This is all the stuff I ate at the State Fair this year (in no particular order):




*Reuben sandwich
* Fire & Ice - A pineapple ring is battered and deep-fried, then topped with banana-flavored whipped cream that's been frozen in liquid nitrogen. The smoking concoction is ladled with strawberries and syrup.
* Deep Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
* Chicken Fried Bacon – Thick and peppery Farm Pac® bacon is seasoned, double-dipped in a special batter and breading and deep-fried. Served with a creamy side of ranch or honey mustard sauce.
* Fried Chocolate Truffles – A silky-smooth, handmade, dark chocolate truffle is rolled in cocoa powder before being battered and deep-fried. The melting chocolate goodness is dusted in cinnamon, sugar and cocoa powder.
* Fernie's All-American Fried Grilled Cheese Sandwich – An American classic with a State Fair twist. Two slices of white bread filled with a blend of American and cheddar cheeses, dipped in an egg and milk batter and lightly coated with panko bread crumbs for extra crispness. Served with a side of shoestring potato sticks, a pickle spear and tomato soup dipping sauce.
* Chicken and Biscuit
* Fletcher's Jalepeno and Cheese Filled Corn Dog
* Texas Fried Jelly Belly Beans – Jelly Belly Beans are rolled in funnel cake batter and fried to a crunch.
* Fletcher's Original Corn Dog
* Draught Root Beer
* Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Waffle Balls – Plump fresh strawberries covered in a thick chocolate shell are dipped in a sweet, waffle batter and deep-fried. Dusted with powdered sugar and served on a stick.
* Deep Fried Corn on the Cob, with hot sauce
* Fresh Pumpkin Bread
* Fried Banana Split – A mixture of banana and honey peanut butter is rolled in balls, battered and deep-fried and topped with whipped cream and a cherry
* Deep Fried S'mores – Marshmallow cream and chocolate chips are sandwiched between two graham crackers, dipped in a feather-light batter and fried to a golden brown.
* Miniature Ice Cream Cone (they give these out for free in the Food and Fiber Building)
Yet I left wanting more...
