I’m not sure beer should ever ooze. Although if I ever have major surgery I think the doctor may describe something similar in my medical charts. But this post isn’t about that. Instead it is about the new ‘fair’ food out of Texas. Fried Beer. Yep. Fried Beer. If you can’t imagine it (and I can’t), think something that looks like a fried ravioli, tastes like a pretzel, and has a liquid beer center. The beer thingy is fried just enough to get some crispiness but not enough to burn off the alcohol. I wonder if they will card people who want to eat this thing. The State Fair of Texas has included Fried Beer on its list of finalists for the 2010 Big Tex Choice Award.
In case you wondering what the fried beer entry is up against, here are the other finalists:
Deep Fried S’mores Pop•Tart®
Fried Beer™
Fried Chocolate
Deep Fried Frozen Margarita
Fried Lemonade
Fernie’s Fried Club Salad
Fried Texas Caviar (black-eyed peas)
Texas Fried Frito® Pie
The entries will be judged on September 6th by members of the media.
Anyone that eats/drinks 12 of the fried beers gets a t-shirt that reads I Got Fried in Texas
Ok, I just made that t-shirt thing up so don’t complain to the fair folks when you don’t get your shirt.
