Minnesota State Fair's new food list doesn't skip the deep fryer
The Great Minnesota Get-Together's new foods list is a throwback to a core fair food belief: the more fried, the better.
Details: Over a dozen of the 33 new foods are listed as fried or deep-fried, including pizza cheese curd tacos, cheese curds in funnel cake batter and a cheeseburger that uses deep-fried PB&J Uncrustables as buns.
While not always fried, the desserts could overwhelm a sweet tooth — cannoli gelato nachos, cinnamon sugar pie crusts and a croissant waffle topped with sweet cream and cotton candy top the list.
Zoom out: The Fair's yearslong diversification of vendors has also continued, with five of this year's eight new vendors serving international fare like Dubai chocolate, Filipino fried spring rolls and Hungarian pastries.
