Last night my sister in law and I took our daughters, as well as my daughters best
friend, to an Earth Wind & Fire concert at the county fair. If you ever get a chance
to see them, go. They were *spectacular*! I've enjoyed their music most all of my
life, and they are still as good now as they were when I was my daughter's age.

We got there early so we'd have time to at least glance around at what's new this
year, and grab a bite before the show started. I saw something that I could only
imagine as fair food...meaning I couldn't picture it being served anywhere else in
town! Deep fried macaroni and cheese on a stick! I did not try it. There is just so
far over the line that I am willing to go, and this just sounded to me like one would
be inviting a heart attack as they swallowed! Of all the deep frieds, as we call
them, this one seems even more over the top than the deep fried Twinkie.

Also deep fried this year: Snickers, Oreos, hamburgers, artichokes, avocados, a mixed
veggie tray....and the one I could not resist, and thoroughly enjoyed while
justifying it to myself with how seldom I would ever eat them....Apple fries!

Apples, cut like French fries, flash fried, rolled in cinnamon & sugar. They were
soooooooo good! They were the perfect end to a meal that consisted of carne asada
nachos, roasted corn on the cob, and a fresh lemonade.

What's your favorite fair food? And, like my apple fries, is it something you only
eat at the fair?

The Veggie Fries stand is usually my first stop. Potato, onion, sweet
potato, zucchini, broccoli, mushroom in tempura-like batter and fried.

They had hotdish-on-a-stick a year or so back. I don't remember what
was involved in it.

See above.
Yes.

The Great Minnesota Get-Together starts in two months, August 21.

I have to eat funnel cakes at the fair. Yes, I only eat them at the
fair.

I also love corn dogs and those fresh fried potato chips cut in long
strips -- I'm blanking on the fair food name for those. Butterfly
potato chips?

I tried the deep fried candy bars once. They were fun to try, but I
don't care to get them again.

I'm looking forward to the Arizona State Fair in October. They have some
great fair food and one booth that always has delicious pulled brisket.
I'm not ready to try the ostrich burger yet, though.

They still do that at the Arizona State Fair. Likewise, they stil make
sal****er taffy before your eyes, and cooking pots of fudge.

No kidding. I haven't been to a state fair since I was a kid,
even then it was Pennsylvania or West Virginia, not sure
which. This wasn't a real fair, just a church fundraiser fair.
Local places supplied the food, so I got a sausage and peppers
sub. And some zeppoli!

When we lived in Ohio we always went to the Cuyahoga County Fair held at
the Berea Fairgrounds. It was the largest county fair in the state. I
never went to the Ohio State Fair in Columbus. The county fair there was
almost as large as the state fair here in Arizona. But I just love the
atmosphere of fairs. We both love fairs. We walk the animal buildings,
the midways, ride some of the rides and, of course, eat and eat! No matter
what I eat *at* the fair, I always have to come home with salt water taffy
and fudge. There are a few things I won't waste my time on, though, and
those are the stage performances and the car races. I couldn't care less.
The exhibit halls are fun, too. All the gadgets, gizmos, appliances, etc.
The food entries in the canning and baking categories are interesting, too,
but the Arizona fair has a rather small representation of this compared to
other fairs. Perhaps that's why I've been able to win a few ribbons there.

I should probably mention the two deep-fried Twinkies I've had one of the
local BBQ joints. (Each were shares with friends that had never heard
of such a thing.)

Logic says, then, that you should watch them being made for other people,
and save your money and girlish figure.

Smoked turkey leg and garlic fies!
Particularly the local-to-Sonoma County Willie Bird turkey...

I'd eat them elsewhere, but they are rarely, if ever, properly smoked.

In Hawaii, when we went to the Maui County Fair, my favorite Fair Food was
kalua pig and chow fun. Other than that, I have no experience in "Fair
Food". Never been to any other. I've heard of funnel cakes from this
group, but I've never had nor seen one. What's an apple fry?

I assume you mean a twice fried jelly donut. Jelly donuts are deep
fried anyway, then injected with jelly. Why the state fair attending
rubes would think that refrying them would improve them, I can't
imagine.

To me, ostrich meat tastes kind of like organ meat, like gizzard with
a strong hint of liver. I have had it more than once, in different
places, so it wasn't just a bad batch.

As a kid I really enjoyed deep fried mushy peas. They were regular dried
marrow fat peas, soaked then cooked. I have no idea how they managed to cut
them into rectangles, batter and fry them. Drenched in salt and malt vinegar
they were fantastic. Especially as they cost about 10pence at the time,
opposed to a 'bag of chips' (potatoes fries, but very chunky AKA fish shop
style) that cost 40 pence.
I must try freezing then battering a batch, perhaps on a baking sheet then
cutting to desired size.
My diet is going nowhere!!!

Understood.
They were fried, jellied' and then fried again on a stick They were coated
in something, then dusted w/ powdered sugar. I saw them, I didn't eat them.
I don't care for jelly donuts and the "put it on a sitck and call it food"

Might be a northern English thing. Fish and chip shops here always sell
cartons of peas, curry sauce and gravy to go with the fish and chips or pie
and chips. (Battered sausage, fish cake, scallop (fish between 2 pieces of
potato, battered and fried) fried chicken portion are all on offer at most
'fish shops' to eat with chips) This was just a child hood thing that was
offered locally. Very filling and cheap! Also very tasty in a cold climate.
Might not have the same appeal in Florida!

Chow Fun is great.

Hawaiian Fast Food places are going up faster around here than
anything. There's one near where I work and we go several times a
week. My current favorite is spam musubi. I can get a spam musubi, an
egg roll that is to die for, and a hot and sour soup with lots of tofu
and mushrooms for under $3.

Interesting. I love peas. I'd be curious as to exactly how these are

I buy small boxes of dried peas, soak overnight and then rinse and simmer
with enough water to cover peas. (keep an eye on them cos they boil over
really easily) Them towards the end of cooking when it looks like a pan of
green mush, with just a few pea shapes visible I add about a teaspoon of
salt and the same of sugar.
They're a very northern English thing I think. I've always eaten them not
only with fish but with pies, (with mint sauce) and even with roast dinners
as one of the veg dishes. Make a little well in the centre of a heap of
peas, fill with malt vinegar or mint sauce and then mush it in as you eat!
Sounds disgusting now I'm describing it but it tastes nice!

One word: delicious!


Apple Fritters

Emeril Lagasse

desserts

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup water
2 cups chopped apples
Splash apple brandy
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, separated
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Drizzle cane syrup (recommended: Steen's)
Confectioners' sugar

Preheat a deep fryer.
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for
30 seconds to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemon juice, water, apples,
brandy and cinnamon. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes or until
the apples start to wilt. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter and cooled
apple mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture.
Blend until the batter is incorporated. Cover the batter, place in the
refrigerator and let rest for 2 to 4 hours.

In a standing mixer or with a whisk, beat egg whites until stiff.
Remove the batter from the refrigerator and blend until smooth. Fold
in the beaten egg white. Using a large spoon, drop the batter into the
hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from
the oil and drain on paper-lined plate.

To serve, Mound the warm fritters on a platter and drizzle with cane
syrup. Garnish the fritters with powdered sugar.

What a nice way to elevate their palate. In downtown Las Vegas, at
Mermaid's on Freemont street, I had a Trashtastic lunch for $5; a

Garlic fries are the specialty at Safeco Field (home of the currently
horrendous Seattle Mariners). The stadium reeks of them.

At the Puyallup, WA Fair (pronounced Pew-wallup, don't ask me why), the
specialty is scones. At the NY State Fair, spiedies (lamb, beef, or
chicken kebabs served on hot dog rolls), sausage and peppers, and salt
potatoes rule.

They were actually kind of good. The were sprinkled with powdered sugar
and lightly drizzled with raspberry syrup.

What a blowout. Yow! Hmmm......fried Oreo....

Well, anyway, the sugar-free soda made it all healthy.

Huh, so it's like an apple-filled fried dough ball. That kind of sounds
good for fall. Thanks for the recipe, Michael.

made them in ages, but I became almost addicted to them in the UK.
