Minnesota State Fair Food Takes It Up a Notch

Snicker Bar Salad
The Minnesota State Fair - one of the best in the country - is taking place right now. The food that has always been over the top has gone up scale. It used to be that if we thought of our favorite fast food and then boiled it in lard, we had great fair food.

This year the fair has gone gourmet.  Not only that, we're supposed to choose wine pairings.
Deep Fried Ribs

New at the fair is Grandma Deb's Snicker Bar Salad.

And let's deep fry those ribs.

Do you love Funnel Cake?  How about Maple Bacon Funnel Cake?

Twinkies with Caviar


Or how about Spam Burgers in 5 Flavors finished off by Sara's Tipsy Pies or Deep Fried Twinkies with Caviar - or both?

OK, I'm totally confused about the wine pairings.  Aren't we always supposed to choose wine sweeter than the food?  I don't think it's possible.
