I went to Grange Fair in Central Pennsylvania, where they have row after row after ROW of stands like this with crazy, crazy food. It's like a secret world of food. Food you have never heard of before. Food that you can imagine a five-year-old dreaming up.
Fried vegetables. Fried pickles. What a way to get your veggies.
Rainbow-colored doughnuts and cookies.
And when you do get something normal, like an ice cream cone, it's like an ice cream cone on crack. HUGE. And the prices are crazy low. This cone was $2.
Fair brownie. The brownie is hidden under the ice cream, cool whip, and hot peanut butter sauce. The cool whip was higher, but I had to walk back to our tent before I could get to my camera, so it had started to deflate a bit.
A plain old funnel cake? Not at this fair. Try a funnel cake covered in any topping you can dream up. Srinkles, chocoate, M&M's.
Another new one for me: Monkey bread. I have no idea why they call it that, but it's really like a huge cinnamon roll, again with any toppings you could want.
More funnels cakes with a MOUNTAIN of stuff on top. The bottom row is your choice of chocolate covered bananas.
So, yeah, I was going to go on a diet. That was replaced by trying desperately to try every item I could in 2 1/2 days. It's a lot of work. Harder than you may think. You really have to pace yourself. There is a lot I didn't get to.
But, thank goodness, there is always next year. I will come prepared and with a very hungry, non-dieting tummy.

The brownie with hot peanut butter sauce and cool whip would be a definite for me! I love me some chocolate and peanut butter, especially together. I also eat cool whip right out of the container...Can you tell I have a bit of a sweet tooth?
Dear God. Hot peanut butter sauce?! No wonder you had to recuperate from this trip! I had fried Oreos once:)
I just gained 2lbs LOOKING at the food. oof.
Mmmm... hot peanut butter sauce sounds so yummy! The Iowa State Fair is the same way. Every year it's as if they try to see what new outrageous fried option they can add. The fried veggie thing gets me. I suppose it's to appeal to the vegetarians in the crowd. Isn't the point of being a vegetarian to be healthy? I guess even vegetarian's have to have fun at the fair. :)
Next year, you *must* take me to the fair with you! We will have no troubles conquering all that food, especially as a team!
