The Minnesota State Fair has announced the new foods that can be found at this years fair. Last year I did a review of fair food, but it looks like I will have more work to do this year!
- Chocolate covered jalapeño peppers
- Not sure about this, but I\’m willing to try it…
- Mexican horchata (cold drink made of rice, almonds, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar)
- I\’ve heard of horchata, and I\’ve heard good things, but if there isn\’t alcohol in it, it\’s not on my fair beverage radar
- Jamaican jerk fries
- Borrrr-ring
- Crab fritters
- Ok, now you\’re speaking my language. Deep fried crab is in my state fair wheelhouse.
- Northwoods salad (a portable caprese salad)
- Salad? Really? Even if it\’s on a stick, this new food is DOA.
- Dirt dessert (Oreo cookies, vanilla pudding, whipped cream, cream cheese and gummy worms)
- Sounds yummy, but this is something I can make at home… not worth the precious stomach space at the State Fair
- Sweet-corn ice cream
- I don\’t have any desire to eat sweet corn ice cream, but it doesn\’t get much more \”state fair\” than this. I gotta try it!
- Coushari rice with lentils
- Could be tasty… but at a middle eastern restaurant, not the State Fair
- Grilled chicken pita
- Quite pedestrian…
- Deep-fried cookie dough
- We\’ve had deep fried cookies (although I curse Axel\’s for taking them off their menu last year), so I\’m ready for this!
- Terijaki chicken on-a-stick
- Yawn…
- Pretzel dog on-a-stick
- I am so down with this… in fact, I plan to have two!
- Grilled Yankee apple pie and chocolate sandwich (brioche filled with apples and spices covered in chocolate, grilled and topped with powdered sugar)
- Mmmmm… sounds like State Fair breakfast to me
- Breakfast lollipop (sausage patty deep-fried on-a-stick with a side of maple syrup)
- Ok, *this* sounds like a State Fair breakfast!
The fair is only 76 days away! I\’m hungry and ready!
