Slog - Comments on Even Jonah Will Agree That This Goes Too Far http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/even_jonah_will_agree_that_this_goes_too For your Monday atherosclerotic pleasure, I give you: Deep-fried butter balls! That's right. Deep-fried balls OF BUTTER. The recipe (from an episode of Paula Deen's Food Network show called "Everything's Better With Butter," relies heavily on butter (two sticks) but uses cream cheese (two ounces) as a binder. You cream them together, freeze until solid, batter and fry. Full recipe below the jump, but trust me, you really don't want to go there....

The bacon-wrapped, cheese-filled hot dogs actually looked pretty tasty, but when I saw this I vomited in my mouth a little.

How can weed be illegal, but propagating solid fat, case-hardened in boiling fat, is a great down-home serving idea? Just plain fucked in the head.

This foodstuff is practically the definition of patriotism!

Unlike most foods, I don't think the deep-frying really makes this food product any worse than it already is. Its basically just frying balls of almost-pure frozen fat in pure hot fat.

At least cream cheese has some nutrients.

Cream cheese AND butter? sounds amazing. Not as elegant or interesting as, say, a fantastic chocolate or a truffle or something, but if this is the best America has to offer, I'll check it out.
