Yet another fried food

Because you can never have too many fried foods.

You already know about fried twinkies and fried candy bars. The latest thing at the state fairs: Fried Coke.

Um, I don't know how fried Coke tastes like. Have you tried it?

No. I just saw mention of it online. From this description of how it is made, it sounds overly sweet.

So, in 2 days he sold 35,000 at $4.50 each which give me $157500. If correct, not a bad 2 days. Overhead??

Probably costs a whole lot to get a booth at the State Fair, though.

I just tried the link and it was sluggish. So I googled deep-fried coke and all the links were sluggish. I guess it's to replicate how you would be after too many deep fried cokes!

Can you get deep fried Diet Coke? :p

I have to admit, I like the deep fried snickers. The outside is warm cake and the inside is gooey chocolate/caramel with nuts... yum!

There was a short-lived restaurant in my area that served up what was essentially a deep-fried calzone. It was okay, but overall, pretty unremarkable. I did enjoy the crispiness of the dough, but other than that ... meh.

Totally different beast. The differences between pizza and ravioli dough are massive. So is the scale between a rav and a calzone. Calzones are usually 8-12" wide, by 4-6" across. It's kind of like a mini stromboli, only there's no internal sauce and ricotta cheese is usually added as an ingredient.

I know what a calzone is, I'm just stretching for a loose metaphor involving something I have actually had fried.

I think the word beast would be right for a fried calzone...
