In Richmond, IN, there was a restaurant we visited often that had a frie brownie sundae on the menu–a battered and deep fried brownie dolloped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and smothered in hot fudge and whipped cream. The place shut down a few weeks ago…and I am grateful I never have to face that brownie again!!

Okay, if you like soda recipes, heres one. Get a box of Duncan Hines brownies or betty crocker, or whatever looks good. Don’t use any oil, or butter or eggs or anything, just a single can of diet coke. Then bake it according to directions. Flat, but yummy and less calories and fat and stuff than it normally would be…. It’s an old weight watchers recipe.

I’ve had the deep fried Mars bar – after seeing Nigella Lawson, the insanely beautiful British tv chef have one, I had to try it. I was physically unable to walk the 5 blocks home from the crazy British restaurant in Brooklyn where I got it (Chip Shop). Definitely a memorable experience, though not one I intend to repeat.

I’ve been reading your blog for ages now but I think this is the first time I’ve commented. You never fail to entertain – truly, one of my favorite blogs to read.

i hear the indiana state fair has trans fat-free FUNNEL CAKES. mmmmmmm. funnel cakes. i ran some focus groups in milwaukee during the 2004 wisconsin state fair – all of the respondents insisted i check it out. i witnessed people feeding cream puffs bigger than my head to toddlers – with pride! blech!

I agree with you about not going to a state fair- it sucks that ours is only a few miles from my house- ack! At least Indiana banned trans-fats- no such luck for New York… yet.

you know that deep fried chocolate (mars bars especially) are a scottish ‘delicacy’. I joke not. you can get them served on the side of chips, all fried in beef fat(fries, sisters over the pond). the pinnacle of all this is deep fried pizza (cheap pizza dipped in batter, and fried). you see America doesn’t have a monopoly on the saturated fats….
