Don't laugh. They already have fried ice cream, fried candy bars, fried Twinkies, fried spaghetti, and battered REfried donuts (and donut holes) at the State Fair. Fried air seems the logical next step. Why dilute the crispy oily batter goodness with something else?

No that would be Funnel Cakes. But this reduces those to mere topping for Fried Twinkies!

Forty-eight hours of continuous driving, couple hundred bucks for gas, fifteen or twenty bucks admission to the fair, buck or two for a fried Twinkie, increased insurance rates after your heart attack...

Well, Texas has always been ahead of the curve on fried junk food.

I think in Texas they buttered them before they fried them.

Deep frying them must add at least a day or two to that. When something is so good, why let it go any sooner than absolutely necessary?

People like to make fun of Wisconsin's love affair with beer, brats, and cheese curds... but that is healthy in comparison to the wierd foods being consumed at this year's Minnesota State fair including chocolate covered bacon... mmmm.

Damn fried Twinkies, the dessert portion of the triple by-pass special. The blood coursing though their harden arteries can only pass though the blockage one corpuscle at a time .

Yes I've had a deep fried Twinkie on a stick. Pretty good too.

So is the deep friend candy bar on stick. Choice of Snickers, and two others. I shared the Snickers.
I've had alligator; shrimp' fruit; cheese on a stick and a corn dog on a stick. Pronto pup on a stick is a flour batter and stinks. Yes there is a war at MN'S fair over which one is better.
I haven't had the deep dried pickles yet.
No I haven't had the mac'n'cheese, spaghetti or (yes this a real item) fried bacon dipped in chocolate on a stick. A friend gave her cousin a candy bar that had bacon in it. Everyone in their family including my friend loved it.
MN'S State Fair has 56 food items all on a stick.
Actually all of those food items on a stick make sense. MN is the second largest state fair. Texas' is bigger. However we have a ton of people everyday that attend. So food on a stick makes sense.-

In Long Beach and Hollywood, Calif., there is (or used to be) a food stand called Oki Dog. It was a hot dog wrapped in a bean-filled tortilla, then I think there was something to do with Teri Yaki before they put that mess in a bun. But hey, at midnight people will eat almost anything. The lines were long.

From that menu, sounds like every attendee counts as two.

Not for the sticks, of course. But OK I'm biased, my favorite Fair food is BBQed corn. And yes, I throw myself on the mercy of the Propeller Court, I DO indulge in the butter.

I knew the OC Sheriff's deputy who used to coordinate security for the Orange County Fair (maybe still does? Hi Larry).

His best piece of advice was never to eat the fried egg rolls on a stick after the first week, because the vendors never changed the oil during the six-week run of the Fair.
The case for biodeisel!
