Fried Coke a big hit at US state fairs.. Cause the Hillbillies ain't Fat enough

[MJMANDALAY]

CHICAGO (AFP) - Fried Coke has become the latest artery-clogging hit at US state fairs, local media reports.

The gooey Coke-battered nuggets topped with cola syrup won the "most creative" title at the Texas state fair in Dallas last month. Since then, the deep-fried phenomenon has spread to North Carolina and Arizona.

"We've been getting calls from everywhere since we introduced it," Elizabeth Martin, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina fair, told the Dallas Morning News. "Everyone wants to know where they can get it."

Fried treats are as big of a draw at state fairs as the rides and prize-winning farm animals. Twinkies, cookies and even pickles are stuck with a stick, dipped in batter and then seared in the deep fryer.

Fried Coke's inventor, concessionaire Abel Gonzales Jr., is a creative fryer whose experiments have proven popular. Last year he sold 20,000 fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches, the Morning News reported. Fried Coke looks to be an even bigger hit: he sold 16,000 cups of the sticky balls in the first two weeks of the fair, which runs through Oct. 22.

Gonzales has also had more success with changing his recipe than Coca Cola did. He reworked the recipe to make the dough less cakey and more spongy so it would soak up more of the cola syrup.

You'd think that would kind of be defeating the whole point of asparagus.

Deep fried snickers bars are fucking GOOD. I'm worse than Opie with the fag food so I won't eat them anymore.

The coke sounds over the top though.

I had deep fried Oreos for the first time a month ago at the feast of St Genarro in Little Italy. I honestly thought I was going to sink into a diabetic coma afterwards. Those are the sort of things reserved for eating only once a year.

I still think Fried Twinkies and Fried Ice Cream are worse. But why break any new ground in this area of cuisine?

[Lil'GlubGlub]

when you thinl about it, fried coke is the same principle as beer battering. the carbonation creates an airy batter, and the sugar browns the dough.

the coke syrup is a little over the top though.

some restaurants actually use soda in their sauces and desserts. Cracker Barrel used to have a chocolate coke cake.

In Wisconsin they serve (and I am not making this up)

deepfried heavy whipping cream.
