Texas State Fair trip prep. Friday, 9/27/13

The Texas State Fair opens today and we are planning to go this weekend, a good 4-5 hour drive from us.  At the State Fair the unwritten rule is that food must be either deep fried or put on a stick, both if possible.  My plan is to break out or the Primal Challenge and eat total crap until I puke. Literally. It usually makes it easier to turn down crap food for a while after that.  Each item bought is shared by 3 people.  I have been reviewing the flyer and have identified a slew of crap to eat, to include (listed in no particular order):

Fried banana pudding

bbq brisket crunchy tacos

bbq brisket egg rolls

fried jalapenos - actually pretty normal in Texas, I mean you can get these on fast food burgers at more than one chain so we may pass on these.

fried pies, not at all unusual but oh please have apricot

avocado krispy fries - yes, fried slices of avocado

Krispy Kreme burger, I might have to beg off on this one as I do not mix sweet with meat, yeah no sweet & sour for me either.

deep fried red velvet cupcake

deep fried shrimp & grits

deep fried spaghetti & meatballs

deep fried chicken & waffle - if there is syrup involved it is an issue

Fried bacon cinnamon roll - I will be expected to try and will but I already freak out if my bacon touches anything sweet. Won most creative last year.

Pig poppers 

Deep fried Cuban roll - this year's best taste winner, I am skeptical.  And if the line is too crazy i will skip.

Fried Thanksgiving dinner - this year's most creative winner. Only if the lines are not bad.

Awesome deep fried Nutella - a finalist this year

Fernie's deep fried King Ranch casserole  - a finalist this year

Golden fried Millionaire pie - a finalist this year - oh yeah

Southern style deep fried meatloaf - a finalist this year

Spinach dip bites - a finalist this year

Texas fried fireball - a finalist this year

Bacon dog on a stick

Fried banana on a stick

Deep fried chocolate chip burrito

deep fried elote  - if you need tracers for your system

pig toes on a stick

spicy spam empanadas

deep fried creole boulette - not as weird as it sounds, basically fried tilapia that has been seasoned blackened before being deep fried. so spicy fried fish.

fried shrimp & cheese jalapeno

deep fried BBQ wontons - they say these are new this year but I had the beef version these in 2009 but they were called boomerangs.  and they were really good. will try the pulled pork version as well.

fried collard greens

What, no fried butter!?! Fried butter is my favorite!  I plan on coming back here to comment on this list after I recover but that might take a while.  I am planning on tweeting during the extravaganza at @HeyDianneHey .  I am hoping that no one backs out as I have hotel rooms booked already.
