bedsitter23You know, I meant to write about the food at the 2017 Iowa State Fair. Guess, I will hit both years now.
44 Foods were introduced in 2017 and the winner was the Pork Almighty.

Pork almighty starts with of all things, a 32 ounce Soft Drink and ads a"lid" which is a bowl of twisty fries and pulled pork topped with queso sauce, Barbecue sauce, diced onions and green peppers and shredded cheese.
Which makes it about 4 pounds and 1800 calories.
Iowa takes pride in his State Fair. There are a few states that can compete for the title as the State Fair- Texas, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin- but Iowa is in the top five.
2018 brings us the delicious sounding Apple Egg Roll.
The Des Moines Register describes it as: Apple Egg Rolls are two crispy egg roll wrappers filled with apples and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and served with caramel sauce for dipping.

It beat out the pretty self-explanatory Brown Sugar Pork Belly on a Stick and the half pound Belly Up Burger.
The State Fair takes pride in that offers at least 80 things on a stick. To pick a few: Honey on a Stick, Cheddar Bacon Cheese on a Stick, Chocolate covered Key Lime Dream Bar, Coconut Mountain, Deep Fried Pineapple, Chocolate covered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and caramel cocoa crispy crunch.
Innovation!
