Really?! What's it like? I haven't had any of those fried.

SUPRMAN said:

Like heaven if it was rolled in batter and flash fried in hot grease.

The fried ice cream was fabulous as was the the fried twinkie. All of the deep fried sweets are actually good. I haven't come across anything that I didn't like.

SCNDLS said:

I've been too scared to try. I can't just put anything in my mouth .. . .

I saw one of those in the toilet at work the other day ...

That's not what I heard . . .

SCNDLS said:

I DEFINITELY recommend fried ice cream and chocolate bars! I breaded and fried a Snickers bar at home a few months ago and I thought I was gonna lose my mind!!

Twinkies scare me, though, for some reason. I can't mess with those straight outta the box, let alone battered and fried.

Lammastide said:

The twinkies were wonderfully crunchy an' creamy.

Fried Peaches & Cream takes Big Tex Choice Awards' taste prize


The fried food finalists' battered best have been devoured, and two of the eight tantalized the judges' palates the most.

Deep Fried Butter and its concocter, Abel Gonzales Jr., grabbed the prize for Most Creative at Monday's fifth annual Big Tex Choice Awards. For Gonzales, it was triumph No. 4 at the annual State Fair of Texas contest.

"I feel great," Gonzales said. "I was very nervous, more nervous than I was in past years. I don't know why. The competition keeps getting stronger. People are getting really creative."

In the Best Taste category, Fernie's Fried Peaches & Cream proved most scrumptious. Christi Erpillo, whose family owns The Dock restaurant in the Embarcadero Building at the fair, had entered the contest every year – but this was her first time to taste success.

The dish is named for her mother, Wanda Fern Winter, who was on hand to savor the moment.

"My dear husband calls me the Susan Lucci of the State Fair," Erpillo said, referring to the soap opera star who finally won a Daytime Emmy in her 19th try.

All eight of the finalists, as well as some of the other record 49 entries, will be available at this year's fair, which runs Sept. 25 through Oct. 18.

Two entries tasted victory Monday at the fifth annual Big Tex Choice Awards.

Oprah Winfrey show from State Fair of Texas
DALLAS — Oprah Winfrey is heading to the State Fair of Texas.

Winfrey plans to tape her talk show on Monday, Oct. 12, from the expo in Dallas.

Spokeswoman Angela De Paul had no information Friday on when the episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" would air or where it would be taped at the fairgrounds.

De Paul said the show "will highlight the Texas state fair" and "we're excited to be coming." She told The Associated Press that further details would be released later.

Winfrey on Friday was in New York City for her Chicago-based show's scheduled live broadcast from Central Park.

The State Fair of Texas, with amusement rides, football games at the Cotton Bowl and offbeat foods such as deep fried butter, runs Sept. 25 through Oct. 18.

I used to sneak and eat butter as a kid but I would swipe my finger across it then licked it. I NEVER ate butter by the balls, though!

To be fair, there are salads that have higher colesterol.

That's ice cream. It's actually wrapped in some kinda dough then fried so it's basically more like a biscuit or something.

Nasty. that's why Americans are so damn FAT!

That food is beyond gross, deep fried butter!!!!! You Americans need to sort your shit out, you're the most overweight nation on earth and there are 2 billion people who can't even have one bowl of rice or mealy meal every day. In this country food like that would be banned. We no longer worry about American imperialism anymore as you will all be dead from obesity by 2100. I bet its probably some 400lb guy who invented that shit. I mean whats next, pure fat eating competitions with coloured and flavoured sugar to boot, or eat a whole cow competitions.
