State Fair of Texas

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Went to the State fair the other day. I was amazed that the attendance all day there must have been an all time low. No where near as crowded as I have seen in the past. I routinely go with a group of friends every year.

They fry everything there at the fair. But even the food courts and other vendors quiet. The midway, no lines at the rides. The midway games, the only one making noise were the the ones running the games. Easy to see why Texas is rated one of the most overweight states in the nation.

I didnt try it but they even deep fried Oreos, I just can not see that myself. I did try some of the things there though. I found one that grilled Gator-ka-bobs. They were actually quite good. I found another booth with old fashioned root beer, no caffiene. but the sugar level was enough to put a diabetic into DKA. it was sinfully delicious.

I just bought solar water heating for my pool and hot tub. Absolutely wonderful.

The healthiest food I saw at the state fair was the pickles. Everything alse was drenched in deep fry oil. At least though someone can take that and turn it into biodiesel fuel

Fried bacon just doesn't seem right.

How else do you cook bacon? Fried bacon is a staple item!

Hey, one of my favorite foods to get at the state fair is cajun spiced black eyed peas. Those are pretty healthy; lots of fiber! No need to knock the great State Fair of Texas :-)

I don't know now really. At the one of the food contests recipes cooked with "SPAM" and others with "MALT-O-MEAL" did very well in the judging. Thats enough for my tongue to shrivel up in anticipation. That is just repulsive.

My gf and I went again yesterday, and it is still actually very light crowds there as compared to past years. That is sad also.
