culinary greatness. I do, however, firmly regret tasting Fried Coke.
Now we have a slew of newbies vying for the best fried food for this year’s Fair and I swear my blood pressure just went up reading about them. A press release is floating around somewhere but I found out about the finalists on the Fair’s Twitter feed. Who knew Big Tex tweeted? Judges will decide Monday which makes the cut. And the finalists, as read on Twitter, are:
Fried Peanut Butter Macaroon p.butter cup wrapped n coconut macaroon fried & dusted w powdered sugar! Avail w scoop of Blue Bell.
Sweet Jalapeno Corn Dog: Shrimp Shrimp on stick coated w/ sweet & spicy batter, deep fried golden brown & served w/ spicy glaze!
Cntry Fried Pork Chips: Thin pork loin is seasoned, dipped in corn meal batter & deep fried. Served w/ sides of ketchup or gravy
Fried Pecan Pie: Mini-pecan pie battered & deep fried golden. Drizzled w/ rich caramel sauce & topped w/ cream & chopped pecans (Ed. note: “Mommy!”)
Fernie’s D. Fried Peaches&Cream– Pchs coated n special batter, fried. w/ raspberry sauce & sprinkled w streusel topping & cream!
Twisted Yam on a Stick A spiral-cut yam on a stick is fried to crispy texture & gently rolled in butter & dusted w cinn&sugar!
Deep Fried Butter– Pure butter is whipped lite & sweetened w choice o flavors! Placed in special dough & quick fried. On Stick!
Green Goblins– Cherry peppers packed w/ spicy shredded chkn & guac, then battered & deep fried. 3 to a skewer & topped w/ queso!
Peanut butter and pecan pies are never a mistake so I’m crossing my fingers for either of those two but the Green Goblins have my interest. My question is for the fried butter peeps. Um, yuk? And will anyone help me with my idea of fried pizza? Delish, right? Think about it…think about it. Yeah. It would so win.
Twisted Yam on a Stick was my nickname in grade school. Don’t be messin’ with these sweet tattas
yeah, the fried coke was a serious disappointment. so, when are we on for fair food tasting?
Dear sweet mother of fried gods thou has forsaken my blood pressure!!! wow, “fried butter” – what’s next on the experimental buffet-de’-cardiac arrest…grease slaw? Well…Im down, but there better be a truth or dare option!
forget the fried coke, where’s the fried crack rock? No stick needed!
my blood pressure and heart rate just doubled from looking at this photo.
have you no compassion for your elders?
jack i’d sue the voice if i were you, especially that lopez guy!
there is fried pizza all over here in philly. we call them inside-outs or ISOP’s. Take a regular size pizza dough ball and cut it into three triangles. it is very important NOT to put any flour on the dough triangle. stretch the triangle out into a very thin slice, no holes please. put a small handfull of cheese and a small scoop of sauce in the center. Fold. use your fingers to FIRMLY press the outter edges together, and really, i mean firmly. cut off excess dough (around the edge fo the press) place in deep frier for a few mins. Wha-La, deep fried pizza.
Ive eaten wayyyy to many of these in my day.
