Althouse: "Dark brown and shiny worm-like pieces of batter, soft to the touch, piled in a biodegradable cup."

"Dark brown and shiny worm-like pieces of batter, soft to the touch, piled in a biodegradable cup."

"It comes topped with cola syrup, more icing sugar, whipped cream, and two cherries."

Fried Coke!

What are you deep frying these days?

If you've never tried a deep fried Twinkie, I highly recommend them. Even/especially if you don't care for Twinkies, just trust me on this. People would step up and read the sign saying what was available and they would come to the Twinkie part and get this look of shock and disgust... for about four seconds. And then they'd say "Uh.. Gimme one of those".; 9/3/11, 10:38 AM
