Fried Coca-Cola & Skunk Pig Tonite in Texas
If you’re into bizarre foods, don’t miss Bizarre Foods‘ Andrew Zimmern tonight at 9 p.m. on the Travel Channel, as he saunters into Texas and samples skunk pig at Laredo ranch, freeze-dried shrimp cocktail at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alligator kabob, frozen liquid nitrogen dessert, and fried Coca-Cola at the Texas State Fair in Dallas.
“Fried Coke is frozen Coca-Cola-flavored batter which is deep-fried and then topped with Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a cherry.”
Zimmern — the Bizarre Foods’ host who’s visited 22 countries and 8 states — is a food writer, dining critic, TV personality and chef, and has written for many national magazines and publications.
Zimmern says the Lone Star State and its food is not only “larger than life, but unusual and interesting enough to fill an entire episode of his culinary show.”
