And, Finally, Deep Fried Oreos

This was not done on purpose, it just happened: a couple of weeks ago, I tried Coke Oreos, which proved out to be... quite bad. Then, last week, as I watching the Collide-O-Scope show at the Crocodile, I discovered that the little bar at the bottom of the Crocodile had a secret menu item: deep fried Oreos (indeed, it was not listed on their menu, someone at the show told me about them). I had heard many times before about them but I had never actually seen them, so I jumped at the opportunity to finally try them out.

It was a better experience than when I tried the Coke Oreos. Still, though, it's something weird. As you can see in the picture, it's pretty simple: a regular Oreo is covered in sweet batter and tossed into a frier. When it's done, a couple of them are put in a paper bowl and dusted with sugar, with some icing on the side in case you think that, somehow, this is not sweet enough.

As you can imagine, it tastes sweet. Because of the frying process, the Oreo is no longer crunchy as it normally is, but instead it's somewhat mushy. You end up with something soft and warm, very sweet and with some Oreo flavors in the middle. Put some icing on it and after eating two of them you're sure that's enough. Not a bad experience, but it's not something that I would get out of my way to do it again. Nevertheless, if you have the chance, it's one of those things that you should try at least once in your life.
