As if fair food couldn't get more exciting - more deep fried foods!
It all started so innocently, didn't it? Some guy speared a hotdog with a stick, dipped it in corn batter, and deep-fried it into a corndog. Now at stat fairs across the country, a corndog is just so...boring. We've got everything from deep-fried cheesecake to Coca-Cola. Remember the winning food in the Texas State Fair food competition last year? A Coke flavored batter deep-fried and served with cola syrup! Dip anything in batter, throw it into hot oil, and you could have a prize-winning food.
And it seems that every year, it gets crazier. At the Texas State Fair, which doesn't even start until the end of September, there are seven entries into the food competition, some of which are reasonable given history, like the Fried Cookie Dough (one step before deep frying an actual cookie, like an Oreo), and others that are just weird, like Fried Guacamole Bites:
- Deep Fried Latte
- Fried Cookie Dough
- Fried Guacamole Bites
- Country Pride Peach Cobbler on a Stick
- Fernie's Fried Chili Frito Burrito
- B.W.'s Original Fried Banana Pudding
- Mama's Fried Sweet Potato Pie
Food always tastes better when served on a stick
Is there anything people won't put on a stick and call it fair food? I do love the way the American food culture embraces impaling food prior to eating.
Personally, I've always been a fan of food on a stick. When I was 9 years old, I spent the summer in Hawaii with my aunt, uncle and cousins. In addition to teaching me about the wonders of Hawaiian cuisine (spam, white rice and some excellent banana pancakes), that summer was when I was first introduced to the fast food chain, Hot Dog on a Stick. I thought it was the height of entertainment to watch the girls in the ridiculously tall stripes hats create cornbread encased hot dogs and sticks of cheese. From that moment on, I was fascinated by foods that were served on a stick. To this day I enjoy corn dogs, kabobs, popsicles and skewers of any and all kinds. I do believe I need to visit the Minnesota State Fair!
