There were a bunch of new fried foods at the fair this year, although I didn't actually eat any of them. I wanted to try to fried macaroni and cheese but never got around to it. Let me see if I can find my fair booklet, it has a rundown on the new stuff.
Oh, man, deep fried mac 'n' cheese is ridiculously delicious. Deeply dangerous to your health, no doubt, but one of the best late-night drinkin' foods ever. Especially when served with a side of ranch for dippin' purposes....
Well, I can't find the booklet anywhere but the info is online anyway. I don't remember the "choco-rito" being there but everything else was. How about the deep fried cosmopolitan - "A fried pastry filled with cheesecake and topped with a cranberry glaze and a lime wedge. Served on a stick." It's the stick that really makes it.
Me, I just had a couple corny dogs and some fries.
I had a friend once deep fry a bacon cheese burger. It was beef mixed with spicy Italian pork sausage and onions. Two patties with cheddar sandwiched between, and the edges wrapped in thick-cut pepper bacon. He breaded and fried it in his deep-fat fryer.
I didn't taste it, but ate part of one of the (unfried) burgers, which was pretty good.
Listen -- Coca-Cola is never bad in any form. Coke is a perfect concoction. Like many of my southern-flavored ilk, I have sampled Coke as the main flavoring ingredient for cake; in cake frosting; as ham and pork-chop glaze; blended with soy in dipping sauce; as a marinade for chicken; as candy; as Slurpee; and in traditional ice-cold drinking form. I expect this to be of the same consistently high taste quality.
