Food on a Stick
St. Paul, MN - Tyfoid Kid - Wednesday, August 30th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
So the State Fair is big deal around here.
www.mnstatefair.org/
The fair still has most of the traditional fair stuff, farm animal judging, cow milking, some place to by that corn bin dryer. But for us city folks once we get tired of looking at the largest pig at the fair we want to eat some really shitty for your body junk food. And if it's on a stick that seems to be a bonus. This is tracked with great fervor, even making the evening news casts.
First we have the big 3 -
Chesse Curds
Mini Donuts 
French Fries in a big (think large movie popcorn container) bucket.
and some more traditional stuff for the old folks
(I'm sure there's lutefisk somewhere as well, BLEAH.)
And on a Stick we have
Didn't try the ostrich
More traditional but not very spicy (Uff Da Hot we call it.)
The only way to eat a deep fried candy bar is on a stick
Gator - tastes kinda like sausage
This is just a corn dog
Footlong hot dogs
Walleye is a very big deal here so it has to be attempted.
Hot Sub Sandwhich - on a stick
Not too hard to figure this one out
Scotch Eggs - wasn't it Mike Meyers who said that most Scottish food was the result of a dare.
and the hot new comer for this year and the one gets the most comments

Nice collection of eateries. Do you have any pictures of the largest pig?
EvilGentleman: 31st Aug 2006 - 00:24 GMT
Yeah! We want pig pix! Pig pix! Pig pix! (On a stick, if you could be so kind)
Tyfoid Kid: 31st Aug 2006 - 16:15 GMT
I'm hoping to head over again tonight. Hopefully they haven't packed all the animals up yet.
joey: 1st Sep 2006 - 01:48 GMT

How on earth do they get hot dish on a stick? What on earth is Hot Dago?
Tyfoid Kid: 5th Sep 2006 - 13:27 GMT
Hot Dish on a Stick is Meatballs and Tator Tots, the main components (along with cream of mushroom soup) in Tator Tot Hotdish. I've heard it's less then stellar.
Evil G. I went back to the fair and the pig barn was cleared out. I have a pic of the largest pig from a few years ago, I just have to find it.
EvilGentleman: 5th Sep 2006 - 13:57 GMT
But I wanted to see the biggest pig from this year - on a stick.

Susannah, it's your turn now. I'm afraid of the citynoise servers banning me for being a possible spambot.

I searched the web for shrunken monkey heads on a stick - but this will have to do-
Deep fried coke on a stick?

I wonder how long before we see spaghetti-on-a-stick... or maybe soup on a stick, chili on a stick, caviar on a stick, salad on a stick, or perhaps deep-fried sneakers on a stick.
I know - BEER on a stick, now THAT is a winning recipe...
Susannah: 6th Sep 2006 - 12:59 GMT
stayed tuned for grits on a stick, biscuits and gravy on a stick, scrambled eggs on a stick,alka-seltzer, tums and rolaids on a stick:-)

We made a Video of all the many foods on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair.
Check it out at: http://bellydujour.com/2006/09/video_on_a_stick.php

What is "hot dish"? Sounds so generic- there are many dishes served hot. Way to be specific, Minnesota.
Mime: Deep fried sticks. You eat them with chopsticks.
