Each year before the Texas State Fair opens, they have a contest to determine the best new foods to be offered at the fair. It's called the Big Tex Choice Awards, and awards are given for "best tasting" and "most creative". Yesterday, the winners of this year's awards were announced.
The Best Tasting Award went to Fernie's Deep Fried Peaches And Cream (pictured). The dish was created by Christi Erpillo and named after her mother. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, "The dessert was made by deep frying peaches dipped in a batter that included cinnamon, ginger and coconut, drizzling raspberry sauce on top and adding vanilla butter cream icing on the side for dipping."
Good grief, I'm getting fatter just thinking about it! Last year's Best Tasting Award went to Chicken Fried Bacon. The Texas State Fair just doesn't cut a guy on a diet any slack at all!
The Most Creative Award this year went to Abel Gonzalez for his deep fried butter dish. A lover of buttered toast, Gonzalez wrapped seasoned butter in a dough and deep fried it. He fixes the dish in four different flavors -- regular butter, garlic, grape and cherry.
Oh, screw the diet! I want some of everything!
