state fair food

Even as more government agencies call for healthier food across the country, America's state fairs remain a safe haven for creative deep-frying. The Minnesota State Fair, which claims to have the largest daily attendance of any state fair in the country, has announced the new foods that will be available next August.

Of all the foods a person might deep fry, this could be the strangest. At the Texas State Fair on Monday, a deep-fried concoction of bubblegum and marshmallows won the prize for the most creative dish.
