Your annual slideshow (warning! Slideshow!) of rodeo food (warning! Slideshow!) is here.
Warning: this does include photos of the chocolate covered pickle and the pulled pork sundae. Also, did I mention that this is a slideshow?
(Wouldn’t fried beef jerky be kind of dry? Or is that the point; after eating a big plate of fried beef jerky, you really need one of those $12 beers?)
“Top 10 New Foods at the 2010 State Fairs“, by way of No Silence Here.
I confess, the deep-fried cheddar-bacon mashed potatoes on a stick actually look pretty good to me.
On the other hand, the original tornado potato doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but this year’s modification sounds awful. When I think of great tastes that taste great together, my list does not include “potato” and “chocolate”.
And then, of course, there’s the number 1 item on the list, which you may remember from our previous coverage.
Breakdown of the list: two items from the Texas State Fair, three items from the Minnesota State Fair, two from the San Diego County Fair, one from the “San Diego State Fair” (could this be a typo? The link to “My Burning Kitchen” indicates yes), and one each from the Indiana and Wisconsin State Fairs.
Edited to add: Speaking of “My Burning Kitchen”, “deep-fried butter in both garlic and cinnamon sugar flavor“? So not only does deep-fried butter actually exist, it comes in flavors?
“What flavor is it?” “It’s butter, innit. It’s bloody butter, it’s not any bloody flavor!”
