Re: State Fair new food--fried butter
I agree with eeewwww... I heard about it on the news yesterday morning and I wanted to barf. ?Chances are - if we go to the State Fair this year - FI will go get it and I will have a bite. ?Just to say I tried it...
But eeewwwww........?
My initial reaction is ewwwwww. They must be running out of ideas for things to fry.
Is it just a plain ol' stick of butter? Do they add any flavor or seasoning to it? I feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it.
I heard they are going to be seasoned with like garlic, herbs, etc. I also heard that it may be a mixture of butter and cream cheese. Not sure, though.
I actually saw Paula Deen fry butter on an episode of Paula's Party, so I'm sure that's where the idea came from. But, Paula did is as sort of a joke--'cause she'll fry anything and she loves butter!
Looks like these will be the 8 finalists for this years competition. Go early since they don't usually change the grease out during the Fair!
Green Goblins ? Cherry peppers are hollowed out, stuffed with spicy shredded chicken and guacamole, then battered and deep fried. Served three to a skewer and topped with queso.
Deep Fried Butter ? 100% pure butter is whipped till light and fluffy, then specially sweetened with a choice of several flavors. The tantalizing mixture is surrounded by a special dough and quick fried. Served on a stick.
Twisted Yam on a Stick ? A delicious, towering, spiral-cut sweet potato on a 13? skewer is fried to a delicate crispy texture, then gently rolled in butter and dusted with cinnamon and sugar.
Fernie?s Deep Fried Peaches & Cream ? Sweet juicy peaches are coated in a delicious batter of cinnamon, ginger, coconut, graham cracker crumbs, eggs & milk, then deep fried to a crunchy golden brown on the outside, while luscious and sweet on the inside. Served on a plate drizzled with raspberry sauce and sprinkled with streusel topping & a dollop of whipped cream. A side of vanilla butter cream icing is provided for dipping.
Texas Fried Pecan Pie ? A mini-pecan pie is battered and deep fried to a golden brown. Served drizzled with rich caramel sauce, then topped with whipping cream and chopped candied pecans.
Country Fried Pork Chips ? Thin sliced pork loin is seasoned, surrounded by a tasty corn meal batter and deep fried. Served with sides of ketchup or cream gravy.
Sweet Jalapeno Corn Dog Shrimp ? Shrimp on a stick is coated with a sweet and spicy corn meal batter, then deep fried to a golden brown and served with a spicy glaze.
Fried Peanut Butter Cup Macaroon ? A peanut butter cup is wrapped inside a coconut macaroon fried and dusted with powdered sugar. Also available with a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream.
Twisted Yam and Green Goblin =
Fried butter =
Honestly, none of the entries really intrigue me this year. I'm gonna have to go with an Eww for the fried butter. The green goblin sounds good, but avocado doesn't agree w/my system, so I have to avoid it.
