Looking at my photos, I can already see that the title of the post is a misnomer. I apologize for that, but the fact remains that I still think of the food at the Minnesota State Fair as being a case of everything-served-on-a-stick-even-if-it-usually-isn’t. Corn dogs are of course served on sticks. Fried alligator on sticks. Ice cream on sticks. Deep fried twinkies on sticks. Even the fairground maps are on (popsicle) sticks.
But they also have cheese curds!
and giant deep fried onions!
and my personal favorite stickless-food: mini donuts! Here seen in production. (Not shown: next picture in series, me watching with mouth agape)
So much food imagery at the state fair– sister L even got herself wedged into a kiddie ride shaped like an apple. (not shown).
