Every summer, it seems like some daring foodie or junk food aficionado
comes up with another deep fried snack that pushes the boundaries of
flavour, texture and nutritional common sense.
In recent years, we've seen the emergence of deep fried butter, deep fried cola and even deep fried peaches and cream.
The crispy sensation that's got people buzzing this year is deep fried
Kool-Aid. That's right, mobile food vendor Charlie Boghosian has been
mixing the iconic sugary drink with flour, forming sweet little dough
balls and fryin' 'em up. He sold 400 to 600 orders per day during the
June 10 opening weekend of the San Diego County Fair, according to the
website SignOnSanDiego.com.
For those who enjoy their Kool-Aid on the crunchy side, check out this
video and photo homage to other greasy, gluttonous, gastronomic
creations.
