This is Why I'm Fat: Fair Food Edition

I went home to Boise this weekend to watch my sister and her horse compete in the fair. More on that later (after I get the pictures from Karen). First, I would like to discuss the best part of the fair: the food!

Main Courses

The Twisted Spud.....a spiral cut potato on a stick....deep fried, of course. 

Sweet. Potato. Tots. Amaaaaaaazing!

A little sampler buffet we put together: sweet potato tots, nachos, Hawaiian noodles, an onion blossom. Not pictured: Corn dogs, cheese fries, frozen lemonade. 

Desserts

Elephant Ear. An old fair classic with a modern twist: Maple frosting. It was basically a giant donut.

A Bluth Banana.

Deep Fried Twinkie.

An Idaho specialty: The Ice Cream Potato. A spud-shaped ball of ice cream, rolled in cocoa powder, topped with whipped cream, nuts, and oreos.
