So, the State Fair happened. Actually it is happening now, but we – the Wulfs and I – went on opening day. We looked at stuff, but mostly we ate, as per usual. Let’s see if I can remember everything we had.
- mini cinnamon rolls
- footlong hotdog
- mini donuts
- three flavors of beef jerky/sticks
- fried green tomatoes
- 1919 root beer
- bacon wrapped shrimp (on a stick)
- two beer flights
- bloomin’ onion
- Tremblay’s chocolates
- all-you-can-drink milk
- Turkey to Go sandwiches
- sundaes from the dairy building
- lobster mac & cheese
- coffee/tea break at one point
- cheesecake on a stick
- dosant/cronut
- porketta wings
- sausage on a stick
- cannoli
- double bacon corn dog
- english toffee fudge puppy
- more beer
- sweet corn ice cream
- cream puffs
- bull bites
- some kind of delicious sandwich
- second footlong
I think that’s the complete list? Close to it, at least. My vote for best new fair food goes to Mancini’s. They serve the sausage on a stick and the porketta wings, plus a bunch of other probably wonderful meaty items. Skip the bacon wrapped shrimp. The lobster mac was pasta, a little bit of lobster, and what we suspect was nacho cheese. Meh.
I am already looking forward to next year.
fearlessly, myself.
