In just two days the Illinois State Fair will be opening the gates and I’ll be on a mission to find freak, fun and fabulous fair foods to share with you. In the meantime, check out this fair stand I found last year that deep fried everything from salty pickles to sweet Twinkies. I even worked up the nerve to try some deep fried Oreos, which if you are wondering were completely disgusting!
Rob says
I love Fried Mushrooms. YUMMY!!!! Happy WW! I wonder how the Twinkies would taste!
Bridgette says
At least they have sweet tea! LOL!
Lori @My Kinda Rain says
Fried Oreos are awesome!!! Just sayin….
Katie says
We purposely plan our trip to my home state (Minnesota) around the MN State Fair each year so I can get my share of deep fried goodness on a stick ๐
Enjoy!!
Jacqueline says
I love fried mushrooms, but everything else doesn’t sound very appetizing to me or my waistline, lol. On a side note, I can’t wait until our state fair opens in late August! ๐
Courtney says
I actually 2nd the deep fried oreos being awesome. My 2nd favorite after Zeppoles ๐ Although yours looks a bit yellow. Maybe a different batter.

Julia says
Ick I am so not a fried food person. LOL
Sarah says
Who comes up with this stuff? Like others have mentioned, maybe the mushrooms. As for the rest, maybe some things just shouldn’t be fried.
Nicole says
Ewww . . . although fried ice-cream does make me a bit curious.
Rhea says
LOL! I took a picture at our fair this past July, too of the deep fried stand. This year, they had deep fried BUTTER. *gag* I bet you’ll see that, too.

The Iowa state fair is this week too. I don’t know about fried oreos, but I just posted a recipe for oven fried pickles. Fried pickles are suprisingly delicious!
