Warning - serious drifting.

I'm sure that there must be some state fair or carnival or NASCAR
event that hosts an X-treme fair food contest. Between this and the
chicken-fried thread, we could have a contender.

A pork chop or turkey leg on a stick, run through the candy machine,
chocolate coated, dipped in chicken or elephant ear batter, fried hot
enough to cook the batter without melting the sugar. Garnished with
sprinkles and pinapple circles.

No. Needs some serious work. But how about something where you go
through the appetizer, salad, meat and dessert, all on the same
stick. Probably have to skip the soup course.

Baked alaska core with a savory or double savory to sweet crust,
rolled in - what passes for an appetizer at the fair? Cheetoes? Pork
rind?
