This year there were even more things that made us stop and say to each other "Really? People stand in line to BUY that... to eat?!" Deep fried cheeseburgers, sloppy joe's made with a Krispy Kreme doughnut bun, and two pound turkey legs wrapped in a pound of bacon were among some of the ones that stuck out to me. There was also a two pound chicken breast on a stick... what chicken did that come off of?
We have really been enjoying The American Baking Competition and my FAVORITE baker, Francine, made a chocolate peanut butter bacon pie in the first episode. The judges liked it. I've been hearing about chocolate covered bacon and was too nervous to try it at the fair back in 2010. This year, I was determined not to let the fair come and go without trying it...
I have to be honest: I'm not a fan. It was more like chocolate bacon bark... if that makes sense? It was like salty chocolate? There was too much chocolate and not enough bacon? There was just something off about it and poor Gene ended up eating all but one tiny piece of our carton of chocolate covered bacon.
We regretfully had french fries with Gouda and bacon on them- they were DELICIOUS but our tummies did not like fried food after MONTHS of not eating any! We will be going to another concert down at the fair and I already know what I'll be eating- pineapple and chicken! YUM!
I have to say, I think chocolate covered bacon is the most adventurous thing I've ever eaten! I asked folks on instagram and Facebook what the craziest thing they've ever eaten was and got some interesting responses- silkworms, jelly fish, chocolate covered bugs (which I think I would try), and pig's feet stew! Now it's your turn: what is the most adventurous thing you have eaten... or would eat if presented the opportunity?
