You can now make your favorite fair-inspired dishes yourself. We’ve got 13 fair food recipes for you so you can create these tasty meals at home!
In Indiana, we’re known for our outrageous fair food. Deep-fried s’mores. Philly cheesesteak bison egg rolls. Cinnamon Toast Crunch funnel cakes. Deep-fried golden Oreos. My husband prefers a ribeye sandwich, while the kids typically go for corn dogs. I personally want a pork burger, an ear of corn, and funnel cake. Wash it down with a Dairy Barn milk shakeup and I’m in State Fair heaven! cake.
