To say the Texas State Fair celebrates fried food is an understatement. Each year there's a "Big Tex Choice Award Contest" to recognize the best new fair food. Last year's winner was fried PB&J sandwiches.
Fried food is so popular my friends Larry and Michael D. are planning to have a deep-fried butter concession next year. Ha!
Let's hold a contest: Guess which of these I came the closest to eating! I actually stood in line for one of these, but came to my senses before I spent any money. Email me and let me know. If you are the first with the correct answer, you win!
Here are the entries as they appear in the State Fair Guide:
Fried Praline Perfection--plump coconut and pecan pralines, battered and fried to a rich golden crust. Served warm with powdered sugar.
Fried Coke--Deep fried spheres of Coco-Cola flavored batter, drizzled with Coke fountain syrup, topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a cherry.
Fernie's Fried Mac 'N Cheese--Deep-fried bites of macaroni and cheese, covered with a layer of garlic and herb-flavored bread crumbs. Served with dipping sauces.
Fernie's Fried Choco-Rito--A flour tortilla stuffed with marshmallows, coconut, candy bar pieces, caramel morsels and cinnamon, dipped in pancake batter and deep fried. Drizzled with honey and topped with whipped cream.
Donkey Tails--All-beef franks, slit on one side and generously stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped tightly in a flour tortilla and fried until golden brown. Served with mustard sauce, chili sauce or salsa.
Deep Fried Cosmopolitan--A fried pastry filled with rich cheesecake and topped with a sweet and tangy cranberry glaze and lime wedge. Served on a stick.
