I will not eat any of these things. I'm a glutton for trying decadent stuff from time to time, but good lord. Same goes for those insane burgers with donuts for buns and stuff like that. Fascinating, but no thanks.
Deep fried butter sounds grossly unhealthy, but I watched it and saw they mixed it with cream cheese, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and seasoned bread crumbs, so it's not just eating pure fried butter as the name might suggest. Oh, I'm sure it's still too high in fat and you should never eat those things regularly or in quantity, but I might actually try one if it were handy. Perhaps with sufficent bread crumbs it's more like buttered toast.
The deep fried peanut butter cup, OTOH, didn't really appeal to me. Didn't even look good. Pass.

Cultivated peanuts are native to the eastern foothills of the Bolivian Andes. They were mashed to become a pasty substance by the Incas almost 3000 years ago, although they combined it with cocoa and it was not as smooth as modern peanut butter. A number of peanut paste products have been used over the centuries and the distinction between peanut paste and peanut butter is not always clear in ordinary use. Modern processing machines allow for very smooth products to be made, which often include vegetable oils to aid in its spreadability. John Harvey Kellogg patented a "Process of Preparing Nut Meal" in 1895 and used peanuts, although he boiled the peanuts rather than roasting them. Kellogg served peanut butter to the patients at his Battle Creek Sanitarium. The other candidates for inventor of modern peanut butter are George Bayle, a snack-food maker in St. Louis, Missouri, who claimed to be making peanut butter (with roasted peanuts) as early as 1894, and George Washington Carver, who is often credited as the inventor. Early peanut-butter-making machines were developed by Joseph Lambert, who had worked at John Harvey Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium, and Ambrose Straub.
January 24 is National Peanut Butter Day in the United States. I didn't know that.

But can you guess why he served pb in said facility?
It doesn't. We're talking about someone with screwy ideas about the genesis of sexual desire, here... (who also believed masturbation caused illness, madness, and death).

I've seen it around enough that I might very well try something like that if it was it was in front of me (I hear about it, but it rarely gets offered anywhere that I would go) but I suspect I would never have interest in eating another again.
As for teh hating peanut butter in England thing, what the hell is wrong with them !?!

Why do fair vendors deep-fry candy bars and Coca-Cola syrup and such when they've already got funnel cakes and fried gator-on-a-stick?
