Meatballs (or at least the American version) came from Europe though, right? Although according to Wikipedia, they originate from Italian immigrants. Doesn't Germany have its own version of meatballs though?
Edit: Ah, never mind, not meatballs. I've never had fried butter, is it good?
Also Iowa in a naked apron is sure great, even in a kinda-chibi form.
I heard from one friend who is a Marine that in ECW training you burn so many calories from just trying to stay warm that you actually get issued sticks of butter to eat along with your rations.
Also, frying in a naked apron is just asking to get taihaed

I heard about fried milk before (actually it's a traditional dessert in my country's northern regions), but fried butter? That caught me off guard for sure... ...I would try it though.
Well, to me, that looks like too much fat. And oil. And cholesterol. And this is coming from the country that makes deep-fried chicken and pork for lunch.
When I heard this was a thing like two years ago, it certainly struck me as weird (the news anchors reporting about it certainly thought it was). I've just come to assumed fair food being weird and likely to kill you as being the norm.
As far as I can tell, the entire thing seems to be a dare to find the most concentrated form of cholesterol possible. They'll deep fry a Snickers bar and wrap it in sausage, then wrap the sausage in a pancake made with bacon batter.
Amusingly, the Iowa state fair is where that originated, (not that the USS Iowa has ANYTHING in common with Iowa but her name...) and it's also (in)famous for it's life-sized statue of a cow made of butter... but really, it's only famous because Iowa caucuses are the first presidential primary state, so every four years people treat these babbling lunatics as oracles for the direction the nation is headed.
Seriously, though, we need to get Ido a plane ticket to New Orleans so he can get some "American food" that is REAL food and isn't horrendously disgusting.

... Damnit, now every time I see Iowa do ANYTHING, I'm going to be hearing one of those satirical lines like, "America, FUCK YEAH!" even if she's just going to the toilet. (TAKING A DUMP! FUCK YEAH!)

I hate to break this to you.... but they're most of the way there already.
Having been to both the Minnesota and Iowa State Fairs, I can definitely confirm deep fried butter. And deep fried candy bars. And deep fried ice cream, beer, coca cola, cheese, pickles, pizza by the slice, whole cheeseburgers, and mayonaise. Kinda like bacon wrapped everything.

General Knoxx also mentioned hemorrhoids wrapped in bacon too, to be literal.
