12 New Texas State Fair Foods That'll Literally Make You Gasp
Howdy y'all, welcome to the Fried State of Texas.
1. Doritos Bacon Mozzarella Cheese Stick
How could I resist the decadence?
2. Fried Jell-o
This is more like a deep-fried cupcake with a jell-o, center and I am into it.
3. Fernie's Down Home Chicken Pot Pie Pocket with Mac 'n' Cheese Dip
Wait. What? Yes, all of this served up in golden flaky goodness. Fernie just cranks out the best of the fried fare every year.
4. Dr. Pepper Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
If Texas has a soul, it'd be made of this ice cream.
5. Crunchy Fried Oinker
A Texas-sized pulled pork slider for your Texas-sized taste buds. Served with a broccoli cole slaw, because you can't forget your vegetables.
6. Edible Cola
"Sip and bite" are the instructions given after ordering a soda that comes in an edible cotton candy flavored cup. If Mark Cuban likes it, then it must be worth something, right?
7. Southern Fried Chicken n' Dumplins
More fried carbs? Great, let's add some gravy this time.
8. Deep Fried Pulled Pork Funyun Ding
This is a funyun stuffed with pulled pork, cheese, pineapple, and bacon. Need I say more?
9. Fried Lite: Salmon Croquettes
Had a little too much breading for the day? These salmon croquettes are tasty and only lightly fried so you have plenty of room for all the french fries the come with.
10. Cookie Fries
These are a big hit this year, winning for "Most Creative." They're creative all right, and tasty as heck.
11. Injectable Great Balls of BBQ
The concept behind this idea is freaking genius: Inject the barbacue sauce into the ball so the outside stays crisp, instead of getting soggy from the sauce.
12. Deep Fried Cannoli Bites
Don't question what makes this like a cannoli — just taste the sugary goodness and slip into your deep food coma.
