Nothing particularly unusual about this; 'chemically cooked' (as contrasted
with 'heat-cooked') is an accurate statement, but realise that the
'chemical' is a moderately concentrated citric acid, normally in the form
of lime juice. I've never actually had it, but that's more because I've
never been to a restaurant that serves it than because of any inherent
opposition to the idea.

My blood sugar went up fifty points just reading this... bleagh. But I know
people who would enjoy something like this as a sweet...

Which is pretty much anything, including just taking dollops of the batter
and frying it...
