Before the deep-fried Oreo ceased its turn in the spotlight (read: 8 Best Boardwalk Foods in the U.S.), there's a new deep-fried marvel in town: beer.
It all started with a man named Mark Zable, who'd been dreaming of the delicacy for three years. Though he won't comment on ingredients used, we do know that the beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, "pretzel-like dough," and dunked in 375-degree oil just long enough for the confection to remain alcoholic (so much so that the Texas Alcoholic Commission has already ruled that people must be aged over 21 to try it, according to the Telegraph). See photo here.
The ravioli-looking snack will be unveiled at the Texas State Fair's fried food competition; we predict it will win, for both obvious reasons and because it's, allegedly, the first successful attempt to fry liquid.
