SPAM® Sushi and Other Minnesota State Fair Foods

The Minnesota State Fair will run August 25th through September 5th in St. Paul. In addition to the funnel cakes, gyros, and deep-fried candy bars on a stick, they have announced new culinary treats for this year. Topping the list is  SPAM® Sushi, described as “grilled SPAM®, sushi rice, fried egg, and wasabi rolled in nori (dried seaweed).” Nothing says “state fair” like SPAM® Sushi! Other new foods include Candied Bacon Donut Sliders, Cheesy French Onion Monkey Bread, Deep Fried Nachos Supreme, the Reuben Pickle Dog (which is not a hot dog at all, but a pickle and sauerkraut wrapped in a slice of corned beef), Paneer on a Spear, Macaroni & Cheese Curds, deep-fried SPAM® Curds, and more. Frankly, I covet the Strawberry Donut Delight, which is strawberry shortcake made with a glazed donut in place of cake. You can see the entire menu of new fair foods at the Minnesota State Fair website. -via Buzzfeed

Engaged to Unidentified is a sweet and funny story about a high school girl who suddenly finds she is engaged to a boy from somewhere out in the mountains.

Description from Crunchyroll.com:

Yonomori Kobeni is a high school student who leads a pretty normal life... and then the day of her 16th birthday arrives. Despite having very little presence, her fiance, Mitsumine Hakuya shows up suddenly along with her sister-in-law, a little girl named Mitsumine Mashiro. Without any prior explanation, they begin their peculiar life together. Kobeni's older sister, Yonomori Benio, who has has a sister complex and is a bit of a pervert is thrown into the mix and things get even weirder. Kobeni's life is no longer normal.

Since you didn't mention these, I'll just throw them out. Mostly from the the recently-ended 2014 Fall season. Lately I seem to be more focused on slice-of-life with cute girls, so keep that in mind with regards to a few of these...

Parayste. By far this is at the #1 spot for me. Everything works well: the art, the music, the story. It's a long series, continuing into the Winter season. Definitely not a cutesy series.

World Trigger. Another long series, and one that seems to have people divided. I'm liking it a lot. Some are complaining that the animation is minimal, but for someone who grew up with Hanna-Barbara cartoons, I never really noticed it until pointed out.

I have to mention Celestial Method, because I liked that one too, and it's getting blasted. Some of the complaints are valid, but overall, if I were liable to import something, this would be it. The only reason I'm not is that I'm 75% into importing something from the summer, and it's just too expensive.

Kokkuri-san walked that fine line between humor and seriousness.

I've picked up KanColle, but the first episode had me underwhelmed. I guess I was hoping for something more akin to Arpeggio. I'll give it a few more episodes, but I'm a bit disappointed because this was my most anticipated.

I've also heard that "Working!" (Wagnaria) is getting a third season "soon", so I caught up on the first two, and I liked it enough to look forward to another season.

There are others, but way too much to talk about in one sitting!
