Fried Blog
Since we’re on the subject of legislation and food, does anyone think that fried Coke should be illegal? I hope not, because I kind of want to try it. It seems so very wrong, and yet so right.
“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.”
I also have to say that the concept of fried Diet Coke cracks me up. It seems like a lost cause.

OK, this is, like, a chaser for the KFC bowl, right?
If it's made illegal, then I'm guessing more people will want to try it.
I have a feeling this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but can I just say that in pushing away from that I'd like to roll the dice to double my chances to have cheesecake after my collard greens when I am 70 and tiramisu after my roasted vegetables when I am 80?
Just because someone is attempting to legislate against something, like, oh, transfats (and purportedly infringe on your alleged rights) doesn't mean that the stuff might not still be HORRIBLE FOR YOU.
*runs screaming*
I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home of the Wisconsin State Fair (well, to be exact, its in West Allis, but I digress). I had pretty much stopped being shocked at just how much bad stuff they could make for you to eat. I guess 15+ years of living here (originally from Chicago) has numbed me to it, until the day my boss, a transplant from Minnesota, came to the office the day after her first state fair experience, (featuring deep-fried Snickers bars) and asked us, "Is there anything you people won't deep-fry?"
"No, Kathy, as a matter of fact, there isn't."
Looks like George has a leg up on us here. We deep fry grasshoppers, to be sure, but somebody with a lot of time on their hands found a way to deep fry a beverage.
I too want to try it, out of just curiosity, and to later say "If I'm going to blow six bazillion points/calories/whathaveyou on some kind of dessert, it's NOT going to be Deep Fried Coke."
I'm sorry, but no. I've tasted raw coke syrup and it's not something I want poured on my doughnutlike fried coke dough. Yuck.
And the diet coke version? DOUBLE YUCK!
Imagine someone getting upset because their deep fried beverage donut thingy got made with regular coke, not DIET like they ordered.
Ew...! The only good thing about coke is the fizziness - once you reduce it down to the syrup, you've got what you had back before old man Pemberton the pharmacist decided to add the soda water: cough syrup.
Mm...fried donut holes, swimming in cough syrup. Hand it over!
(Kudos to snackiepoo for the revised recipe name of "heart attack balls in a vat of sugar" - excellent!)
As someone with an avowed sweet tooth, I'd just like to add a resounding bleeeeeuurrrghhh! to the whole idea.
