Doughnut burger, the latest fair food

[LaurenG]

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Fairgoers in Syracuse, N.Y., will be able to buy themselves a burger and a doughnut.

State fairs seem to be trying to out-do each other these days with offbeat food combinations. Wisconsin has chocolate covered bacon on a stick. You can get fried beer in Texas, while Massachusetts provides fried jelly beans.

And North Carolina has the "Koolickle." It's a pickle, soaked in Kool-Aid.

1. Fried Beer? OMG

[LaurenG]

2. I had to google how that was done

From Gawker
Here's the quick-and-dirty recipe:

1. Make little ravioli pockets of a "pretzel-like" dough.
2. Fill with beer.
3. Deep fry for around 20 seconds.
4. Marvel at the world, that such a thing as deep-fried beer exists.

I know what you're thinking: Will my hunk of oil-covered starch still get me wasted? Ha—are you kidding?! The 20-second cooking time is "short enough... for the confection to remain alcoholic." Sign me up for 20! No, 100!

3. They stole it from Paula Deen

She did it ages ago.

4. I love doughnuts and burgers, but not together!

5. Kool-Aid + Pickles = Koolickles

... Apparently, these are standard fare in the Mississippi Delta, and the trend picked up steam when the New York Times ran a piece on them last year. So now I must ask: Who here has tried these? What are they like? Are they the solution to all of my Kool-Aid-pickle-pairing problems? Or are they hell in the form of an cylinder? ...

Angus eats a Koolickle
I ate half of this myself. It was disgusting and my sister told me to tape my dog eating it. He really liked it ...

6. I remember seeing that a few years back with a Krispy Kreme

But it didn't sound good at the time. :)

7. That would be the "Luther Burger" from The Boondocks

from the episode, The Itis. Basically a "crack burger" for the effect it has on people :P

8. After "fried butter" I can no longer be shocked.
