The Del Mar Fair marks the opening of summer in San Diego county. I look forward to it every year. I manage to eat $60 worth of corn dogs, bbq corn-on-the-cob, cinnamon rolls, blooming onions, waffle cones, and candy. In recent years, The Fair features a new, novelty, battered and deep fried food. It gets lots of hype and news coverage. Local tv stations interview people about it and get man-on-the-street reviews. Past fried food products have included: the twinkie, the oreo, the pop tart, the chicken & donut bun sandwich, the klondike bar, etc.
Last year they added chocolate covered bacon, which isn't really battered and fried, but looks equally disgusting. Just look at it.
I think I scooped some of that off my lawn this weekend.
This year the featured battered and fried product is BUTTER. Seriously. Look. I think the sign says it all.
I heard lots of people talking about the fried butter, but never saw anyone actually eat it. My faith in humanity was restored.
Then I remembered that it was a human that came up with this idea in the first place.

YOu do know that because I couldn't find any Chacon at our local fairs, I had to resort to making it myself. It did make for a good blog post.
I applaud you for calling it the Del Mar Fair, even though they changed the name to The San Diego County Fair several years ago.
No joke, Wendy is going to a potluck this Friday and she's making bacon ice cream. First of all: what? Secondly, who brings ice cream to a potluck? Oh, Wendy!
Ewww. I was JUST getting ready to have lunch. I think I'll have a nice green salad, because just reading "deep fried butter" made me gag. WHAT are these people thinking?? I mean, Deep fried cheez whiz is SO.MUCH.BETTER.
and ps. Bacon is SO OVER. Can we please return to The nutella craze people?? An old classic never dies...
I've never made it to the fair - and I'm on my third summer in San Diego. I looove fried foods so it is definitely a motivation for me to get there!
