Fair Food

It's officially FALL!
Fall and FAIRS or FESTIVALS go hand-in-hand for me. And the State Fair of Texas is just around the cornder.
One thing that the state fair is famous for food are the freakishly uinque fried foods (or other strange concoctions).

 

Read one of the following articles

State Fair Blog
State Fair Food Article 1
State Fair Food Article 2
 
Your assignment is to create a new fair food!

• Give the food a name.
• Describe what the end product will be.
• Generate a way to cook this food (fried coke is not actually a fried ball of coke - it's a coke flavored CAKE that has been fried).
