The Iowa State Fair has pushed the limit on what you can fry on a stick. This year, "Fried Butter on a Stick" made its debut. Not worth the calories that would go directly to my ass. Huffpo reported this artery clogging delicacy is quite yummy. Some things just don't belong on a stick. I had a foot-long brat on a BUN. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/11/fried-butter-stick-iowa-state-fair_n_924768.html
I captured a flavor of the Iowa State Fair for FFLife on my Flip video camera yesterday. The software in right in the camera...very cool. 1:58 Movie: Flip has a "magic movie" function. http://tinyurl.com/3r3gl2l 3:25 Movie: Flip video mixed with still shots. http://tinyurl.com/3vf2em6 Photos: Check out the famous butter cow. http://tinyurl.com/3pdy7dv Here's the list of foods on-a-stick as of Fair 2011 Fried Butter on-a-stick Peanut Butter & Jelly on-a-stick Chocolate Covered Fried Ice Cream on-a-stick Cheesecake on-a-stick Fair Square Chocolate-covered tiramisu on-a-stick Turtle mousse bar on-a-stick Twinkie log on-a-stick (frozen Twinkie dipped in white chocolate and rolled in cashews) Octodog (hotdog in the shape of an octopus) Chocolate-dipped cake on-a-stick Buffalo chicken on-a-stick Chocolate-covered peanut butter round on-a-stick Chocolate-covered key lime round on-a-stick Carmellows on-a-stick Pretzel rods dipped in caramel or chocolate Pickle on-a-stick Pork chop on-a-stick Corn dog Cheese on-a-stick Cajun chicken on-a-stick Sesame chicken on-a-stick Carmel apple German sausage on-a-stick Teriyaki beef on-a-stick Corn on the cob on-a-stick Cotton candy Veggie dog on-a-stick Turkey drumstick Nutty bar Fried pickle on-a-stick Hot bologna on-a-stick Shrimp on-a-stick Chicken on-a-stick Monkey Tails (chocolate covered banana on-a-stick) Honey on-a-stick Ice cream Wonder Bar Deep fried Snickers bar on-a-stick Deep fried Milky Way bar on-a-stick Deep fried Twinkie on-a-stick Lamb on-a-stick Meatballs on-a-stick Deep fried hoho on-a-stick Funtastick Pork on-a-stick Dutch letters on-a-stick Deep fried hot dog on-a-stick Chocolate covered cheesecake on-a-stick Pineapple on-a-stick (Fresh pineapple dipped in funnel cake batter and deep fried) Chicken lips on-a-stick (breaded chicken breast smothered with hot sauce, served with blue cheese dressing).
