I would totally eat deep fried butter

 The Iowa State Fair is an amazing combo of giant livestock, fried food and politics, but they’ve really increased the intensity this year … some intrepid midway fry cook has introduced deep fried butter. It's an entire stick of butter fried in a cinnamon honey batter. It’s like a reverse pancake. (Idea: deep fried blueberry pancakes.) Oh, and it’s also drizzled with sugar glaze.

What’s the craziest food you’ve ever fried at home or eaten at a state fair? Deep fried Doritos? Deep fried Pepsi? I’ve had deep fried chicken feet, and I swear I was one of the first Americans to try a deep fried snickers bar.

Here's a link to a video of a reporter from Des Moines' KCCI investigating the deliciousness of deep fried butter.
