Texas Fried Fair

I remember going to the fair in Beaumont when I was growing up, and it was pretty fun. I didn't pay much attention to the food surprisingly, but I rode some of the rides... although I was terrified. Who even knows how well those rides are put together? They're portable! Anyway, this year we went to the State Fair of Texas, and this time, it was ALL about the food. I don't think it's wise to ride rides after that food anyway. Here's all the stuff we tasted..... fried.

1) corn dogs (Fletcher's)
2) peaches and cream -- just the peaches were fried
3) butter -- yes, fried butter. I bet Paula Deen came up with that one. It was really like a fried biscuit.
4) cookie dough
5) coke -- pretty much a biscuit soaked in coke and fried
6) bacon
7) funnel cake

Pretty disgusting that we put those things in our bodies, yes. I felt awful after only taking one bite of everything. It was a wise idea to share everything between 5 people. After we could take no more, we came home, and went directly to bed. I can't promise I'll eat any of those things in years to come (except the corn dogs and funnel cake), but we had to have the experience! There's nothin' like it. Here we are with Big Tex!
