Fair Fried
It’s fair season, and the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem will run from Oct. 2. through Oct. 11 this year.
If you already are salivating at all the fattening food you can enjoy (?) at the fair, here’s some food for thought.
On Labor Day, judges at the Texas State Fair in Dallas declared deep-fried butter the most creative dish at the fair, according to a report by the Associated Press.
I thought people had deep-fried about everything, but they always manage to think of something else.
According to the AP, “Abel Gonzales kept his entry simple: 100 percent pure butter that is light and fluffy and sweetened with several flavors then surrounded in a special dough and deep fried.”
The flavors are sweet cream, cherry and garlic.
Gonzales also fries up Coke, peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches and cookie dough.
The overall best-tasting dish at the Texas State Fair was fried peaches and cream.
