28. Questions first...

are they filled with "creme" or cream?

Oh, and how big are they?

Can I pay someone to ship me a few?

thanks

[mysuzuki2]

31. I don't know the difference between creme and cream

it is whipped creme or however you spell it. They are huge and incredibly messy. I don't think they would survive the journey unfortunately. You would have to come here.

16. Beavertails

Canadian invention - basically a thin pizza-like donut, usually dusted with brown sugar and cinnamon, I like this version with a squirt of lemon juice.

[ohiosmith]

21. Had many at the PNE!

[JBoy]

26. I'd like to be the guy that owns this franchise

On the ski hill at Whistler. Best place ever to have a hot beavertail, if you can brave the lineup. The place is always packed.

[ohiosmith]

27. Last time I was at Whistler, I didn't get farther than the Savage Beagle!

[YankeyMCC]

33. Looks like the Fried Dough

In fairs all over New England

[mysuzuki2]

22. Footlongs!

Hot dogs have always been my comfort food. Yes, I know what they're made of so shut up already. When I was a kid in the 50s we would always go to the Mn state fair. One year when I was about 8 I went with my very indulgent grandmother. She bought me 48 inches worth of hot dog. I was in heaven. Flying high all day! Last year I went to the fair for the first time in years at the age of 63. Bought a footlong for old times sake. Yuch! I was nauseous all day. Was it the dog or my elderly digestive system? I don't know but where fair food is concerned it appears that you really can't go home again!

[ohiosmith]

23. Too true! But I keep trying!

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. Italian sausage with peppers n onions, blooming onion or rings, and fried dough with powdered sugar.

[pipi_k]

30. Oh man...

Italian (sweet) sausage smothered in onions, green peppers, mozzarella cheese, and thick tomato sauce on a toasted grinder roll

it's a whole meal...

[geardaddy]

32. It's a toss-up

Fried cheese curds


or

Corn dogs

[ohiosmith]

35. I'll have one,....make that four of each!

[cbayer]

34. Crawfish Monica at new Orleans jazz fest

Yummly!

[ohiosmith]

38. Love mud bugs!

[cbayer]

40. Take a look at this and drool!

[ohiosmith]

41. Oh man!

[4th law of robotics]

36. Renfest turkey legs

I don't know what they put on them (crack maybe). But they are the perfect food.

[ohiosmith]

43. Outstanding!

[Bertha Venation]

37. Corn dogs.

With lots of mustard.

[ohiosmith]

44. The standard by which all fair food is measured!

[pokerfan]

49. Corn dogs are any state fair's haute cuisine

I have one (and only one) every year at the state fair. Yummy goodness!

[Bertha Venation]

50. One ain't gonna kill you. However . . .

. . . who was it that posted a picture of a corn dog pizza the other day?

[pokerfan]

51. I missed that

but googling....



That's just stupid. Those two things just don't belong together. Besides, everyone knows that pizza belongs in a cup.

[OriginalGeek]

39. I only go to the fair for the food

and my favorites are definitely Corn Dogs and Fat Balls

A fat ball is a ball of fried dough about the size of a baseball, split in half and filled your choice of vanilla or chocolate pudding, the top put back on and dusted with powdered sugar. Served in a snow cone cup and you really need a spoon.

[ohiosmith]

45. I need some Fat Balls! Oh shit! Think that'll start another thread in Meta?

[hunter]

42. Deep fried calamari and artichokes with beer.

The "Squid and Thistle" would be a great name for a pub, no?

[ohiosmith]

46. Yum!

Awesome pub name!

[Scout]

47. elephant ears

hands down favorite.

fried chicken, french fries, maybe a corn dog, and the occasional scotch egg are also good.

don't do cotton candy, ick.

[ohiosmith]

48. Love em!

[libodem]

52. Freakin' Corn Dog/ Mustard

What makes them so irresistible at the fair? They must be full of fat calories from hell and mysterious animal organs. First bite has the potential to flash fry your mouth. Must. Not. Go. To. The. Fair.
