We spent an afternoon at the Orange County Fair this week. We spent most of our time in the agriculture area looking over the gardens and farm animals. But not before we walked through the …
… concessions stands. Fair Food! Isn’t that one of the biggest draws to county fairs? We had our fill when we ordered a funnel cake that was covered in strawberries and whipped cream. It was huge! Three or four times bigger than we expected. We wouldn’t have been able to eat anything else if we wanted to. But we did get a kick out of looking at the stands with things like Chocolate Covered Bacon, Turkey Legs, Fried Oreos, Fried Twinkies and everything else you can or cannot imagine fried. I had no desire to taste the Chocolate Covered Bacon or the ‘fried anything and everything!’ I did wish I had some of the little ice cream Dippin’ Dots, though.
How about you? Have you or would your try any of the out of the ordinary ‘fair food’?

I love fairs and all the assorted “weird” foods!

Whenever I go to the fair I try one of those over the top fair foods.
Cheryl "Mash" says
I would, however, it would depend on what it was. I did have the ice cream dots when we visited Kennedy Space Center when my boys were young.
Melissa Rheinlander says
Yes… Try almost anything once 😉

Have to admit, I am not a big fan of going to the fair. The parking around here is horrible, the crowds, smells, and so on. When we went to a smaller chocolate festival with local businesses, I bought big kid and my father something on your list. My son begged to try the chocolate covered bacon. It is used at a lot of more gourmet places now. It was good – salty and sweet.

Turkey legs don’t seem all that unusual to me, so I’ve had plenty of those, and I’ve tried steak on a stick, which was actually pretty good. Last year, my kids and I tried fried ice cream and fried oreos. Both were good, but probably not worth the calories. I can’t imagine eating chocolate covered bacon, but I know someone who has.

Are you kidding!? The fair food at the county fair is what I look forward to every year. LOL
Those pictures make me really excited for the fair coming up!
Happy Friday 🙂

I love going to fairs and seeing all the unique foods (among other things…) 🙂 I can’t say that I’ve tried anything off the wall – yet – though! 🙂
