Alright, I guess I have to pull out the big guns. My heart hurts just looking at that picture.
It’s a 4 to 1 ratio of butter to cheese.
I gotta admit that’s a big gun. Hard to say if they were successful. The link to their website goes nowhere.
Probably not, especially once the fair season ended. They’ll fry anything, but whether or not it will be tasty is another story.
Gotta take out the comma!

I’m awed in admiration of your nick. I didn’t even realize you could do anything like that. :eek:
Thank you, D_odds.
I never imagined this post would get this far, kind of just figured that somebody would say, Yeah, we have it all the time
So, now I guess that’s irrefutable proof to the fact that it does in fact exist.
Shall we call it a day?
First off, big ups to** D_Odds** for the cite of the day winner. Secondly, we’re from from calling it a day. I hereby volunteer to eat one of these nasty bastards, should one in fact be able to be wrangled up. For science you understand…
Better you than me.
WAY better you than me…

That’s what bothered me about your original post. This strikes me as just another attempt at finding something that you can make fun of Americans about. This is not a common item in the U.S. It’s extremely rare, in fact. Even the most common of the deep-fried strange items, deep-fried Mars bars, is rather rare. It’s something that you might try once a year when you go to the state fair. And, as I’ve said twice now, this whole fad of deep frying odd things didn’t even originate in the U.S. It began in Scotland.
Really? That’s what you got from my post? I honestly did not have that in mind when posting the question. I consider myself americanized and love your country. Having said that, I’d be a liar if I said that there weren’t quirky things going on over there. The same is true for every country.
I figured that with the combined wealth of information on this board that somebody would have heard of it or (god help them) actually tried on of them.
But I certainly did not try to be superior in any way.
I would have posed the question exactly the same had it happened here in Sweden and I’d just heard about it.
indierock82, some people offend even though no offense is meant, and some people look hard to find offensive things that are not.
I didn’t find anything in your post making fun of “Americans”. Idiots who attempt to fry any- and everything, maybe, but when one is frying Twinkies, candy bars, and Coca Cola syrup, one deserves to have oneself pointed and laughed at.
After reading this thread yesterday, I ended up going to TGI Friday’s for drinks and dinner last night. Just so happens they have a few new items on the appitizer menu, including deep fried green beans and deep fried macaroni and cheese. I tried both, and they were delicious. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I have to go lie down and die…
Bloody hell, defensive much?
The Scots are responsible for the deep Mars bar AND the deep fried pizza slice (folded in half and battered). Though of course Elvis was chugging down deep fried banana sandwiches well before these abominations were invented. Deep fried butter seems positively civilized in comparison.
But you have to admit, though the Scots may have been the progenitors, your state fairs have taken the idea and run with it.
Now if only I can find someone to interest in my revolutionary “bread sandwich”: two slices of bread with a slice of bread in between them. Deep fried if you like.
Any deep fried pizza I’ve had has just been the half pizza straight into the oil, never seen one battered although I wouldn’t put it past anyone to do so.
I can fully believe the someone, somewhere, deep fries butter. Either as a challenge or because they’ve discovered a taste sensation. The thing is, once you’ve got the oil going and some left over batter you just start looking around for things to deep fry.
And is battered butter that far off buttered (fried) bread? Put a bit of garlic in there and you’ve got chicken-free chicken kiev …

Hey, I had that idea in 1989 when I was does the math five years old!
Now, I bet the real moneymaker will be my soon-to-be-marketed “Buttered butter.” It’s a stick of butter, with some butter spread on it. Serving suggestion is to have it with a small biscut or a portion of dinner roll.
As a Hoosier born and raised, I have to ask: Where in Indiana?
These weren’t actually deep-fried – fried in insane amounts of butter (actually margarine, I believe :eek: ), but there was no boiling oil involved.[/nitpick]
[nitpick]
Boiling oil is not involved in deep-frying. Vegetable oil boils past its smoking point. The best I could find is that soybean oil boils at about 575F.
Deep frying involves submerging a food in oil that has been heated to temperatures from about 350-425F.
[/nitpick]
Another illusion shattered.
