State Fair

[malakim]

A co-worker was just telling me that she and her family are planning a trip to the state fair, and she was telling me a few of the highlighted foods on the state fair website. Right up at the top

Oh man. Chicken fried bacon. It's a wonderful world we live in. *_*

[malakim]

I know! This is America! We can batter and fry anything!

[ladybrick]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant *_*

[malakim]

Ditto! I think I'm going to try to talk a friend's wife into trying to make it happen.. :)

This is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

*just falls over laughing*

Yes.

I can't take credit for that one. :) Original poster would be one Benjamin Franklin, Esq.

And he said it referring to beer, not chicken fried bacon. c_c

[liralen]

But you've used it sooooo appropriately. I had to applaud.

Ow! My stomach is rebelling at the thought. ;_;

[malakim]

How about the deep fried Pop Rocks or jellybeans then?

[johnevans]

What?

...Well, at least it's not a fat overload. Still...not sure I can see it. Jelly beans already have a sort of coating on them already, right? And I've never actually had Pop Rocks...:P

When I was in Olkahoma I tried some fried pickles at J.R.'s Barbecue. I...didn't really like them, but I didn't hate them either. I could see how some people could like them. Maybe if they had used slightly different pickles that I liked better.

ardweden told me how Chicago has a famous cheesecake place and New York City has a place that will deep-fry (I think) anything you bring in. So when she visited NYC she took along a cheesecake and had it deep-fried...the deep-frying people were quite enthusiastic, and apparently it turned out really well. ;)

...

You've never had Pop Rocks? I don't know if we can be friends any more. :D

I've only had fried pickles a handful of times, and I've found them to be okay. Not something I'd want to eat every day, but good enough.

And yes. Deep-frying improves everything. Everything.
