1. Horror for the circulatory system

and our sense of self esteem, although Deep Fried Peanut Butter Cup sounds kinda' interesting. :(

2. I'm gonna have to try the fried yam. I heard about the fried...

butter and that's ridiculous, but somebody had to do it.

Howcum they don't have my personal favorite-- tempura bacon?

4. I can't believe people are eating deep fried butter

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. some of those sound pretty good

Deep Fried Yam on a Stick, Deep Fried Pecan Pie, Deep Fried Pork Chips, Deep Fried Sweet Jalapeno Corn Dog Shrimp

I would give those a try.

5. but

deep fried butter? :shrug:

[yellowdogintexas]

7. I heard it is whipped and frozen, then dipped in batter and fried. Sort of like

fried ice cream just not as sweet? Still weird though.

I think I heard they do have tempura bacon though......

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. no. I simply have no desire to try deep fried butter.

I am not really sure I would try the deep fried pecan pie. I would try the pork chops, shrimp and yams. That is all, I think.

13. Yeah, the shrimp sounds good.

The butter, not so much.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. the butter just sounds stupid to me. overkill. but whatever...

different strokes for different folks.

6. it is amazing isn't it? no fried brain sandwiches though

which is a mainstay at the West Side Fall Festival in Evansville Indiana. Along with 465 little booths selling anything that can be fried.

11. Rocky Mountain Oysters are deep fried

and good!

[CreekDog]

8. Fried Oreos are (surprisingly) quite delicious

Fried Twinkies have a nasty aftertaste x(

:hi:

[pokerfan]

9. I will admit

that deep-fried turkey is pretty damned good.
