Right now I'm standing in Stop & Shop (a large grocery chain in New England) looking at a display of Crazy Apples, smack in the middle of the produce section. Very appropriate name. They're flavored apples packed in a colorful
eye- catching plastic bag, one flavored Fuji apple to a bag. They have 3 flavors, Tropical Blast, Bubble Gum and Pomegranate Grape. Only one word comes to my mind...HUH?

OK, and speaking of crazy foods . . . . . .
.
This year from the wonderful state of Texas and the infamous Texas State Fair,
who brought you (from past fairs):
deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried Oreos, and would you believe? deep Fried Butter, Chicken-Fried Bacon, and last year's deep Fried S’mores.
.
Well they are at it again!
.
Attendees at the 125th fair which started its annual 24-day run on Saturday will determine whether this year’s crispy crop, among them:
Fried Bubblegum, Fried Buffalo Chicken in a Flapjack, Fried Autumn Pie, and Hans’ Kraut Ball
- - - will become instant classics, as well as cash cows.
Deep-frying makes for deep pockets.
Last year the fair set a single-day food sales record of $3.6 million.
These totally decadent, gleefully caloric, once-a-year foods give the fair its other title: the Fried Food Capital of Texas.


Deep fried butter?
Hey is it at least grass-fed sourced butter? Ha-ha !!!

I would like to try Hans Kraut Ball...

Perhaps not so crazy, but still odd to me, is fruit that has been frozen with added sugar. Isn't fruit sweet enough, without adding sugar to it?
