Food on a Stick #26, Popcorn Ball in Liquid Nitrogen
Every year, the folks at Murphy’s bring interesting new treats to the Kentucky State Fair. In 2010, they had a fancy new liquid nitrogen set-up.

Food on a Stick #25, Fair Squares

Food on a Stick #21, Vegetarian Corn Dog
This was highest on the list of Foods on a Stick to find at the Iowa State Fair, the vegetarian corn dog. It’s interesting to me that of all places to find this, it was in Iowa. I was surprised that the state #1 in pork production and in the top 10 of beef production…
