20 Fair Foods With Recipes, For The People Missing Everything Deep Fried On A Stick

Something many of us Americans look forward to each year is state and county fairs. Some people go to the fair for the rides, the games, or the petting zoo, but the majority of us go because of the food.

Due to the pandemic, most fairs this year were canceled, but not without some push back from the people. Like most things this year though, the people lost, and many of us had to go without our yearly funnel cakes, pizza on a stick, and cotton candy.

To help with your cravings, I compiled a list of some of the top fair foods and their recipes so you can get your fried food grub on from home this year. Hopefully, one of these hits the spot just right and holds you over until next year.

So, although many of us didn't have the opportunity to attend our local and state fairs this year, hopefully making some of these recipes will make you feel like you did. Now go and make something sweet and fried, because honestly, there's nothing better.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
