Deep Fried What?

It’s fair time here and that means food carts with deep-fried treats.  There’s deep-fried Kool-aide, twinkies, brownies, bacon and more.

This brings up two questions.  Why deep fry all these foods?  I rarely eat fried food and can’t imagine frying my dessert.

The second question is Who eats these items?  From the looks of it — a lot of people.

I think it’s the idea of eating something that’s not available the rest of the year.  It makes it an special event.

I like fair food- but it’s the grilled corn on the cob, giant cinnamon rolls and funnel cakes.  I’ll leave the deep fried treats for the rest of you.
