Cool! I'm going to send the list to someone at our Fair. Battered and
deep-fried bacon, eh? Huh! We had Pig Lickers this year --
chocolate-dipped fried bacon. "Interesting."
Thanks for the list, BOB.

Almost everything on that list is fried and I freakin' love fried foods, and
also love to fry foods, to me it's the happyest cooking method, it makes me
happy just as I see the first things start bubbling in the pan.
Gotta keep out of Texas fairs...

I wonder if the bacon is pre-cooked. That would keep it from shrinking
inside it's crispy cocoon.
The state fair is a greasy event. I hope they're at least using the
spent oil to make biodeisel.

Isn't this just a slight variation on a Croque Monsieur?

These were an appetizer at TGIFriday's for a while; don't know if they
still are.

That's a little far-fetched to "improve" a fried pie, which have been
around forever.

Sounds gaggy, and I love cantaloupe.
Some of these ideas look worthwhile; some not. But, no fried pickle
on a stick? pork chop on a stick? Our Iowa State Fair has
those! ;-)

LOL. Now now now! Cornmeal does contain a modicum of fibre.
Our state fair had as one of its cooking competitions (in addition to
the ones such as Spam [tm] contest) fried food 'onna stick'. I didn't
enter :D

Who forgot to fry the bread pudding? I bet they're embarassed about
that. :P I'm sorry, but almost everything on that list is positively
gag-inducing!

These were the "new food" offerings. The corn dogs, fried corn ears,
fried Snicker bars, and fried bologna are no doubt still available for
the traditionalists.
