A deep-fried, bacon-wrapped fair season is here

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — It's state fair season around the country, the time
of year for over-the-top food.

The New York State Fair opened in Syracuse this week with an offering
called a "Twinx." It's a Twinkie stuffed with a Twix candy bar, wrapped
in bacon, deep fried and drizzled with chocolate-caramel sauce.

Creators of fair concoctions say they work all year to outdo themselves
and the other vendors vying for the attention of an ever more expectant
public.

Despite fat and calorie counts that would make anyone cringe, Lucy Long
of the Center for Food and Culture in Bowling Green, Ohio, says fair
food can be good for you — at least psychologically. She says that's
because occasionally indulging reinforces better habits and satisfies
the craving for novelty.

That sounds simply awful.

The world is full of trashy people who would think that sounds good.

Janet, would that be a deep-fried pickle-on-a-stick, as found at fairs? LOL.
