Yeah, I couldn't find a chat thread to post this in, but I felt my story needed to be told. I was at the Texas State Fair today (spent a grand to watch my horns get their ass spanked) and I was looking for the most bizarre food possible to drown my sorrow in. I thought I had found it when I tried the Chicken Fried Bacon (which was pretty good), when I floored by the FRIED BUTTER stand.
Let that sink in for a second - FRIED. BUTTER.
What it is, is basically a stick of sweet butter (ever been to ryan's? That chain of hyper-obesity buffets? Think the butter used for their rolls), they cut the butter into 4 small squares. Then they batter it with sweet waffle batter, deep fry it, cover it in honey, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it, and top it with powered sugar.
It was DELICIOUS, I won't lie. I wolfed that shit down, and it was damn good. BUT, within seconds of eating it, and I'm not exaggerating at all, I felt extremely sick. Like, I probably could have shit out blood right there at the fair. It was as though my body was saying to me "dude, what the fuck did you just do? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?" and was punishing me. My father, who came to the game with me, also tried it, and had the exact same experience (delicious! Oh shit... gross...) so I think it's supposed to do that. It's a feature or something.
So yeah. Fried butter. Never ever eat it. Ever. But it's delicious. I just needed to share this story because, frankly, I'm still kinda shocked that FRIED BUTTER can exist.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention - I washed that fried butter down... with fried lemonade. It was the grossest shit I'd eaten/drank since I tried fried beer last year.

You're surprised that eating fried butter made you sick?
No, I pretty much expected it. Just... not instantly, you know? I guess I'm surprised at how fast it made me sick.
Smart.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
but somehow I feel like this isn't food
As anime president, eating fried butter is...
but I didn't because eating random shit that is fried is stupid
fried lemonade?
Yes, I saw that, but I came to the same conclusion. Butter is more of a condiment than a food. I ate deep fried condiment. Is there a condiment thread?
Suddenly I am ashamed. And yet, I just had an idea for the next great fair food - deep fried mustard.
Butter isn't something random. It is a very specific thing that is normally horrendous for you to eat an entire stick of.
Eating a stick of butter is the type of thing the stereotype in your brain does when they are fat and forever alone
the distinction between condiment and food was not the distinction I had in mind
Also, fried beer is the grossest shit ever.
It was basically the non-alcoholic fried beer. Think a hush puppy, with a liquid center. They actually card you if you buy the fried beer because you can get drunk off of it... but you'd probably have a heart attack before you got drunk.
This is in contrast to the fried coke, which is basically a funnel cake, only instead of water in the recipe for the batter, they use coke syrup.
lol
I am speaking of the trend of new ca-razy deep fried foods with butter being the most ca-raaaaaaaazy ooooooOOOOooo
You got what was coming to you.
The best-tasting, unusual snack food I've ever had was a box of home-made, chocolate-covered potato chips. It was a great salty/sweet mix and the milk chocolate was of exceedingly-high quality.
