Fried coke anyone?

NEW YORK, Oct 26 (Reuters Life!) - A new fast food is making its debut at U.S. fairs this fall -- fried Coke.

Abel Gonzales, 36, a computer analyst from Dallas, tried about 15 different varieties before coming up with his perfect recipe -- a batter mix made with Coca-Cola syrup, a drizzle of strawberry syrup, and some strawberries.

Balls of the batter are then deep-fried, ending up like ping-pong ball sized doughnuts which are then served in a cup, topped with Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry on the top.

"It tastes great," said Sue Gooding, a spokeswoman for the State Fair of Texas where Gonzales' fried Coke made its debut this fall. "It was a huge success."

In Dunedin as a student we used to eat "Deep-fried Fresh Milk", which was like a frozen lump of condensed milk in batter, fried. INcredibly sweet, amazingly fatty, awesome at 3am.

i'm quite partial to a fried mars bar. But I think I woud buy it once, just to try it. I mean I have tried pigeon soup, chickens feet, sea cucumber, cows tounge, chcken livers etc I think this would be quite good compared to the other things people will eat.

And I thought that deep fried Mars Bars were awful! How about' The King's specialty - Deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

You know what I miss most from Texas? Chili cook-offs. Basically the same thing as that Simpson's episode (without the insanity peppers bit)

This fried coke thing... this would take some talking into for me to try it. I don't particularly like strawberries.
