What's the most revolting yet popular food? I thought it would take a lot to beat Quebec's poutine, but the Iowa State Fair this year introduces deep fried butter on a stick.

When Sarah Palin, who visited the fair, was asked if she was after votes, she is reported to have said, “I’m looking for fried butter on a stick and a fried Twinkie as soon as I can get there".

Figures.
