And nary a trans-fat in sight
You can't talk about the State Fair without talking about the amazing eats available. They certainly deserve their own post. We did our part to support local growers. Daddy, Mamaw, and Dadaw had this for breakfast:
Jacob, Daddy, and I had this for lunch:
You have to marvel at that Indiana ingenuity. From the beef counter above, where one could order a Hot Beef Sundae (shredded beef topped by mashed potatoes and a cherry tomato on top), to the midway, where you couldn't help but wonder "what else can we stick in that thar deep fryer?"
Our Pepsi balls, they are nearly world-famous. But I had never heard of deep-fried brownies before.
Curiosity overwhelmed me, and I had some for lunch. The guy behind the counter had the audacity to ask me if I wanted chocolate syrup and powdered sugar on top. Um, duh?
Oh, and how could I forget to mention our pre-lunch dessert of shaved ice?
One needs to keep the sugar up if one hopes to take in all these sights. Now please excuse me while I head to the potty.

At the Illinois State Fair we prefer the deep-fried Snickers to the deep-fried Brownie! I'm waiting for the advent of deep-fried Diet Coke- have to cut those calories where we can!
Next year I am heading to Indiana! Our state fair is lame and there is nothing deep fried. By the way what is a deep fried Pepsi? How does that even work?
we love the deep fried oreos. i was really interested in the cookie dough but we didn't try it. i'm hoping it will be back next year for me to sample.
love the corn. it is soo good.
Rachael -- deep-fried Pepsi is like a donut hole. Everywhere in a donut recipe that calls for other water-based liquids, substitute Pepsi. We have a local orchard here that makes apple cider donuts using the same strategy, only with their homemade apple cider. Sooooooo good.
