Usual & Unusual

     The highlight of the year for many Minnesotans is what has come to be referred to as "The Great Minnesota Get-Together" that is the State Fair.  Once again this year I ate my way from one end of the fair to the other, enjoying many stereotypical kinds of fair food.  There was candy apples and popcorn

 

There was also the standard cotton candy

 

and the foot long hot dog.

 

But there were some things that you might not see anywhere else on the planet.  The Tom Thumb mini-donuts may not be unique,

 

but they have spun off two other items that definitely are.   How about mini-donut ice cream?

 

or mini-donut beer?
