Top Five Treats That Are Busting Fair Goers Waistlines This Year

The South Plains Fair is a week away and it's time for us to hit the two a day workouts. Why? Fried deliciousness! Every year a group of my co workers go out just to eat and eat and eat their favorite fair foods and to sample whats new for the year. What can we expect to see at the SPF this year that will add a couple of pounds and make our taste buds short circuit with delight? Here are the Top 5 Fair Foods you have to try this year.

Bacon Ice Cream

Bacon these days is on everything! Bacon + Ice Cream. It’s the perfect combination of salty and sweet. A hint of smoky bacon with the perfect sweetness of vanilla cream. The pieces of candied bacon are perhaps the best part.

Duke’s Poutine

A staple in the north, Texans' better get ready for gravy covered heaven. Fried potatoes covered in a beef based gravy and topped with chedder cheese, Thats it. Dead issue. You have to try them.

Ragin’ Ankles

These slow-smoked, super tender pork shanks are perfectly tangy and sweet with just a hint of spice. And everything nice.

Sweetie’s Delight

Mr. Potato & Sweetie stand will surely have a line. They take mashed sweet potatoes, douse them in a light, crunchy batter and deep fry them to perfection. They’re then served with more sweet  whipped cream and powdered sugar.

Wine Smoothies

This might be just what the doctor ordered if the sun breaks and the temps climb. These delightful smoothies are a serious must. Here in Lubbock there is not any alcohol allowed at the Fair but times they are changing. Keep your fingers crossed for next year.
