This is a real thing in the real world: deep fried butter on a stick.
Sure, “fried butter” has been around for a while… but that’s a dollop of butter. This is an entire stick (yes, you read that right).
The political buzz this week at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines was nearly overshadowed by the sight of hungry reporters and fair-goers biting into crunchy sticks of fried dough — at $4 apiece — as liquefied butter oozed down their chins and fingers. Deep Fried Butter contains frozen butter that’s dipped into a sticky cinnamon-honey batter, submerged in bubbling oil until browned, then drizzled with a confectioner’s sugar glaze.
…Last month, food stands at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, Calif., where the 2011 theme was “Let’s Eat,” served up the “coronary combo,” pairing up sticks of deep-fried butter with chocolate-covered bacon. The $10.50 price rivaled some health plans’ co-payments for a visit to a cardiologist.
Thank goodness summer’s almost over. Unless they start serving up deep fried cow pies, fair food can’t go much lower than this.
