State Fair fried-food finalists: Fried margaritas, fried Frito pie
Fans of some deep-fried food at this year's State Fair of Texas must flash an ID to prove they're legally old enough to eat the alcohol-laced goodies.

Texas Fried Caviar - Black-eyed peas are fried and laced with special spices.
Texas Fried Frito Pie – Chili, sharp cheddar cheese and corn chips are battered and fried.
I know which ones you guys will be wanting to eat..all of them..ain't Texas grand.
I have an idea for one..deep fried rum balls.
I notice they don't have skunk eggs..We need to send some up for next year . Although I still think I have the best idea of making them the exact same way except smaller and calling them Skunk Balls...So far I'm the only one that thinks it's a good idea.
If I ate one of everything on that list? I'd be in a diabetic coma till 12-21-12 and the Mayans come and get me. fuckme I'll never walk the run way again.

Personally, I think your idea for Skunk Balls is great! They could be the next Prairie Oysters!
Oh how I want a Deep Fried S'mores Pop• Tart... I'd join you in that diabetic coma - but I don't think I'd care. :)
Go Skunk Balls! (Print up some bumper stickers?)
Maybe it's my recent digestive issues but yuck!
Texas State Fair sounds like a great state fair.
At the Kentucky State Fair the odd new food is a Krispy Kreme sugar donut hamburger; just a hamburger with 2 donuts as the bun. It's $8 and 1000 calories. All the local news weather heads have been out and eaten one on camera. Reggie said he wanted one but his girlfriend wouldn't walk to the other side of the fair to get one.
All that fried shit sounds efffin yummy.
I DO see a market for fried skunk balls about the size of a hush puppy.
Have a ball making them.
Pun intended. ;0)
Fried booze. Just what the heart and liver crave.
Obviously there isn't a thing on earth that can't be fried.
i thought they had topped themselves last year with fried butter...but fried beer sounds good..even to me who no longer drinks..
yeah, it's texas we fry everything including coffee..
Damn, talk about a heart attack in a sack!
LOL!
Damn my diabetes! I want to be one of the judges of this contest!
Eating that stuff might just scare your diabetes away.
