    America's Wacky Fair Foods

    By Justine Sterling, Food & Wine

    Cotton candy, corn dogs and candy apples once ruled the midway at the local fair, but visitors now want food that's exotic--as long as it's on a stick, or more importantly, fried. From health-defying anomalies like fried dough injected with Pepsi to squirm-inducing chocolate-dipped scorpions, the new sideshow is food. Here, Food & Wine names America's wacky fair foods.

      California: Python Kebabs
      After realizing that visitors to the California Exposition & State Fair wanted more adventurous foods, vendor George Sandefur changed his offerings from chicken to foods that "taste like chicken." Grilled python kebabs seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, Old Bay and lemon-pepper are a new favorite. Sacramento, Jul. 12-21.
