> [@Olentzero](#): > > _Soul_ brotha! Pure beef hot dogs were kinda gross, but the meatblend ones were a great snack. Some of them-- you can tell from the smell that wafts up when you open the pack-- are just baloney in a different shape. There are 2 or 3 brands like that; Ball Park is one of them IIRC. ---

> [@Gus\_Gusterson](#): > > My younger sister and I both enjoyed eating butter when we were kids. We would literally take big bites from a stick of butter. Pissed our mother off to no end. We also ate hot dogs straight from the package. I used to babysit a kid on and off from the time he was about 5 til he was about 8, and one of my main priorities was making sure he didn’t get into the butter, because he WOULD eat it. Straight from the package. ---

Actually sounds good and inspirational to me, it needn’t necessarily be unhealthy nor indelicate. A couple of breaded and deep fried lemon and dill compound butter capsules would be great to serve with a broiled whitefish, maybe catfish. A novel take on Catfish and Hushpuppies, except that upon cutting into the “huspuppies” they sauce the fish. ---

Further on down there is just the mention of this one: “Fernie’s Deep Fried Peaches & Cream: Served with a side of vanilla buttercream icing for dipping.” It is just a little after 3:00 in the morning here in Nashville. That one sent me pounding on the wall. I gotta go suck on a frozen Sarah Lee. It’s all that’s left. ---

So, are there any Dopers in Dallas who can take one for the team, sample one of these things and report back on it? I’m genuninely curious what they’re like. ---

I cant believe a guy gets national news coverage for wrapping butter in dough and deep frying it. I can’t believe he got _local_ news coverage for it. ---

It’s worth noting that a Fried Coke is not make with Coca-Cola. It is made with _pure Coca-Cola syrup_, creating a much more ridiculous experience. ---

I tried fried Oreos at our last Celtic Fest. I suppose they would have been good if they hadn’t been fried in the same grease as the fried pickles. I will never try anything like that ever again. ---

I will never try anything like that ever again. Yeah, it seems cooks in this country are regressing backwards in their fryer knowledge. When I was a cook in my teens we fried things with strong tastes in different fryers. Now on the rare occasions I bother to order anything fried anymore, it justs tastes like fish. Fish-flavored ANYTHING (except fish) is gag-inducing. ---

> [@Gus\_Gusterson](#): > > My younger sister and I both enjoyed eating butter when we were kids. We would literally take big bites from a stick of butter. Pissed our mother off to no end. Hah; my brother as a kid would scoop out butter with his finger to eat, and was too young to realize that having a deep, finger wide gouge on top of the stick of butter told Mom what he’d done. ---

And if I die, I expect you guys to get me a plaque with some sort of pithy saying on it too. We salute you, and eagerly await your comments (and photo?). You have to admit though, what a great story to tell your co-workers. “Yeah - I have to drive to Dallas to eat some deep fried butter, so I can submit a report to curious Dopers.” Besides, don’t they have some excellent hospitals and cardiologists in the Dallas area? You should be fine… ---

I’ll be there for OU/TX weekend and intend to try several of these fried creations including the butter. I’ll let y’all know too! I think it was last year we had deep fried grilled cheese with tomato soupish dipping sauce. Yum! ---
