meggie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why am I not surprised? We were having bacon yesterday for the first time in FOREVER and I jokingly told DH that we should deep fry it (yeah right, I don't deep fry ANYTHING). And DH reminded me of an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives where they deep fried bacon and used that between two grilled cheese sandwiches. :confused: I told him we all might as just start drinking oil by the bucket load.

mom2denj Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I heard that they were serving those at the Jacksonville fair. It has been kind of a jolke on facebook around here. It actually does sound like it would be good, but it is definitely a heart attack waiting to happen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcjlkplus3 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I can't help but wonder... Wouldn't the butter melt when you deep fried it? I've also heard of deep fried kool-aid, but don't understand how that would work either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think they've been serving those at the Texas Fair along with deep fried Twinkies and deep fried beer. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflymommy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If the butter is binding to the batter, it's essentially fried dough, right? I.e. a doughnut in different form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbkaren Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I can't help but wonder...Wouldn't the butter melt when you deep fried it? I've also heard of deep fried kool-aid, but don't understand how that would work either... If you read the article, it melts and a crispy hollow batter shell is left behind, with some melted butter left inside which you pour onto the plate for dipping... I think it sounds fabulous. If everything could be deep-fried IN butter, I'd be a happy camper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 IIRC, the way they do it at the Texas state fair is to batter it, freeze it, then fry it. It's supposed to be like a super-buttery pastry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds fabulous. If everything could be deep-fried IN butter, I'd be a happy camper! I agree. I read the article. It sounds pretty dang good. Like a yummy just-out-of-the-fryer donut.

Ellyndria Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I can't help but wonder...Wouldn't the butter melt when you deep fried it? I've also heard of deep fried kool-aid, but don't understand how that would work either... The article says something about how the butter melts and then it ends up tasting like really buttery pancakes. As far as the deep fried kool-aid, DH had to try it this year at the fair. He made me try it. It wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was anything special either. They gave us several pieces...they were ball shaped, maybe about twice the size of donut holes. They *were* a little like donuts, but not as sweet. In the middle, it was just slightly doughy and pink colored. I didn't think they were very sweet, and I didn't think it tasted like kool-aid either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 My husband reported a few weeks ago that someone at work saw this at a fair. Just thinking about it makes me feel kind of queasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbkaren Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think they should just give it a new name; it's not like you're biting into a stick of butter! Deep fried pickles sounded gross too...but I'm here to tell you - they're great! (If you like pickles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 They have served that at the Oklahoma State Fair for years, it is something we might try as a special fair treat. What grosses me out is the chocolate dipped bacon.... They fry EVERYTHING at our fair! All this talk of the fair has me craving an Indian Taco....

AuntieM Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm thinkin ya gotta draw the line somewhere.... At least a fried snickers bar has CHOCOLATE and a faint claim to protein. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Eeek! Is there a requirement to have an EMT standing by when someone eats that? Although, I'll admit I bet it tastes good. When I was a little girl, I used to eat spoonfuls of butter sprinkled with sugar. Boy, those days are sure long gone! A funny thing though. I was just telling DH that when I was getting my prescription at Kaiser a little while ago, I was watching part of a Paula Deen show. All that butter! Oh, but that food looked so, so good!
