I am going to confess right now that for me, going to the state fair is all about eating.
Somehow, all the bright lights and odd exhibits make everything taste better. And let's face it, who can resist a turkey leg as big as a cave man's club?
Admittedly, the corn dogs had been sitting under the heat lamps for a little too long. However, the slightly crispy, slightly spongy funnel cakes were sprinkled generously with powdered sugar and surpassed my expectations.
A new and tantalizing item that I failed to walk away from (as if I tried) is something known as an elephant ear. Easily amused as I am, the name itself sucked me in. It had a funnel cake-like taste, but it was thinner, crispier and coated with vanilla. Then, it was sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar. I also couldn't hold back from the strawberry topping, and let's just say that about sealed the deal. Whipped cream wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Did I forget to mention the fresh spun cotton candy that was the size of a toddler?
That's right - it really was that big. I swear. Only it was pink and fluffy and resembled the clouds in a New Mexican sunset. It was absolutely beautiful.
