Another year, another thread, and another state fair full of delicious and disgusting new food concoctions that I can't wait to shove down my throat.
I've had several offerings over the years -- deep fried coke, turkey testicles, chocolate covered bacon, chocolate covered corn dog, and the doughnut burger, to name a few. The biggest disappointments being the deep fried coke and chocolate covered corn dog. The deep fried coke was nothing more than bits of funnel cake in a Solo cup with coke syrup drizzled over the top. The chocolate covered corn dog was a regular corn dog coated with a messy slopping of Hershey's syrup. I was expecting something like a chocolate covered banana.
This year, besides the usual helpings of beer and Fesperman's Peppered Beef Jerky (the best jerky next to homemade), I'm excited to try the deep fried chili dogs, chocolate-dipped pb&j, beer-battered deep fried bacon, bacon chocolate milkshake/bacon smoothie and/or bacon sundae, the deep fried bacon brownie, and one or more of the Frenchee offerings. Another thing I'm excited about is the tip I received just this morning. Apparently, if you slip the vendor an extra buck or two, they'll dip a cooked corn dog in batter and double fry it, making a huge crusty corn dog.
So, what artery clogging treats are you guys looking forward to cramming past your lips?
