6 Weirdest State Fair Foods That Make Fried Kool-Aid Look Normal (PHOTOS)

Posted by Adriana Velez

Deep Fried BubblegumCome one, come all for funnel cakes, corn dogs, deep-fried Oreos, and giant grilled turkey legs! State fair season is upon us. Throngs of Americans are strolling fairgrounds all over the country and sampling pretty much anything that can be pinned down, battered, and fried. And while the classics call to most of us, there are those few, those proud, the wacky fair foodstuffs that are maybe better appreciated with the eyes than with the belly.

Check out these six foods from state and county fairs. I hope you've already had lunch.

Pulled Pork Parfait

With mashed potatoes and beans, natch.

Pigs in the Mud

A.K.A. chocolate-covered bacon... with a light dusting of snow?

Country Fried Bacon

Because it's not fattening enough on its own.

Deep Fried Salsa

Why not save yourself the trouble of dipping and fry the chips to the outside of the salsa?

Walking Taco

Sounds far weirder than it really is -- just a taco in a bag you can walk around with.

Deep Fried Taste of Autumn

Batter fried leaves raked from the lawn? Nope. Pumpkin pie filling with ginger snaps.

Would you try any of the above State Fair foods?

What is the weirdest State Fair food you have heard of?

What is your FAVORITE State Fair food?

I would try the pulled pork, Pumpkin Pie filling and the chocolate covered bacon.

We have done Walking Tacos while camping many times. 

The bubble gum sounds so GROSS!!! That's got to be the weirdest one I have ever heard of.

I LOVE Corn Dogs!

Fair foods are not yum or yuck, they are an experience! Lol we usually order a couple of the odder ones and everyone samples. :)

I love fair foods!!

I have had the walking tacos before. They are so good.

I would try the Pulled Pork Parfait and the Deep Fried Autumn.

The weirdest thing I tried was the deep fried Dr. Pepper...lol

My absolute favorite fair food is a good old fashioned funnel cake with strawberries and powered sugar.

The majority of all the crazy fair foods usually debut at our state fair, and so it's fun hearing about them in August.

The Deep Fried Autumn sounds really good. I'd definitely try that!

From our state fair, Sweet Martha's Cookies and Fried Cheese Curds are a must. Those are usually the only two things I get when we go there.

Funnel Cake, Candy Apples and Saltwater Taffy..... yummmm

[Barabell]

Oh, I forgot the weirdest state fair food. Ours usually sells exotic meats, and I think that's weird. I haven't tried any of it, and so I can't remember exactly what the meats are. I believe alligator is one of the meats.

I would try the last one.
