I had fried butter at the Texas State Fair one year. Just cold/frozen butter surrounded by batter, the butter melts during the frying process, so you get a self-buttering bite of fried dough. Sounds more exotic than it actually ends up.
When I was on a Disney cruise, we ate in their high-end adults-only restaurant Remy’s. The first course there was a fried tomato soup. One small little square of frozen tomato soup that gets battered and fried–tasted amazing.
Saw Lobster Corn Dogs at the Alameda County Fair today. I would’ve given them a try but I had just finished a regular corn dog and a tornado potato.
NC state fair has fried Coke and also fried candy bars such as snickers.
Yeah, and they served it with jam and some other sweet dipping sauces, so it really didn’t seem much different than small beignets without sugar, or some of the fancy donut hole desserts you can get almost everywhere now.
Yeah, it’s a goofy show off chef thing the French have.
The Chinese have fried milk, same kind of thing…baked Alaska for an appetizer mouth amusement.
I’ve seen street vendors selling “balut”. It’s basically a fertilized duck egg. Not sure it exists in US state fairs, though.
Scorpion peppers, or scorpions the insect?
