Somehow the Iowa State Fair has become famous for food on sticks.
You’d think we’d have exhausted all the possibilities after 153 years. Apparently not. According to a Des Moines Register trivia quiz we lack spuds on a stick. Any entrepreneurs out there may want to consider spending the year formulating a whole new spud experience and getting your name on a vendor list.
Let me know if you’ll be doing this and I’ll be happy to give you some blog promotion.
Though I didn’t go looking for food on a stick, apparently, sticked varieties of Twinkies, cheesecake, lamb or pork chops were available. I did experience one unique stick item. I wouldn’t have purchased it, and I don’t think it’s going to catch on, but it was free and moderately tasty.
Ready? The Egg Council handed out….egg on a stick. Hard-boiled, of course.
One other stick item stuck out. In the arts building one of the vendors sold Origami on a stick.
I suggest the following – funnel cake on a stick, onion bloom on a stick and Grand Champion Rocky Mountain Oyster on a stick.

one of my personal favorites...candy bar on a stick. And just so you know, I think you people are crazy for doing fairs in the summer. It's too hot for a fair! LOL! It must be cold enough that your hair almost freezes in the wind as you ride the rides!
