Every year the Texas State Fair includes the Big Tex Choice Awards competition to find the most creative and best-tasting new, unique food. It doesn't actually say on the website this food HAS to be fried, but it appears to be a requirement. Previous winners include the fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwich, and fried beer. This year’s winner? Deep-fried bubblegum.
No, stick with it, it’s not as gross as you think.
It’s actually pink marshmallow infused with bubblegum extract, dipped in pink batter and then deep-fried. According to this video, the chef spent 2 months perfecting the recipe, based on an employee's suggestion.
I have to say, I’m certainly intrigued. What could be next year’s hit? Deep-fried refried beans? How about a fried chocolate cake?
