State Fair Food-Chocolate Covered Bacon!
It's Minnesota's Great Get Together here in Saint Paul--and State Fair time brings out new (and crazy) food combinations. This year, one of the most talked about new fair foods is Pig Lickers, which consists of 4-5 short slices of crisp bacon covered in a thick coating of dark chocolate...described as smoky, chocolately and porky. Also new this year is a Pickle Sickle--frozen pickle juice push-up.
What are some unusual foods showing up at your state fair, serious eaters?

Man that sounds good, no great, no artery clogging. :) I wonder if that will make it to the state fair in Oklahoma. I always love fried cheese and of course funnel cakes. I don't think there is any weird or unusual tastes here.

though he may. not be the first ever, Michael Symon came up with this on his first episode of Dinner Impossible:

and the "recipe," such as it is, is here:

This only aired in the last few weeks. If it was the first time these folks heard of this food isn't it amazing how quickly they put together a business to sell it!

I actually had a candy bar awhile back that had little bits of bacon throughout it. It was good, but not amazing. I liked the combination though, so I bet the slices of bacon dipped in chocolate would become an addiction for me.
