UNUSUAL DEEP FRIED FOODS

DEEP FRIED BUTTER

First served at the 2009 Texas State Fair, deep fried butter

(a deep fried coronary attack!) was invented by Abel Gonzales, Jr.,

DEEP FRIED GUINEA PIG

A traditional Peruvian dish, deep fried guinea pig isn’t a dish

most people would want to dig into.

DEEP FRIED STRAWBERRIES

To negate all the goodness you get from eating them, try your

strawberries deep-fried next time.

DEEP FRIED COCKROACHES

The gross little bugs may be able to survive a nuclear holocaust,

but cockroaches can’t escape the deep fryer.

DEEP FRIED COKE

First appearing at the 2006 Texas State Fair, deep fried Coca-Cola

was also created by Abel Gonzales, Jr. and has been copied at

numerous other fairs around the country. (It’s not pure liquid that’s

fried but rather a batter heavily infused with Coca-Cola.)

DEEP FRIED GRASSHOPPERS

When we eat deep fried foods, we prefer them to come without legs.

KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN'S DOUBLE DOWN

This deep fried food is available to gross you out and give you a heart

attack all at the same time. KFC’s Double Down is heaping amounts of

bacon and cheese in-between two fried chicken patties.

DEEP FRIED PORK INTESTINES

Fried pork chunks is a delicious meal popular throughout Latin America.

But that’s the pork meat. Deep fried pork intestines? We’d rather pass.

DEEP FRIED FISH WITH SPICY MANGO SALAD

Drawing on a long Thai tradition of fried fish in meals, some cooks

deep fry an entire fish – head and all – and serve it up with a

nice mango salad.
