There are fried Twinkies and even fried candy bars.
Now, vendor Abel Gonzales Jr. has come up with a new artery-clogging concoction for the State Fair of Texas. It's Fried Coke.
Gonzales deep-fries Coca-Cola flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The Fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the Fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud.
Gonzales' diet-buster wins the creativity honor at Big Tex Choice Awards.
Judges for the second annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest chose Shirley London's Fried Praline Perfection as the tastiest fried delicacy.
The two won out among 26 entries such as fried macaroni and cheese and a deep-fried cosmopolitan.
London said she came up with the fried pralines idea after buying pralines at the fair last year. She plans to sell the pralines alongside fried marshmallows.
The fair begins Sept. 29.

Have you ever noticed how mac & cheese coagulates in the fridge? I bet they take a hunk of chilled m & c, batter it, and fry it. American ingenuity at its most delicious!

The fried stuff has been gettiing a lot of attention at the Texas State Fair the past few years so now it's gotten to the point that idiots will try to fry up anything.
