A Banquet On-a-Stick

The Minnesota State Fair is one of the marks of the end of summer. What I failed to realize is the intensity in which Minnesotans go about the Fair. There are many who actually plot their once-a-year food path. Some strategize on how many days they'll make it to the Fair. The first initial question is not what you saw at the Fair or what you did at the Fair, but what you ATE at the Fair.

One of the actual food categories is "On-a-Stick." You can find 79 booths were some type of food can be eaten on a stick. One of my favorite descriptions was from Ole and Lena's:

NEW foods this year: Deep Fried Norwegian Banana Split (banana wrapped in lefse, deep fried and topped with ice cream, chocolate, pineapple and strawberries) and Krumkake, made fresh and rolled into a horn shape then filled with whipped cream and topped with your choice of fresh fruit! Tater tot hot dish on-a-stick with cream of mushroom dipping sauce, Uff Da treat (a filled krumkake topped with caramel sauce and butter roasted pecans)

A Banquet On-a-Stick: In All Its Glory!
