It’s that time of year again - when families pack up and head out to the fair.  This year, I had the priviledge of visiting the annual Los Angeles County Fair.  A plethora of food can be found here from just about anything fried, to bbq, and turkey legs.  Here’s a few of things we tried when we were there…

First stop was the chocolate covered bacon - yes, it is EXACTLY what it sounds like.  A strip of bacon, covered in chocolate and chilled to keep the chocolate in a solid form in the 95+ degree temperatures.  Luckily, it doesn’t taste like what it looks like, and instead reminded me a bit of a snickers bar… sweet and then salty.  We weren’t huge fans of it, but most definitely had to try it.

Next up was the fried oreos.  These were definitely a pleasant surprise.  The cookie itself was almost melted and the cream had absorbed into it.  It was like eating a wonderful lava cake in batter - probably the favorite of the day.

Next up was the fried twinkie.  What has come to be a fair staple, it was as expected - like eating a donut that was richer, creamier, and still a little bit spongy.

After all those fried foods, it was a little hard to eat any other sweets - we were already on sugar overload.  But to be sure, there were plenty others to try next year!
