I’d written earlier about a certain delicacy that I remember from my days on the Great Plains.

Proving that this enjoyment isn’t limited to that geographic area, the folks of Elderon WI have a deep-fried version of that particular gastronomic delight; the festival is an annual affair, 12 years running.

And one comment from a festival-goer says:

“Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you’re eating, it’s just like eating any other food, and it tastes good,” Buster Hoffman said.

And he’s exactly right. The best line, however:

Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They’re not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said.

“After a few beers, you can’t really tell the difference,” Joubert said.

Beer. Is there anything it can’t do?
