DALLAS — It’s practically fattening just thinking about it.

Deep fried butter is among eight creative food items by vendors at this year’s State Fair of Texas in Dallas.

Fair officials say a Labor Day cookoff will determine the winner of the Big Tex Choice Awards.

The State Fair of Texas runs Sept. 25 through Oct. 18.

The eight creative food items by vendors at this year’s State Fair of Texas in Dallas:

* Deep fried butter

* Green goblins

* Twisted yam on a stick

* Deep fried peaches and cream

* Fried pecan pie

* Country fried pork chops

* Sweet jalapeno corn dog shrimp

* Fried peanut butter cup macaroon

Recipes, please.

[Kenton]

Wow. This just kind of makes me feel deliciously dirty all over.

I've missed that...

[marron]

* Sweet jalapeno corn dog shrimp

Mmmmm...

[Allegra]

Deep fried butter?

That's a new one. It probably tastes heavenly and packs zillions of calories.

I had chicken-fried bacon last time I was home. Now THAT was delicious.

[dfwgator]

My arteries hardened just reading this.

[Mount Athos]

The deep fried butter is good but it's better between two sliced donut halves.

[TheBattman]

Huckabee mentioned this on one of his radio spots yesterday. Said they take butter that is whipped, add in your choice of sweet flavor, battery it, and deep fry it.

Huckabee’s comment - they probably just open an incision in your chest and insert it directly in your aorta...

[bushwon]

Somehow I don’t think these will get thru the new food czar :(

[nomad]

Try Habaneros and you`ve really got something.

[Madistan]

Deep fried butter?
Do you have to eat it, or do they give you a spatula so you can bypass the intestinal system, and just paste it right on your stomach?

The Wisconsin State Fair this year had chocolate covered bacon...

[Fiddlstix]

What? No deep fried ice cream?

[Sudetenland]

Fried pecan pie hardens my arteries enough...sounds wonderful.

[hsalaw]

They all sound yummy. Where can we get the receipes? Probably from Paula Deen.

[Graybeard58]

In my refrigerator is my personal stick of butter, real butter, when I eat toast, I take a bite of the toast and then a small bite of butter right off the stick, I do it with corn on the cob too.

(But never in the presence of civilized folks.)

My heart just cringed.

[Trod Upon]

Might as well get IV lard.

An earlier post stated, regarding Deep Fried Butter:

It is whipped, flavored (optional), frozen.

Then, covered with a dough and deep fried.

[Sounds like a deep-fried biscuit with a chunk of frozen butter inside.]

[RichInOC]

Deep fried butter.

That is all kinds of wrong...in a good way.

[Doogle]

Sweet jalapeno corn dog shrimp

..talk about "waking up" your intestinal track...watch out for the 3am EXPRESS...ya know the one, where you trip over the cat while looking like Wile E Coyote trying to stop the inevitable

[Tax-chick]

“Fried” seems to be a keyword. I guess it’s an obvious way to cook under the circumstances, but ... *shudder*.

[rvoitier]

Twisted yams on a stick sound goood.

Notice the deep-fried bag.

[bamahead]

It still can't possibly touch the Bacon & Cheese roll:

[ansel12]

The Wisconsin State Fair this year had chocolate covered bacon...

As you know deep fried cheese curds are served in restaurants there.

[jla]

Who eats this $hit??!! These people have to be insane.

[WKUHilltopper]

“* Deep fried butter”

Guaranteed to place you on the death panel visit list after the first bite.

[ansel12]

Most of us love that kind of food.

[Kitanis]

How about Country Fried Bacon like they have in a small steak house North of Houston.

[LucyJo]

Hadn’t heard of chicken-fried bacon, but it reminded me of my daddy. He loved chicken-fried salt pork slices once in a while.

[okie01]

God bless Texas.

And its State Fair.

And the creative cuisine it engenders.

[birddog]

Oh my - that looks good......

[jla]

Most of us love that kind of food.

It's your health, and appearance. Knock yourselves out.

[Mjaye]

LOL, I thought of Paula immediately when I read the headline. She does love her butter!

[Atlas Sneezed]

No habanero sprinkles? ;-)

[SaraJohnson]

That was a funny prayer, prayed like a Texan. :-)

[austinaero]

I think my arteries just got hardened....

[duckman]

Looks like a cross section of a deep fried artery.

[Graybeard58]

No habanero sprinkles? ;-)

I use a little of that on my scrambled eggs.

Do you still have a supply? If not FReepmail me your address (I lost it) and I'll send you some more.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

I’ll go for the deep fried peaches & cream sure sounds yummalicious then I drop dead from a heart attack~~~~from deep frying? naaahh........the cream

[reagan_fanatic]

they take butter that is whipped, add in your choice of sweet flavor, battery it, and deep fry it

What type of battery do they use - alkaline or ni-cad?

[JoeProBono]

[quikdrw]

Mine, too.

[Ditter]

Are you that guy at the hunting lodge in Mexico who walked around with a stick of butter eating it like it was a banana? I thought so! ;9)

[mikey_hates_everything]

I hope we can eat in Heaven because that will be one of the first things I try. That chocolate-covered bacon someone else mentioned might be the second thing.

[McLynnan]

It’s a Texas thing, you have to go to the State Fair to understand. Big traditions: Big Tex, the Midway, and the sound of deep fryers at work around every corner. I am going for the sweet jalapeno corn fried shrimp and am going to have two desserts — fried pecan pie and deep fried peaches and cream. Then I’ll diet for two weeks.

[nomad]

Ever tried Habanero poppers? They`re small by nature but a bona fide pepperhead`s delight, damn, they`re good.

[Desparado]

we were in Alabama 2 weeks ago on that Hwy 127 yard sale, and a lady was selling deep fried hostess twinkies! They were dipped in a donut like batter and fried in hot fryer like french fries. She couldn’t cook them fast enough for the line of people.

[Graybeard58]

Ever tried Habanero poppers?

I grow the peppers and dehydrate and grind them into flakes, they keep forever as long as they stay dry. I've got about a gallon on hand now.

I mailed some to "Beelzebubba" and others a couple of years ago.

In your reply you wrote "poppers". Is that a misspelling or is it something you make with the peppers. Not trying to correct your spelling, I'm bad at it myself.

If you'd like to try the flakes, I can send you some, the price is right, they are free, I even pay the mailing cost.
