2) There's a difference between having some fat/oil/butter integrated into a batter vs. a stick of whipped butter wrapped in batter. If you don't consider that a difference, I don't really understand where you're coming from.

To put it another way, I eat lots of things that contain a Tblsp of butter as an ingerdient. That doesn't mean I'd take a tablespoon, scoop out some butter from a tub, and eat it. Let alone wrap a stick of butter in something that contains a Tblsp of butter and eat that.

If we're talking about the subjective gross factor, I've stuck a pinky in sweet whipped butter and had a lick. I can't say I'd eat it with a spoon. It all depends on percentages and flavoring.

Regarding health concepts - you really couldn't make a case that it's any worse than any other deep fried thing.

I'm totally craving onion rings now. Thanks CP...

I'd try the sweet potato one and maybe the shrimp too.

I would eat deep fried butter. Can't say whether I'd like it, but I'd sure give it a try.

I know someone, and now I can't remember who, that just eats sticks of butter right out of the fridge. So some people might like it, but it does sound kinda gross.

I just thought of something really wacky the fairs should try next year: take some regular potatoes and cut them into long thin strips (maybe a 1/4" square and as long as the potato). Leave them naked (don't batter them) and just put them in a the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown, drain and lightly salt. Serve them with a dipping sauce made from tomato concentrate, corn syrup (or other sugar), vinegar, salt, herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder.

Now THAT would be really wacky!

That literally made me queasy. Probably because my brother used to do that as a kid. He also used to eat mayo with a spoon. Thank gawd he lost that habit years ago.

I wonder if anyone has ever rammed a stick up a whole potato, dunked it in boiling oil, then served it whole?

I stopped reading at that point and contemplated quietly to myself.

I need to STFU or I'm going to be on everyone's Ignore List soon....

If you could involve a stick of some sort, you'd have a winner.
