Would you try Deep-Fried Butter?

From the man that brought us fried coke and Texas fried cookie dough comes deep fried butter! Abel Gonzales Jr. takes butter, injects it with flavoring, covers it in dough and deep fries it. It's in contention at the Texas State Fair for best new fair food.

Apparently it tastes like buttered toast, but with the artery-clogging nutritional values, would you try it?

Just the very mention of this questionable culinary creation makes my heart hurt! I can't help but envision a big ball of butter being thrown in to a deep fryer and whatever doesn't melt in the grease is left for consumption. I'm having a hard time holding back a dry heave as I write this! LOL

No, I don't think I could be so mean to my arteries much less my heart by partaking in this so called State Fair snack.

I would give it a shot. Deep-Fried Butter sounds unhealthy but delicious. Fried cookie dough is good and so is fried ice cream. I would definitely be willing to try it.

No. I don't like butter. Now deep fried peanut butter I might try. He invented deep fried coke? Hm. I wonder if I'm too late to invent deep fried beer? That should be a lot more appealing to us adults.

I checked. I'd be second at best.

I would try it at least once, especially if there were some steamed crab legs on the side.

That sounds amazing, I hope it comes to my state fair next year because I would love to try some. Also the coke and cookie dough sound great. I've only had the deep fried candy bars and deep fried chocolate chip cookies so far and they were great!

Suicide by butter, that's creative.

However I am a risk taker with a passion for butter and the foods it accents well so yes I would love to try some deep fried butter.

It sounds deliciously messy and I would bet it is a big hit at state fairs and the like.

Deep fried lobster butter?

No way. I don't like butter much anyway, and deep-frying it sounds so far into the realm of parody that I can't believe it isn't from The Onion. It isn't like it's some ages-old gourmet food that just happens to be high in fat and calories (TO SAY THE LEAST), either. The guy just made it up to shock people and get publicity. It literally did not exist before.

If it tastes like a buttered roll or croissant, well, we have buttered rolls and croissants that already fill that niche nicely.

Your description alone makes me want to run out and try it. However, I fear that my DR will immediately call me...because I am convinced he has a camera near me at all times.

I have a rule that i'll try anything once, I even tried moose meat when I was a hardcore vegetarian, but the idea of deep fried butter does not appeal to me.

So the video said the judging was yesterday, I wonder how the deep fried butter placed....

I'm a butter nut and butter goes in most of my dishes. Having been introduced to the idea.. I may have to try this! However, it does seem like aone try, one time deal. I suppose it depends on the amount fo butter one places inside too.

I think I would try it if I had a chance. I don't know who would cook this kind of thing. I would not attempt it in my kitchen. I'm sure not going to do it in front of my wife. She thinks I'm off already and this might push her over the edge.

Notice I said do...and not taste. I actually just want to see what it looks like and feel the texture and smell it....If its what I think it would be then maybe I will taste it.
