New treat at Texas state fair – Deep fried beer
Ravioli look-a-like – Beer wrapped in pretzel dough
The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic.
When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation.
Inventor Mark Zable said it had taken him three years to come up with the cooking method and a patent for the process is pending. He declined to say whether any special ingredients were involved.
His deep-fried beer will be officially unveiled in a fried food competition at the Texas state fair later this month.
Five ravioli-like pieces will sell for $5 and the Texas Alcoholic Commission has already ruled that people must be aged over 21 to try it. Mr Zable has so far been deep frying Guinness but said he may switch to a pale ale in future.
He said: “Nobody has been able to fry a liquid before. It tastes like you took a bite of hot pretzel dough and then took a drink of beer.” Mr Zable previously invented dishes including chocolate-covered strawberry waffle balls and jalapeño corndog shrimps.
Last year’s winner of the Texas state fair fried food competition was a recipe for deep-fried butter.

[…] New treat at Texas state fair – Deep fried beer […]
As long as it is served with chocolate covered deep fried bacon and deep fried twinkies my lardy ass is there.
(Just kidding of course. I need a hurl bucket just envisioning the repulsive gut bombs that Stella mentioned.)
I know a few people that would like to try this.
Me too.
Will they make the left over market? I can’t do hot liquids in my mouth….ouch! But it does sound tasty…. right now I’m doing freezer ice cold bottles of genuine draft. COLD COLD COLD 🙂
You know, my last reply was kind of heartless and nasty towards some overweight people IMO. So I will revise it here and say there are too many of us overweight and when we get these little temptations like fried this and that thrown in our face, is it any wonder. Some people cannot control the weight issues and I realized my comment was not very nice, no it was mean and I don’t do mean well. If any of you were offended by me saying lardass, I am really sorry.
That would be Mr. Lardass if you please.
You don’t count nerd man. I put the apology up for those people that might be lurking here, that I hurt THEIR feelings. You, I know are going to be nice to me regardless because I have something you want ;). *rubbing hands* laughing that evil cackley laugh.
First the sweet talk with the “nerd man” and then the evil cackley.
You don’t have a hairless cat called Mr Biggles, do you?
No but I do have two called Mr Hand and Spiccoli, does that count for anything?

Baked scotch? Hmmmmm….interesting 🙂
Oh you can bake Scotch/rum. Just saying, soaking raisins and currants in them for about two weeks makes this really good raisin alcohol cake thing, I have had only once. I think, it’s some kind of British thing, coated in marzipan and that icing the breaks your teeth off it’s so hard. Got it at my Scottish friends house one year and have never had it again. Way too much sugar for me, it was like diabetes just sitting waiting to happen on a plate.
Man and they wonder why more than a third of the population are lard asses. Wonder no more, Jess is here with the answer people. Deep fried food, may just be part of the issue. This was free advice.
What, no deep-fried fat?
They do have deep fried butter. Does that count?
Krell, something close to deep-fried butter is close to perfected. When I lived in New England, I sampled some artery-clogging “delicacy” called fried dough. Those hydrogenated belly bombs make doughnuts taste like a salad. For those of you who haven’t sampled this fat-laden mess, here goes. Take the heaviest mixture of flour and butter you can find and deep fry it in hydrogenated fat. Before the victim receives this nauseous mess, the vendor asks if you want butter and/or sugar. One bite made me wish a vomitorium was close by. Horrible, nasty stuff. Jess, am I correct that 1/3 of obese [mericans are morbidly obese… another 1/3 are just obese?
@Stella, yeah there are about that many overweight and morbidly obese. Not just us Amurkans though. Because we are exporting all this crappy food and HFCS(the devil) other countries are getting just as weighty.
But “hydrogenated belly bombs” makes it sound so yummy..
***Warning*** Krell Science Moment***
Just what is hydrogenated oil or fats? Well, they take hydrogen gas and inject it, under high pressure, into the oils to actually change the chemical makeup of the oil or fat so that it will not turn rancid as quick and to also make a oil into a solid.
Example is Crisco. But there is one problem. Chemistry says not going to do it, cannot mix H2 into a organic compound without the use of a metallic catalyst.
So they use a platinum or palladium metal screen to act as the catalyst.
By the way, current law allows a food that has less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving to say it has 0 grams trans fat on the food label. Some weird Zeno’s Paradox thing I think.
Um, no no it does not. do you know what that stuff does to the inner workings of the body? Ever seen a clogged artery because of fats and yuck? I’ll stick to grazing like a rabbit and avoid belly bombs thank you very much. Plus your digestive system does not work properly to eject all that waste.
Actually pointing out a loophole in the Trans Fat labeling as required by the FDA. If it is less than .5 g of Trans Fat per serving, it can be labeled as 0 grams of Trans fat.

Trans Fat is nasty and very unhealthy.
Three years of the guys life to come up with that “culinary” masterpiece?
Now I wonder if he can come up with deep fat fried Pepto-Bismol?
My cell screen is too small to read the right-hand side of comments and posts. I am willing to bet someone in Tex-ass also invented deep-fried Snickers bars.
