As promised yesterday, here’s a sampling of the food available at the Ohio State Fair.
People were generous in allowing me to photograph the food they purchased and were about to consume.
I’m sorry I didn’t get pics of the actual Roast Beef Sundae and the Donut Burger. There is a lot more to see and eat.
Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana with Sprinkles
The Ribbon (potatoes fried) with Cheese and Ranch Dressing.
Deep Fried Everything
Deep Fried Buckeyes
Cotton Candy Booth
Dipping the Roasted Corn in Butter
A Burger in a Donut for a Bun
Peppers and Onions on the Grill
Muddy Pigs Booth
Grilling Chicken
Fairgoers eating Deep Fried Turkey Legs?
The Butter Cow Sculpture
(I wanted to see this as I remember seeing one a long time ago when I was young)
I read an interesting obituary in the New York Times Norma Lyon, the Butter Cow Lady in 2011
543 Hours to Create the Butter Sculpture Display Kept at 46 degrees F
Ohio State Fair Youth Choir Founder, Glenville Thomas (d. 1991) Honored in Butter Sculpture
Kettle Corn Booth
French Fries Booth
Gyro Booth
Funnel Cake with Powdered Sugar on Top
Ha – I think it’s cool how people let you take pix of their food.
And – holy cow on all that butter!
Love the Holy Cow in your comment. It was something to see.
There is nothing like state fair food but I personally will skip the “muddy pig”
Me too Sue.
Woah. This was an eye opener! Some more interesting options than the usual dagwood dog I’m used to. Chocolate covered bacon? Donut burger!? I feel like my heart is strained just looking at those. However, I can definitely see myself having a go at The Ribbon 🙂
Thanks for stopping by the blog and leaving a good comment. I am wondering what a Dagwood dog is so will have to check on at item.
Love the funnel cake. Wonderful shots of the fair.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Francine they had a red velvet funnel cake but my photo in the bright sun made it look pink and I didn’t realize it til on the computer at home.
Some weird food. Some great pics. 🙂
Thanks Jamie. Weird is a good adjective. For some reason I am fascinated at what people consume. A few years ago I had a bite of a deep fried pickle.
God bless you. You’re a braver woman than I am. 🙂
What did you eat and the family eat? Maybe next year I can go with you.
Fantastic shots! Those butter sculptures are incredible and I can almost taste that roasted corn with butter dribbling down it…mmmmm
Thanks Lorna. I shared your Iceland post with my sister and her friend who visited there.
Thank you! I hope they enjoyed their visit, it’s an amazing place.
you surprised me with “Youth Choir Founder, Glenville Thomas (d. 1991) Honored in Butter Sculpture” – like the famous Chinese terracotta army – but made of butter …
Fabulous shots of the fair Ruth! Love the composition of the cotton candy stall shot 🙂
I love the shot of the peppers and onions – great focus and colors. The butter sculptures are very impressive! As for what I would eat… I could probably do a chocolate-covered banana, minus the sprinkles. All of the rest, though – not for me. 🙂
I am impressed by the butter sculptures!
They were impressive thanks for writing
I think i gained a few pounds just looking at the treats. I certainly wouldn’t want to eat that stuff daily but for one day a year, why not have a ball — or a deep-fried Twinkie! And it wouldn’t be a mid-western state fair if there wasn’t a butter cow somewhere. 🙂
