Food & Beverage

You can say whatever you will about Texas, the Long-Star state knows how to do some things exactly right- the Texas State Fair is selling Frozen Margaristas and Deep-fried Beer. Both items should appeal to discerning palates ready to get their alcohol in new and exciting ways. 

The deep-fried beer includes comes inside pretzel-pockets- when you bite into the doughy part of the pretzel pocket, beer pops out into your mouth. mmmmmmmmm. http://www.khou.com/news/Booze-done-better-State-Fair-to-feature-deep-fr... The Frozen Margaritas are not usual either- the frozen margarita mix is combined with funnel-cake batter containing standard Margarita ingredients and sprinkled with lemon, making for what I presume is a very unusual taste and sensation. 

The unusual alcohol/fried foods are not the only entries in the Texas State Fair's  fried food category. Other entries in the competition included deep-fried chocolate and Frito Pie- probably both delicious, but maybe not quite as exciting as an actual pretzel with beer inside. 

I don't know what kind of beer was used inside the pretzel pocket- maybe a Bud Lite- nor do I know what special ingredients were used in the Frozen Margarita funnel-cake concoction. I am guessing the ingredients will be kept a secret until the winner is found. Likewise, I am convinced that the combination of booze and fried food will win out over the more traditional fried foods for their novelty alone.
