"Paula Deen and the State Fair of Texas better watch out \u2014 the fried-butter battlefield just got a little more crowded. Battered and fried whole sticks of butter are one of the new foods being offered at the Iowa State Fair, which begins today and runs through August 21. This latest feat of condensed calorie consumption, for which all state fairs across the U.S. are known, is being undertaken by Fyfe Concessions to celebrate 100 years of an Iowa State Fair tradition: the Butter Cow.   Carved from 600 pounds of butter and constructed over a structure of wood, metal, and wire mesh, the Butter Cow would butter 19,200 slices of toast and would take an average person two lifetimes to consume, according to the Iowa State Fair web site. More on Delish: Fabulous Fried Food Recipes A fitting tribute to butter-fat artistry, Fried Butter on a Stick consists of an entire stick of chilled butter that&amp;#039;s been dipped in a honey-cinnamon batter, deep-fried until golden, and drizzled with a simple sugar glaze. Initial reports from people who&amp;#039;ve tasted this glorious, greasy mess indicate that the result tastes a bit like a buttery, hollowed-out doughnut or cinnamon bun, except with more rivers of melted butter dripping down your wrist. We&amp;#039;re waiting on exact nutritional information from Fyfe Concessions, but our best guess would be the sum total of one stick of butter (810 calories, 92 grams of fat) plus one glazed doughnut stick (226 calories, 13 grams of fat): 1,036 calories and 105 grams of fat. Intense! Would you try it? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
