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!
ReplyDeleteOh 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. :)
ReplyDeleteGo Skunk Balls! (Print up some bumper stickers?)
Maybe it's my recent digestive issues but yuck!
ReplyDeleteTexas State Fair sounds like a great state fair.
ReplyDeleteAt 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteObviously there isn't a thing on earth that can't be fried.
ReplyDeletei thought they had topped themselves last year with fried butter...but fried beer sounds good..even to me who no longer drinks..
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's texas we fry everything including coffee..
Damn, talk about a heart attack in a sack!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Damn my diabetes! I want to be one of the judges of this contest!
ReplyDeleteEating that stuff might just scare your diabetes away.
