I can proudly say that I tried the fried butter this year at the State Fair. The group of guys I went with all had... two helpings of it. It felt wrong, but it was so incredibly good.

It isn't as bad as it sounds either. It tasted just like a warm biscuit with butter in the center!

More disturbing is the large woman in the motorized wheelchair that looks thrilled to be taking one more giant step towards a stroke. Can't understand why people complain about an obesity epidemic.

It's nice to let loose every now and then. No one's claiming it's great food, but it's nice to eat junk once a year at the fair. I miss funnel cakes badly...been about 6 years since my last one. Also, fried pickles :)

It's funny because since this is happening in the US and Texas in particular people will say it's redneck and typical US junk or whatever... but I guarantee if someone found a street food vendor in some 3rd world country serving up something similar foodies around the world would be chomping at the bit to try it :D

That boy is absolutely adorable!!!

wontons don't look like that
you can't call that a wonton
that's like calling a duck a chicken

shanghainese wontons....
naha. those are a totally different story

nice looking skins nonetheless...for dumplings

@foodinmouth
I agree with the above about wonton vs. dumplings. Wonton are a very specific kind of dumpling normally seen in soup. Compared to jiaozi/potstickers/gyoza, they have a thinner, softer yellow wrapper. The filling almost always involves pork and chunks of shrimp.
also...deep fried wonton are blasphemous.
