Who's coming with me??

Contrarian

I would but it's too far away. I enjoy eating foods on sticks.

Deep fried nutella? WTF.

Norfolk and way.

madworld1

Yes, please. It's only once a year.

pastryari

So jealous.

Sure, am I staying with you?

Sure....as long as you follow my tradition in which all female guests (who are unrelated to me and over the age of 18) must maintain nekkidness at all times.

I might have to go to this.

And here I thought it was that all guests must sleep with the host. Phew, nekkidness I can handle.

That's a lot of fried stuff!!

You won me over with fried golden millionaire pie, though!

The only one I didn't see at the Minnesota State Fair was the millionaire pie, but I did have mini doughnut beer though.

KANGOOJUMPS

I don't go to the fairs, but last one my brother went to he said he had fried butter. How exactly do you fry butter? :huh:

"Destination America" network has a cooking show competition dedicated strictly to State Fair-like fried foods. Food porn at it's finest! <grabs extra napkins>

Stick it in the deep fryer, like everything else.

The next evolution of this concept is fried lipo fat. You go in, get it sucked out, pop it in the fryer, and shove it back in your mouth.

stealthq

In.

I always go for the Belgian waffle loaded with strawberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. Last year, I had two back-to-back. This year I'd like to experiment with some of the new stuff. And the waffle. I'm not skipping the waffle.

Right, but how do u get the butter to not melt?

Unless you're female and hot. Then we can find other accommodations for you.

I've always wondered how they manage to fry everything. Wouldn't it get gooey?
