The exhibition is in town this week, and the hubby and I went on the first day ... not for the rides, but for the food and music. Mariana's Trench was playing, and they put on a pretty good show; however it wasn't as good as the first time we saw them in a small, indoor venue many years ago. They have become much more mainstream now.
I ate a small corn dog, and it was sooooo good!
I also had a few bites of the hubby's pizza:
And 2 of his mini donuts:
We didn't eat this guy, but we were amazed by his many horns.
Apparently, Jacob Sheep can grow up to 6 horns - cuuuuuute!
Before the concert we shared a colossal onion. This was new to our fair this year, and we just had to try it. First the onion is flowered with a special machine. Then they dip the onion in batter and fry it. After that, the onion is cored, and a dip is placed in the middle.
It is basically like onion rings, but much cooler.
Have you ever had a colossal onion?
What is your favourite food to get at the fair/ex?

I've also heard of those being called 'flowering onions'. And I learned that from the show Buffy, weirdly enough. :)
Hmmmmmmm mini donuts! Best. Thing. Ever!
i LOVE mini donuts!
that IS my childhood memory of the fair! And food on a stick!
I've never heard of the onion thing before! My Mum LOVES onion rings so I'll have to take her to the fair this year to see if we can find it.
I think we might go to the ex tomorrow. I love cotton candy and the mini donuts. I've heard they have a donut burger there this year, where the "bun" for the burger is a donut cut in half. Not sure about that, but the onion looks pretty good. Looks like the onions they have at Outback Steakhouse.
Yum. Fair-type food is so yummy. I love corn dogs. I miss them (can't have them since they have gluten). but yum.
a restaurant in this area serves those onions and they call them a blooming onion. So delish!
The blooming onion looks amazing, and I have so much extra buttermilk I could definitely make an excuse to make that onion!
And woah. That sheep is insane.
I'm so jealous - I LOVE Marianas Trench! Looks like an awesome time all around :)
Fair food is the beeeest! I love the mini donuts, giant hot dogs, elephant ears (I don't know if they are there this year) and slushies!
HELL YEAH I love those onions! They are the worst thing for you but that batter and that sauce is to die for! I love getting fried oreos at the fair!
Those onions look amazing! I want to learn how to make it one of these days.
That all looks fabulous! I love to get fried cheese :)
I have yet to try a colossal onion!!!! I'm putting it on my todo list! haha.
