Reading this article make my chest hurt.
And you probably call yourself a foodie. It could be profound and you’ll never know.
The end of the video was not homoerotic at all.
Not a whole lot different from ice cream which is basically the same thing in a different form.
And that looks a bit less than a stick you’d from the grocery store.
I ate a stick of butter once, on a dare. Christ, I had the most appalling runs of all time afterwards.
Like the ortolan, the only proper thing is to eat this under a hood.
@5 Ice cream is rarely above 14% butterfat. Butter is always above 80% butterfat. It’s pretty different.
My instincts tell me to chant “U-S-A!”, but I’ve got a hunch the Dutch are very close to applying on-a-stick fry technology to mayonnaise.
@8 But that thing is not just butter. There is sugar and flavorings too. Just like ice cream albeit not all mixed up.
I eat this kind of crap at the fair every year. Once a year I eat funnel cake, greasy Polish sausages smothered in fried onions and peppers, and deep fried monstrosities like candy bars and Twinkies. Sure I’m a Midwest housewife so the stereotype demands it, but also, it’s only once a year. I have made the conscious choice to indulge in terrible artery-clogging garbage out of carnival trailers once a year, and to forego the chips and pretzels and donuts and ice cream the rest of the year. So mock our farmland fried butter if you must, but at least admit that the State Fair isn’t a daily occurrence.
and if you even hint that such people should not be eligible for heart and liver transplants at Medicare’s expense the GOP will get all death panel on your ass
I think you guys are all closet tea partiers.

@10 A stick of butter is 4oz. An average scoop of ice cream is about 8oz. A stick of butter being 80% butterfat is over 3oz fat. The ice cream is only about 1oz fat assuming the ice cream is 15% fat.
They might be essentially the same root ingredients but the difference in total fat consumed is huge.
That made my arteries harden just to read it. This is why we are fat.
@14, the guy in the video said it’s 1/8 lb of butter, not 1/4, so that lowers your fat to 1.5 oz from 3. Plus, the entire “food” is mostly the batter, which was @10’s point. Ice cream is not all fat, but the butter stick is not all butter, so by volume it doesn’t have the same fat content as a plain stick of butter would have. But total weight aside, all we have now is one half stick of butter standing at 1.5 oz fat vs one scoop of ice cream at 1 oz of fat. Half an ounce of fat difference, assuming you don’t eat more than one scoop of ice cream in a sitting. A double scoop would get you more fat than the fried butter, by your calculations.
@16 Fair point, I didn’t watch the video. I just assumed they were using a standard stick of butter.
I’d still rather eat ice cream.
