Texas State Fair Fried Balls of Fried on A Stick

We laughed so hard this morning at the breakfast table. I was reading an article about the new foods for the Fair this year in Dallas Morning News. The vendors will offer such items as a fried grilled cheese sandwich, fried banana split, chocolate covered strawberry waffle balls ON A STICK and my favorite: "Fire and Ice".
Here is an excerpt from the article:

"Mr. Gonzales' deep-fried pineapple – the "fire" – is topped with banana-flavored whipped cream that's been frozen in liquid nitrogen – the "ice." The concoction is then covered with syrupy strawberries and served in a waffle cone.

It's safe to eat, and Mr. Gonzales said kids will enjoy a fun side effect: After placing the frozen whipped cream in your mouth, you can blow smoke out of your nose and mouth when you exhale.

It's half tasty treat, half science experiment."

We thought that was the craziest "food" we have every heard of...Glad to hear it is "safe for the kids". Go to the Metro section from 8/28/08 and read all about the fried balls of fried waffle batter covered in sugar and syrup on a stick!!!

I hope everybody who eats these foods also has long term care insurance...they will need it!

We can't wait for the Fair!
