Deep Fried Oreos. Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots. Pickle Dogs. Funnel Cakes. Corn Dogs. We go to fairs as much for the food as for the amusement rides/farm animals/4-H projects. But the
fairs only happen once a year, in summer. What do you do when you get that Deep
Fried Butter craving in February? You pull out your copy of Fair Foods, that’s
what you do. These recipes are a lot of fun and would make good choices for
entertaining, unless your friends are too snooty to eat Chocolate Covered Bacon
or Cheese Popcorn. (By the way, the Corn Dog recipe is the same as you get on
Main Street as Disneyland!) Recommended By Tracey T., Powells.com
