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
