Freaky Fair Foods

We spent all day at Larry’s Old Time Trade Days (a giant flea market) in Winnie, Texas yesteday. My mom has a small business making and selling kitschy hand-painted signs made from old fence boards.

I’m always amazed by the stuff people are selling. And even more amazed at what people are buying. The old adage of “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure” is alive and well here.

But I bring all that up just to intro this picture of one of the food vendors we saw this weekend:

Fried oreos

That’s right. Fried oreos.

And no, I didn’t try them. Though I had to talk my wife out of it (she opted for the tried-and-true funnel cake instead).

I ended up just getting a hand-dipped and fried corn dog.

Sorry Robbie, what’s your point?

I’m curious- does food blogging generate traffic compared to your standard fare?

It is good to see a more intelligent response to these aimless posts other that what Robbie would probably cater for.

It must be hard to have a majority answer your posts with a negative to what your hypothesis suggests you want the answer to be?

Bless you though Robbie. You have you rant which you are entitled to but you are met with such liberal hostility. And within your own country!

You must feel pissed?

I’d have thought a blog would maybe support the one whom airs these views? Your opinions are knocked back left, right and centre!

I do however admire your writing skill. You are more than eloquent in your verse.

Having said that - it’s kinda funny!

BAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
What an idiot, and his second post only reinforces the sentiment.

As for the fried oreos, Robbie, you really do need to get up here for the State Fair, they find a way to fry anything, including Coca-Cola. It starts in September. Come for the corny dogs, and stay for the Sooners ass-whoopin of the Horns.

Preston — I had no idea what you were referring to until I saw that I had inadvertently selected the “Gratuitous Traffic Whoring” tag.

But since you asked, food blogging tends to do pretty well with a regional audience (at least that’s what I’ve found with my BBQ blogging).

Jonny — I have no idea what you are ranting about. Again.

such liberal hostility.
Left by Jonny on August 10th, 2008 at 6:57 pm

yes, sadly, liberals are quite hostile. Better than drunken english queers masquerading as humans though. hey jonny? ok, I am going on vacation tomorrow, might not be here for the comedy provided by preston and jon jon. but Pweston, troll on. Jon Jon, stop by for that beer. No2, thanks for the back up……

I hate to break it to ya, but fried oreos are so…20 years ago.

This is what was new in the fryer at last year’s state fair:

Deep Fried Latte. Fried pastry, cappuccino ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and instant coffee powder.

Fried Cookie Dough. Chilled cookie dough, battered and fried.

Fried Guacamole Bites. Scoop of guacamole, breaded and fried, served with ranch dressing or salsa.

Country Pride Peach Cobbler on a Stick. Peach cobbler with dumplings rolled in pastry dough and fried, covered in brown
sugar and cinnamon, and skewered.

Fernie’s Fried Chili Frito Burrito. Chili and Fritos inside flour tortilla, fried and topped with choice of cheese sauce, shredded cheddar, jalapeos, sour cream, hot sauce, and onions.

B.W.’s Original Fried Banana Pudding. Banana pudding inside fried tortilla, topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar or cinnamon.

That restaurant is probably what you rednecks consider to be a five star establishment in Texas.

I Hate Euro Scum-Suckers,
Enjoy your vacation.
I’m downing this Jamblu and hitting the shower.

Ahh… I was wondering if there was a ‘fair blogging’ culture I wasn’t aware of.

It’s not a restaurant — it’s a food stand. Only euroscum and murder lovers wouldn’t know the difference.

Fried twinkies on a stick!

Left by pam on August 11th, 2008 at 8:45 am

I’ve heard of the fried twinkies and fried coca-cola… but the others blow me away. That’s priceless!

You really can’t beat a corn dog from those little vendors, in my opinion.

Randall, the Fried Guacamole Bites sound awesome. I’d take a full order of those, along with some fried pickles, right now.

Left by Robbie Cooper on August 11th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

I love flea markets and wish we had more of them here in Kansas. Heck, we barely have any antique stores anymore..going out of business right and left. I think we need to start frying something to get things going.

Left by dianne on August 11th, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Deep fried Oreos are awesome and addictive.
