deep fried oreos are for everyone
Posted on August 31st, 2008 in fair food, desserts
the michigan state fair sucks. it is expensive, boring, and in the middle of murder city aka detroit. your dining options include a corn dog, a corn dog, or a corn dog, washed down with a tiny cup of three dollar lemonade or a slightly larger cup of five dollar lemonade. i speak from experience, but the fair was not a total loss BECAUSE I ATE A DEEP FRIED OREO. i realize that eating deep fried oreos is seriously disgusting, and seriously hazardous to my health, but do you blame me?!
they were battered and fried right before my very own eyes by this slightly sick and tired fair-stand man. his stand also offered deep fried twinkies and deep fried snickers bars, but priced at 4 dollars a piece, they are for another day and another fair.
the oreos came hot on a paper plate, sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate syrup.
they were hot, sweet, and doughnut-y on the outside. the oreo on the inside had turned soft and cake-like. i wrapped one up in a napkin and carried it around the fair to bring home to chris so he too could experience the magic of a deep fried oreo. i don’t think he was as enchanted by them as i was, but no one ever is.
Stumble it!

We went to the fair in the cow-capital of our county, Monroe, and I had the same food disappointment. I could have chosen from ten different booths selling hamburgers or seven stands selling corndogs. I chose corn on the cob, sold by the Kiwanis. It was actually good, but not exactly the feast I’d hoped for. WTH? Don’t they think maybe they’d make more money selling good food? Maybe not. I wish our fair had deep fried oreos.

I just had a thought– maybe deep fried oreos are for murdering city folk?

the michigan state fair in general was disappointing. our fair basically has two horses that are miserable and stink, a bunch of city people staring at a tractor thinking it is a rare and exciting thing, a couple of dried out rotten gourds, and a bunch of corn dogs.
i think detroit scared away all the good food vendors
i wouldn’t want to come here with my deep fried cookie dough or spaghetti on a stick either. we didn’t even have corn! x( at least you got corn.
what state are you in?
