Fair Food On a Stick: 59 Choices

Pair the words "fair food" with "stick," and I think corn dogs. How pedestrian! How normal! How so early 1940s. That's how long corn dogs have been fair food according to the corn dog history lesson at Food Services of America.

These days, the options for what you can lick, bite, chew, nibble or chaw on as you wander through the Midway or take in stellar entertainment options like pot-bellied pig races are dizzying. Here's a video "Minnesota State Fair on a Stick" that serves as an ode to a summer and fall of not-so-healthy eating. The variety of people featured are as varied as the food. Unfortunately, this fair ended on Labor Day, but if you head to any fair or festival there's bound to be food on sticks.
