Deep Fried Butter? This is another new dish that I would like to try eating. Do you relish the idea of your heart exploding – if so, you might want to try deep fried butter. Deep fried butter is a horrible idea, but that didn’t stop it’s creator, Abel Gonzales Jr., from doing it. He’s unveiling it at the Texas State Fair. (This HAD to happen in the South.) It’s described as a biscuit or croissant like breading, stuffed to the gills with butter and deep fried – my arteries are clogging just reading about it. This is horrible food, and quite frankly, we have enough problems with obesity in this country without this guy. Seriously – every time somebody eats deep fried butter, another cardiologist loses the need for a loan ’til payday.

I enjoy some deep-fried goodness once-in-a-while, but butter? My skin crawls just thinking about it.

Last time I was in Atlanta (GA) I saw deep-fried snickers candy-bars for sale; This beats that.

Why is it always Texas, that comes up with these shocking bad alternatives to healthy living? This should have been dubbed “Deep Fried Heart Attack”. “I can’t believe it’s not deep fried butter” would have been a slightly healthier version. Well….if this is the way Texans want to go, I’m not going to stand in their way. Just don’t start a chain store of it, for the whole country. Or introduce it to high schools, everywhere.

The article fails to state that the cardiac van is nearby, for those needing its assistance.

If you think about, and I know most of you aren’t into that, this is probably the only deep fried snack that has fewer calories after frying.

#1 Agree. This is the type of stuff that fuels the players in the heathcare industry.

We now have a pill for pretty much any ailment and a pill to counteract the bad effects of the others pills.
