Food On a Stick
Food on a stick is genius. It harkens back to a time when we could shun traditional silverware and dig in with our fingers and allows us to wander from the pig barn to the Ferris Wheel without pause. While each state fair features a variety, the king may be The Minnesota State Fair, which offers more than 60 kinds of food on a stick. Start with an appetizer: a deep-fried pickle on a stick perhaps, or a skewered peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. For your main course, test out the innovative spaghetti and meatballs on a stick — a pasta-filled meatball, covered in sauce and deep-fried. Or, for a more traditional meal, maybe you'd like some skewered pork chops, steak or even bacon-wrapped turkey. Unsurprisingly, sweets on a stick go over best. Cheesecake and fruit are among the most popular stick delicacies. But with all these options, let's hope they also offer antacid on a stick.
