They really do sell deep fried snickers bars on sticks! :scared: I didnt try one, but I did have a corn dog, which is something I will not be repeating in for the foreseeable future.

I've found corn dogs to be an aquired taste, I think thats why US dogs lick thier own balls to get the taste of corn dogs out of thier mouths:lecture:

Ok, I know what a Snickers is and certainly would not want one deep fried!!! But, what exactly is a corn dog?

I had a mexican one last night at the Day of The Dead... www.ladeayofthedead.com it is covered in Mayo, then chili powder followed by cheese.........Unusual but yummy.

A corn dog is a weiner covered in corn bread and deep fried ?? usually served on a stick .... hmmm so now you know.

As for deep fried snickers .... when i lived in Scotland we had deep fried mars bars, cadbury creme eggs .. just about anything actually .. the local chippie even deep fried pizza... now that was gross !!

I'll never forget the first time I went to a Scottish Chippy after we moved there- I asked for a pie and chips- and they threw the pie in the deep fat!!! Can you say stunned?

I visited the NC State Fair in Raleigh yesterday...

Interesting foods on sale there included the usual fried Twinkies, Oreos and the like.

The "fried dough" stands were plentiful. I don't remember seeing them last year. Can't see why anybody would get excited and want to eat fried dough really.

Then there was the really odd stuff. I saw the vendor selling emu but I don't know how it was prepared. I also heard about fried alligator but I didn't see the vendor who sold that. Doubt there was much of a line for that edible oddity.

Due to eating three ham biscuits (not at once) for breakfast, I couldn't manage a smoked turkey leg later, even though I wanted to try one again (the first experience was last State Fair).

Have now had the experience of having consumed sausage gravy (on a biscuit of course). White "gravy" that was a little peppery with bits of American style sausage in it. Not bad. I think it was homemade too.

I see the biggest cow ever, also at the fair on saturday. Geez that thing would have made an awful lot of steaks. 6 ft 8 and nearly 3500 pounds! best 50cents I ever spent

I also won a cuddly toy dog by throwing a dart into a little star and some(I kid you not) fluffy dice, which I gave to my step daughter for her car.

I missed out on the figure 8 stock car racing though, as the bastards closed off the stadium saying it was full

I love making the 'Fried Dough' that they sell at Fairs... I'm actually quite good at it!

Actually the Dept of Agriculture has a stand at the NC State Fair and visitors can be weighed and the results are handed over on a card. I did it last year and also on Saturday.

I was terribly surprised to see that my weight has only changed one lb over a year!! Also, I ate more State Fair food last year too...

Patrick: did you happen to get weighed on this machine or did you avoid this?
