What's New?

     As many of you know, I can hardly wait each summer for the news of the new fair food that will be served at the Great Minnesota Get-Together at the end of August.  The list is out!  And here's what the Star Tribune recently said: 

     "Fans of food on a stick and all things deep fried have some new reasons to look forward to the Minnesota State Fair." 



     Yes, with the likes of Porketta Pig Wings and Wine Glazed Deep Fried Meatloaf, this year's new additions are not for the weight conscious or those worried about high cholesterol counts.  There are nearly 4 dozen new concoctions to consider this time around.  You've probably never tried a Candied Bacon Cannoli or Deep Fried Olives, but for 12 glorious days at the fair you can try them, and on a stick, no less!  There are savory items like Pork Belly Sliders that you can wash down with a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sundae.  And you can begin your day with a Breakfast Sausage Corndog, a sausage link dipped in pancake corndog batter and then deep fried and served with a side of maple syrup.  If you're still hungry after that you can top it off with a Grilled Glazed Donut with strawberry mint dipping sauce.



     But I am reserving judgement on one new items that will be served there.  I'll have to wait and see how the waffle fries topped with Philly steak, sauteed onions, red and green bell pepper and melted cheese stands up to our local sandwich favorite back here in the City of Brotherly Love.
