Could I just add that deep-fried "alternative" foods have been around in Scotland for many years. Including, I am told, a deep-friend Mars Bar wrapped in fatty meats and dipped in batter. The shop owner limits his customers to one a week in the interests of health and safety. How thoughtful. Scotland, by the way, has among the highest heart disease rates in the developed world. I wonder why? |

Gonzales deep-fries Coca-Cola-flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud. Judges for the contest chose Shirley London's Fried Praline Perfection as the tastiest fried delicacy. The two won out among 26 entries such as fried macaroni and cheese and a deep-fried cosmopolitan.
Either the judges are huge... or cardiologists. Gonzales achieved notoriety in 2005 with the fried peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich -- selling an estimated 25,000 of the treats, according to the fair's Web site.
Next year's entry: Fried high fructose corn syrup... no, that was this year. |
