We're reaching the time of year when I miss The Big E (6 state fair held in West Springfield, Ma). I could eat my weight in fried dough covered in pizza sauce for dinner followed by my weight in fried dough covered in cinnamon and sugar for dessert. That would make me 450 pounds.

My list from this year's North Carolina State Fair:
- Corn on the cob
- Deep fried pumpkin pie
- Krispy Kreme Burger
- Deep fried Three Musketeers
- Deep fried cookie dough
- Deep fried Oreos
The pumpkin pie was my favorite, it was so hot and gooey and delicious. My two friends and I were skeptical about the KK Burger but it ended up being amazing. It was like having your entree and your dessert in your mouth at the same time. The cookie dough was also quite good.

Big Tex finalists are out:
Caribbean Pineapple Korn-a-Copia
Grilled chicken and shrimp served over Caribbean fried rice, topped with a tropical salsa and pineapple rum glaze and served in a pineapple half shell.
Deep-Fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider on a Stick
"A miniature, handmade seasoned ground beef patty is stuffed with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon and an all-beef hot dog on a Hawaiian roll. It is then placed on a skewer topped with a pickle, dipped in a tempura batter and deep fried to perfection. Every Bacon Burger Dog is served on a bed of shoe string fries with ranch dipping sauce."
Deep-Fried Pulled Pork Funyun Dings
"A Funyun, the traditional crunchy snack, is stuffed with pulled pork, pepper jack cheese, pineapple slices and bacon. It is then dipped in a flavorful batter and deep fried."
Fernie’s Down Home Chicken Pot Pie Pocket with Mac 'n' Cheese Dip
"A savory cream sauce chock-full of shredded roasted chicken breast, tender diced white potatoes, sweet carrots, peas, corn and a special blend of herbs and spices" is ladled into pastry dough and folded "Hot Pocket-style." It's served with a mac 'n' cheese-inspired dip.
Fried Jell-O
Cherry-flavored Jell-O is coated in panko bread crumbs, flash-fried, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
Injectable Great Balls of BBQ
"Smoke-crusted barbecue beef brisket is hand shredded with bock barbecue sauce and molded to form balls. The ball of beef is then breaded with seasoned bread crumbs and deep-fried to a crispy perfection. Served on top of a bed of coleslaw, each order comes with its own pipette of bock barbecue sauce to be injected into the brisket balls."
Southern Fried Chicken and Dumplins
"Juicy shredded chicken is mixed with bits of signature seasonings, dough and a touch of gravy. This decadent mixture is then rolled into balls, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried golden brown!" The balls ares served with fried “biscuit bites” and a side of gravy.
State Fair Cookie Fries
A deep-fried cookie — in flavors like chocolate chip or sprinkles — shaped like a French fry and served with strawberry or milk chocolate sauce.

2021 Big Tex finalists announced. Many of these sound pretty good, and I'm amazed at the creativity.
