Prepare your taste-buds, put your liver on alert and maybe call a doctor, because deep-fried booze is the food of the future. 

Well, possibly not, but it's certainly a thing now, at least, after a couple in Preston have come up with a way to get you drunk while you eat deep-fried snacks. While for many a regular Saturday night includes having a few drinks and then something deep fried, this could prove a hit with those who are really pressed for time. 

The invention comes courtesy of John and Corrine Clarkson, who used the age old recipe of sherry trifle to find a way to get drink into the deep fat fryer, which essentially means that you're eating booze-infused sponge cake in batter. That description alone is enough to make your doctor wince. 

You may remember John and Corrine from their last endeavour, the five-foot tall 30,000 calorie burger dubbed "The Piescraper". We're still not sure whether to label them as mad food scientists or culinary geniuses, but either way they're certainly open to new things. Their inventions proved popular at a food festival recently, where they sold them for £3 a go, and they were cleaned out fairly quickly.

Their chip shop doesn't have a licence to sell alcohol, so customers can bring their own booze and have it fried there and then, meaning there are endless possibilities for those out there who want a...well whatever it is these are. Boozey cake bites?
