Deep Frying the Fruit »
It seems that for 2005, the North Carolina state fair has decided to get healthy. Keep in mind, however, that "healthy" is something of a relative designation. In place of (or, more likely, in addition to) all the deep-fried food that's bad for you, such as candy bars, Oreos and even Twinkies, now you can score some downright heart-conscious alternatives.
Okay, if the truth be known it doesn't really matter much if you deep-fry a fruit, it's still deep fried and it will clog an artery about as fast. But at least at the center of that glob of batter you'll not find a batch of preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Or perhaps you will, should you choose one of the traditional items on the menu.
But this year, in addition to the standard fare of years past, you will also be able to choose a deep-fried apple, strawberry "kabob" or pineapple "pina colada strips". Cool.

I'd love to try these strawberry kabobs on my deep frying blog! You may find some more delicacies on the link you would enjoy. Long live deep frying!
