The final chapter of the grand series on the wonderful MN State Fair!
Are you ready for this? Yeah, I think you are. You've earned it!
C is for Consume(ing)
Food!!!! Pretty much my favorite fair subject eva :) Here is a list of the best fair foods out there (with my personal bias, of course), and those that I will be consuming in less than 24 hours:
1. Pronto Pups - Read my lips: These ARE NOT corn dogs. I'll be honest, I don't really like corn dogs. I've never really liked them. I love hot dogs, chili cheese dogs, and even the occasional macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. But corn dogs? No thanks! So, up until I met my studly hubby, I avoided Pronto Pups like the plague. Until he convinced me that PP's were not corn dogs... They are, in fact, made with regular flour, not corn flour, and lemme tell you, that makes all of the difference in the world. Looooooove me some PP's! :)
2. Mini Doughnuts - This should be a duh, but hey, you can never be too careful! I feel it necessary to point out, as the question has been asked multiple times - you must NOT get Tiny Tim's mini doughnuts. They suck. Their sugar granule mix is too large so it doesn't coat the doughnuts well and the doughnuts are usually small and over-fried. I highly recommend Tom Thumb's mini doughnuts... you will not be disappointed with these little round pieces of heaven!
3. Fresh French Fries - Ok, there are many different kinds of fries at the fair. And most of them are delicious in their own way. However, if you are looking for the best overall standard fry, one that doesn't remind you of McDonalds or any other fast food (though I do LOVE those), these are the fries for you! I should note "Fresh French Fries" is the name of the booth, not the name of the food, lest you be confused :)
4. Sweet Martha's Cookies - Alright, I'm gonna be straight with you on this guys. Inside of the fair, these cookies are the absolute best thing you've ever tasted when paired with the next item (all you can drink ice cold milk!) Outside of the fair/when these suckers get cold, they're moderate to decent. Is it magic fair dust that makes them taste so good on a hot, sticky day? The world may never know... But I do know this, eat these lil' guys quick before you leave the fair!
5. Milk Truck - Oh.My.Gosh. This is the best milk you've ever tasted. And never-ending, ice-cold glasses of amazingness. 'Nough said.
6. Cheese Curds - I feel like everyone knows this, but hey, Wisconsin has a few positive points, right? But then you have to factor in the Packers...
7. Deep Fried Pickles - These are AWESOME! They're pickles, they're deep fried, I mean, come on. However, I have had pretty good ones at restaurants, so if you can't have 'em at the fair, at least try 'em somewhere else!
8. Cream Puffs - D'lish. Yup.
9. Flowerin' Onion - These are ggggggggggggggreat! But also, if you can't have 'em up, the "bloomin' onion" at Outback Steakhouse is pretty great too!
10. Scotch Egg - Uh. Amazeballs. Just sayin'.
11. Grilled Corn On The Cob - Yes, I eat corn. Yes, I like grilled corn. But at the fair? This can't be beat!
12. Ice Cream Cones - Only from the dairy building! Bonus, eat it while you're lookin' at the super creepy butterheads!
13. Deep Fried Candy Bars - Obviously this is a staple, though, I will admit, they're not for everyone :)
14. Funnel Cake - Where else can you get these babies? Nowhere! Gimme some delicious powdered sugar please!
15. Beer-On-A-Stick - Ok. The MN State Fair does too much of one thing, and one thing only. The catch phrase "on a stick". But this one earns it's name - try it and you won't be disappointed! :)
And, I would be remiss if I didn't include a few others...
Honorable mentions: Cotton candy, giant pretzels, and poutine. Mmmmm, mmm, good!
Alright, that wraps up our MN State Fair fun! Hope you enjoyed! We are off to enjoy the fair and all of it's glory tomorrow - hope you come and have a blast! :)
