Lately she's written about state fairs and how they try to one-up each other in the fast food department.
(By the way, I haven't heard from my favorite Hoosiers about how the Indiana State Fair food stacked up.)
Last week she wrote about Minnesota and their "food on a stick." Today it's Texas (the largest state fair, of course.) It's all about the deep frying.
Some examples:
- Deep-Fried Lattes - pastry topped with cappuccino ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream and instant powder.
- Fried Chili Pie
- Fried Guacamole - breaded mashed avocado with ranch dressing or salsa.
- Fried Banana Pudding
- Deep Fried Coke - cola flavored batter, drizzled with Coke flavored syrup, then topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry.
Tomorrow I'm meeting some old friends for lunch at a catfish place in a small, close by, town. Yes, I'll have catfish. Can't wait. Yum. Yum. I guess I can order something else, something non fried - but why?
I can assure you that:
- I will order the fingerlings, deep fried with a cornmeal coating. That's 5 whole catfish (but they're small.)
- I will eat every bite and it will take a while because they're full of bones.
- I will come home and (as Heather McPherson suggests) "Grab the Pepto."
She also said something about a defibrillator.
