over the top

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

It seems that each year at the fair they seem to come up with some over-the-top treat that is as bizarre as it is ridiculous. Sometimes you order just to say you've tried it. The staple at all local fairs is the funnel cake. Milk, egg and flour goodness in a squiggly circular shape. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar and eaten hot, steaming and beautifully browned.

A couple years ago they came up with fried Snickers bars. WHOA. They were the small individual Snickers coated with batter and fried. They were way too sweet for my taste, but this year they've come up with a winner - - fried Oreos!!!

Yes, oreos dipped in funnel cake batter and fried quickly in very hot oil, and again dusted with powdered sugar. They were quite delicious. The oreo loses it's hard crunchy texture and becomes a warm chocolately cake delight. The creamy center melts and creates an inner glaze. The chef gladly posed serving the creation.

Zanne,

Oh, this is bad! Your immense talents now being turned to my utter corruption. You realize, don't you, that I must now go out and devour an entire pack of Oreos by myself today. Couldn't you have stuck to photographing old barns?

Nice series of pix about the fair though.

In addition to the funnel cakes, do they have anything called "fried dough"? I noticed it on a sign at a carnival here in Va.Bch. and had never seen that at any other fair or carnival.

The oreos look yum..does he have a secret funnel cake recipe for the batter?

Swtnsasi said...

we tried fried twinkies at our fair in Ohio last year! they were surprisingly light--not heavy or greasy at all. and they expand when they hit the fried oil so they puff up and get really big. yum!

Gingerbread is a sweet that can take the form of a cake or a cookie in which the predominant flavor is ginger. As a cookie, gingerbread can be made into a thin, crisp cookie (often called a ginger snap) or a softer cookie similar to the German Lebkuchen. Gingerbread cookies are often cut into shapes, particularly gingerbread men. Market Drayton in Shropshire, sportsbook, England, claims to be the place where gingerbread was invented. Traditionally it was dunked in port. The first recorded mention of gingerbread being baked in the town dates back to 1793; however, it was probably made earlier as ginger was stocked in high street businesses from the 1640s. http://www.enterbet.com

I hate Oreo's (chalky and pasty, IMO), but I've had fried Oreo's on three different occasions, and they're really, really good.
