I of course went immediately to the Minnesota State Fair foods article in the most recent issue. It was only OK -- seems like a lot more could have been said about the various foods available, their history or popularity or strangeness or whatever -- and a lot less said about the woman behind Sweet Martha's Cookies, which are very popular so of course did deserve a mention but not much more than that.
I read that article today. I enjoyed it, but it left me with a question: Can you get refills of a bucket? If those buckets are plastic, they're not particularly environmentally friendly--and how many get sold at the fair? (That illustration on the first page doesn't seem to match the description of the buckets in the text, which says they have red plastic handles.)
But the really important questions are if the have deep-fried pickles and deep-fried butter?
