Deep-Fried Coke

April 9, 2007 |


I’m addicted to Coke, ask my husband. I’m not talking about the kind that could land me in prison. I’m talking about the kind that comes in a bottle.

I’ve tried several times to give it up, both, to improve my health and reduce my waistline. But, each attempt has been unsuccessful. I just can’t get enough!

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when I came across an article on one of the newest state fair delicacies, deep-fried Coke. Talk about dying and going to heaven!!

Deep-fried Coke is the creation of Able Gonzales, Jr. This Texas State Fair vendor, has come up with, I think, an ingenious idea to deep fry a Coke infused batter. He, then, drizzles the finished product with Coke syrup and tops it off whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. All I can say is YUM!

This sweet treat won the ‘most creativity’ honor at the 2nd Annual Big Tex Choice Awards, beating out deep-fried macaroni and cheese.

There are many people who will probably frown on this artery-clogging product. Yes, it’s not the healthiest thing you can eat … but let’s face it… it’s not something that will be consumed on a daily basis. As the saying goes Everything in moderation, right?

On my next visit to our local fair, I’ll be saying goodbye to Elephant Ears and Corn Dogs and hello to Deep-Fried Coke. :-)

    I think you have me confused with ‘Merry’s Kitchen of Indonesian Cuisine & Recipes’.
    I’m in the USA…. Michigan.

    Holy Cow!!! I’m right there with you. I probably drink way too much Coke. I heard about the deep fried coke thing but never got to try one. It sounds like it will rot your teeth right out of your head! YUM!!! I did finally cut back my Coke to just 3 a day (for the most part).
