My first reaction to this headline was “Aren’t french fries already deep fried?” I guess that’s no barrier to deep-frying them again. In this recipe, the poutine (french fries, cheese curds, and gravy) are stuffed in an eggroll wrap and then deep fried.
The deep fried poutine turned out really well and tasted great, but it was a little dry due to the lack of much filling. Now that I think about it though, I’m sure that dipping them in gravy before each bite could easily solve that problem. Either way, if I made it again I’d definitely try to pack some more fries, cheese curds and gravy into the egg roll wrappers. Your move Canada!

A recipe for Deep-fried Bubblegum won the 2011 State Fair of Texas Seventh Annual Big Tex Choice Awards. But it’s not really bubblegum -because that wouldn’t be food.
Well, to be fair, it’s just called deep-fried bubblegum, it’s really “a marshmallow dipped with bubble gum extract then dipped in pink bubble gum flavored batter and lightly fried”. According to a KDFW News video out of Dallas-Fort Worth, chef Justin Martinez concocted the treat from an employee’s suggestion and spent two months perfecting it. He explains that the marshmallow gives the consistency of chewing fried bubblegum.
You’d have to be an extreme bubblegum fan to even try this. Link
There’s always a new fried item at the Iowa State Fair, and every year it gets crazier. Fried Twinkies and Oreos are passé by now, so vendors at the fair have skipped a step in the process and are just frying straight up sticks of butter. The butter obviously melts in the batter when it’s fried, so it’s not like you’re actually sinking your teeth into a stick of lard. One taste-tester likens it to a cinnamon roll, but I still think I’ll be passing this one by. Check out the link below to see what happens when you bite into it…
Once you’ve tried every kind of food imaginable deep-fried or on a stick, what’s new for the county and state fairs this year? Deep-Fried Kool-Aid, of course! Creator “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian isn’t sharing the exact recipe, but it involves flour and Kool-Aid powder. And a deep-fryer. And possibly sugar.
Chicken Charlie’s is a staple of fried rations at fairs across the country. It sold 400 to 600 orders of deep-fried Kool-Aid per day the first weekend of the San Diego County Fair. That’s about double the rate of previous debut items, Boghosian said.
“That’s because it tastes so darn good,” Boghosian said of the Kool-Aid.

The same genius who invented deep fried cookie dough, deep fried coke and other innovative fair foods is at it again. This time, Abel Gonzales Jr., is bringing you the ultimate in artery clogging death foods -deep fried butter. This one actually manages to put chicken fried bacon and bacon sandwiches using chicken for bread to shame.
So here’s what Gonzales does: He takes 100 percent pure butter, whips it until it is light and fluffy, freezes it, then surrounds it with dough. The butter-laden dough balls are then dropped into the deep fryer.For purists who just want the unadulterated taste of butter, Gonzales serves up plain-butter versions of his creation. For others who want a little more pizzazz, he offers three additional versions with flavored butters: garlic, grape or cherry.
Tasters seemed to like it, claiming it tastes like a hot roll with butter.
