194 - Stroke!


The art technique of creating a line that sticks to the boundary of a selected area is called a "stroke". 

In this case, the selected area is a picture I took while at the fair: deep fried jellybeans on the left, deep fried Oreo cookies on the right.  Stroke, indeed.

The goodies are fried in a sort of fritter batter.  The sign at the food kisok claimed to use a similar batter recipe as for Amish funnel cakes.  Something tells me the Amish don't fry jellybeans and cookies, though.

Despite what your arteries might say, the food tastes awesome.  The fried jellybeans taste a lot like the filling for an ultrasweet jelly doughnut, where the jelly attacks your fillings like battery acid.  Most yummy, though.

The fried Oreos melt under the heat and become very gooey, especially the white sweet fatty stuff inside.  It sort of tastes like a smooth chocolate cream marshmallow profiterole.  Very rich and sweet.

Both treats are highly addictive, undoubtedly unhealthy in any large quantity, and might even be better tasting than Those Little Doughnuts...
