Like these.
That's a 32 oz bucket of fries, smothered in malt vinegar and salt. I managed to down three cups of these babies in a 13 hour period. I wasn't too keen on sharing them either.
One of things I like best about the food booths is how colorful are they are.
Minnesota is the home of SPAM. I zoomed for this picture. I hate the stuff and did not want to get close enough to even smell it.
It seems that everything is fried.
And what is the fair without cheese curds? The lines are always horrendous at this booth.
This has got to be one of my favorite booths.
I had dill pickle slices, breaded and deep-fried, covered with a spicy Cajun sauce with a side of Ranch for dipping. Dee-lish-ous! Of course, I put dill pickle slices on pizza so this is a natural for me.
Skipped this one. Just couldn't get my head around eating these anywhere but by a campfire.
The smells coming off this grill were almost overwhelming tempting.
B tried this one. It was just too funny. They wrap a pizza around a stick and bake it. Of course, once it starts to cool the whole thing topples over. I could make an anology, but I won't!
I didn't eat this but I took the picture for one of my readers. If I had written down the names of the owners, I would have asked for a free sample!
So here's the final tally for a 13 hour period in the hot sun:
3 buckets of french fries
1 order of deep-fried dill pickle slices
1 cheese curd (not an order, just one! they are not high on my list)
1 bite of giant cinammon roll with sweetened butter
1 hot dog
1 bite pork chop on a stick (i wasn't the only one not keen on sharing my food!)
3 bottles of water
2 almost a foot long hotdog (actually 11-3/4 inches)
1 ear roasted corn
1 bite (that I almost spit out) of chocolate covered bacon
1 bucket of Sweet Martha's Cookies (spit with 4 other people)
Not so much really. Just lots of carbs and fat!

Ok, I should not have read this before having breakfast, YUM!! I really miss dill pickles and LOVE them deep fried! What a fantastic array of artery clogging goodness! I guess it's a good thing that the fair is only once a year, I wouldn't want to see the results of eating like that everyday!
Great photos!
What is hot dish on a stick?
I LOVE fried dill pickles - I get them whenever I can, which is not often.
Thanks for the picture Wayne!! I've never been up to the fair to see their setup, but I did spend last summer helping them prepare 30,000 "Hot Dish on A Stick's." Never wanted to look at another one!!
How do you stay so thin???? I want to know your secret.
I think my stomach just went into peptic shock.

I ate alot of the same things at our Ag fair recently, but would add coconut chocolate almond ice cream cone and fried clams. Had Nodines sausage & peppers & onions 3 days in a row & the ice cream for dessert!
How could you miss the chocolate covered bacon??? That was my favorite fair food this year.
I'm very impressed with the 3 buckets of fries- I didn't have room for any, but I did enjoy the deep fried pickles.
jamqueen: guts of steel?
Ninjamom: I did have the bacon. How could I forget to mention that! And chocolate chip cookies! Better fix that list! (here's a little secret...start with the fries!!!!)
Hot Dish On a Stick. Start by cutting tator tots and meatballs in half. Add these to a stick...tator to, meatball, tator tot, meatball. I think they are then deep fried and served with creme of mushroom soup
thanks Trixie - I'll think I'd pass on the hot dish on a stick. I'll take 2 orders of deep fried dill pickles instead :)
