Foods on a Stick at the Fair

It's Fair time. That annual rite of passage beckoning in Autumn that occurs in many regions around the world. This is the place to put your best foot forward and show everyone what you can do. Show the best cake; the best cow; and yes, the best food on a stick. The race is on to figure out just how many different foods can be put on a stick to increase their portability. This list barely scratches the surface of foods on a stick. But here they are in no particular order:

From down Louisiana way there is Alligator on a Stick-a bayou regional favorite but can be found in Northern venues. Not especially thrilled with the thought of eating an alligator? Than consider a pork chop on a stick this can be especially flavorful if you add Cajun spices or you favorite seasonings. A variation of this one is the tenderloin on the stick. Look Mom no bone! Than for the hardy person there is steak on a stick! You can just squirt on some of your favorite steak sauce and be off. Hum..wonder if you can locate a baked potato with sour cream? Sticking with beef one can have a beef kabob and make Mom happy because you eat your veggies! There is also a sausage kabob, same principle just different meet. Keeping with political correctness there is also a pork kabob. And can you believe corn beef and cabbage on a stick? Not sure how they managed this one but it sure tasted good. And another one that leaves me wondering how they do it Sloppy Joes on a stick. Pick up extra napkins for this one You'll probably use them. Than believe it or not spaghetti and meatballs on a stick. They wrap the spaghetti around the meatball and deep fry. Just to include all meat groups there is also the offering of lamb on a stick!

Let's not forget about a Reuben Dog on a stick-a sausage gingerly wrapped in sauerkraut and dipped in pumpernickel batter. Of course there is that classic corn dogs. These things come in all sizes and are a carnival tradition. Than there is the cheese hot dog not real messy as the cheese is on the inside of the hot dog. And for the more daring a wild rice beef dog on a stick
