A slab of butter is coated with batter or breadcrumbs and deep fried.
Is this really a thing? Eating 100g? of real butter, deep fried?
I have heard of this. Personally, I think it would make me sick.
Same here. I can not imagine eating a slab of butter. I would be rather ill if I did that.

Abel Gonzales Jr., also known as âFried Jesusâ, of Dallas, Texas, invented deep-fried butter, serving it at the 2009 State Fair of Texas in Dallas, Texas. Prepared using frozen, battered butter, it was awarded the âMost Creative food prizeâ at that time.
A version of deep-fried butter on a stick debuted at the Iowa State Fair 2011, which was prepared using frozen butter that is dipped in a honey- and cinnamon- flavored batter, deep-fried until browned, and then topped with a confectionerâs sugar glaze. This concoction on a stick was invented by Larry Fyfe, an entrepreneur and concessionaire at the fair. Deep-fried butter has also been served on a stick at the State Fair of Texas.
In 2011 at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California, deep-fried butter was paired with chocolate-covered bacon (see below) and dubbed the âcoronary combo.â ABC News made a comparison regarding the pricing of this food pairing, stating, âthe $10.50 price rivaled some health plansâ co-payments for a visit to a cardiologist.â This dish has also been served at other events and venues, such as the State Fair of Virginia and the Musikfest music festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Yuk indeed.

Why?.. Just⌠Why?
With my cooking hat on, I couldnât see how you could fry it without the butter melting?
But I see now the butter is frozen and the batter sweetened with toppings
In which case, itâs probably a bit like eating ice cream in batter? I would think it would taste quite bland and be very greasy
But letâs not get too superior about it, we are home to the battered Mars Bar đŤ¨đ¨
If my recollection is correct, that is Stonehaven on the east coast, where the fish & chip shop, The Bervie Chipper, lays claim to that delicacy. We all need a claim to fame. And a heart monitor.

You delicate little flower!
I take it back, they trumps our Mars bars with deep fried Snickers and Oreos!
Iâve never seen it. It doesnât sound or look good, but I watch those YouTube videos of snacks around the world. Many of those donât look great to me either, but having not tried it, I canât say.
Haggis, anyone?
Yes, please!
Butter on a stick , isnât life short enuff already ?
Yes, not something I would eat. I watched the video of someone eating one. The butter had melted and was running out the back, all over the persons clothes.
Totally gross thing to eat.
I wouldnât fancy it, sounds greasy, youâd end up with coated teeth!
But we do have to be careful about what is the worst healthwise, it can be tricksy
I suppose at least butter is an unprocessed food, allowed on Keto and itâs no trans fats or hydrogenated oils
And the batterâs probably just flour and water
Itâs obviously not health food but it might not be any worse for your heart than that salted caramel sundae, or ultra processed ready meals
