It looked and tasted like squiggles of deep-fried batter, with a faint finish of Coke flavor. I'm sure someone skilled in molecular gastronomy could come up with a more compelling rendition, but you can't expect that much in a food park at the fair!the Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237889061300956862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831547473305935521.post-46531544688379574042011-09-27T22:42:00.524-04:002011-09-27T22:42:00.524-04:00@The Gardener.
