Eat softly and carry a big stick: Minnesota State Fair food

minnesota state fair In a lot of areas around the US, late August and early September are State Fair season, and while we're sure that there other exciting activities going on all over the fairgrounds, we Slashfoodies pretty much just care about the food.

Same is true for Belly du Jour, who made a trip to the Minnesota State Fair and created the first-ever (we think) video catalog of all the fair foods on a stick, the third and final episode of thier series on fair foods. Sure, we've seen corn dogs, kebabs, and even desserts like a wedge of cheesecake on a stick, but who knew you could eat macaroni and cheese or spaghetti on a stick? Don't worry, not everything is artery-clogging - I think I saw some fruit in there somewhere.

The video log is after the jump, and in full filmmaker style, Belly du Jour even has their outtakes!

I used to serve them (minus the stick)when I waitressed at the Trade Winds Central dining room in Tulsa, Ok. thirty-five years ago. They were on the breakfast menu as 'Pigs in a blanket'and came three to a plate. It was actually pancakes that the chef wrapped around the link. You chould have seen all the ceo's and bank presidents chowing down on them at six o'clock in the morning.
