VOA标准英语2010年-Deep-Fried Fun Flourishes at State Fai
时间:2019-01-14 作者:英语课 分类:VOA标准英语2010年(十)月
The North Carolina State Fair is under way in the capital city of Raleigh. If you were there, you'd see lots of exhibits about good nutrition, and could sample wholesome 1 farm dishes made from healthful recipes.
But most of the other fair-goers would be pigging out across the way at the concession 2 stands - a heaven on earth for gluttons 3.

Deep-fried fatty foods are part of the fair-going experience.
We're not just talking greasy 4 French fries, sugary cotton candy, and caramel-dipped apples. These folks make fattening 5 items even more artery-clogging by deep-frying them in lard or oil.
Here are just some of the foods offered for sale at the North Carolina State Fair:
Spicy 6, deep-fried turkey wings, deep-fried chocolate pie, deep-fried pumpkin 7 pie, and deep-fried chocolate-chip cookies. Somewhere on the grounds, you'll probably also find the old state-fair staple 8 - deep-fried ice cream, or maybe deep-fried pickles 9.

Somewhere, buried beneath the glop are the Fritos in this Frito Pie.
Or you can try chocolate-covered Twinkie logs. Twinkies are spongy cakes shaped like gold ingots, filled with a sugary cream-like substance. No dairy products in them! Add the chocolate covering, and call your dentist in the morning.
Consider deep-fried bacon-and-cheese mashed 10 potato bites. Or honey buns: rolled dough 11 spread with sugar, nuts and honey, and then - you guessed it - deep-fried.
Before washing those down with some sweet lemonade, make room for a fried Frito pie. There are already about 500 calories in a small bag of these salty corn chips. At the fair, they crunch 12 'em up into a pie crust, fill it with who-knows-what, and, of course, fry it in the ever-present vat 13 of oil.

Take your classic American junk food - Twinkies - cover them with chocolate, and you have . . . a gut-buster for the ages.
VOA's agriculture reporter, Steve Baragona, normally writes about, eats, and even grows healthful foods. But he's a sucker for fried food from the fair.
His eyes lit up when he heard about this year's special in North Carolina: Krispy Kreme burgers. Krispy Kremes are airy doughnuts, deep-fried and doused 14 with sugary glaze 15. Put one on each side of a fried burger, and you've got a cardiology classic.
I can't quite picture the taste of those two together, Steve said. But dip 'em in batter 16 and deep fry 'em, and you have something there!
