Every year, the New York State Fair offers some abnormally insane “fair food,” a melange of meats and cheeses and sugars and deep-frying.Β A few years ago, it was the Defibrillator, a beef patty with bacon and fixings, wrapped between two grilled cheese sandwiches.Β A couple of years ago, it was deep-fried matzo balls at the Kosher stand, which were just delicious.Β DE-LISH-US.
This year, the New York State Fair’s “fair food” to try is something called Sudden Death.
I shall let the Fair’s Twitter account explain what a “Sudden Death” is.
That’s Atkins-friendly, right? π
Now my usual tactic is that if I pick up a decent ribbon (second-or-better in the arts and crafts building, or any sort of ribbon in the photography wing), I’ll get one of these “fair food” cholesterol bullets.
So let’s up the challenge.
I followed up the New York State Fair’s Twitter post … with a reply of my own.
So here’s the deal.Β In a week and a half, I’m schlepping nine entries – six photos and three art projects – to Syracuse.Β A week and a half after that, I should receive the nine postcards o’ doom.Β But if anything gets through – if I earn at least second place or better with my three crafted art projects OR a ribbon of any sort with any of my six photographs – then I’ll traipse over to the Fried Specialties booth and order one of these Sudden Death sandwiches.Β Along with a Diet Cola.Β Because as we all know, diet colas counterbalance fatty foods.
And, just for the sake of argument, if I get my first blue ribbon in the arts and crafts center (which would be my best showing ever in that area; one of my soda crate hope chests claimed a second-place in 2017), or if I snag a blue ribbon in the photography salon (which would be my first blue in that field since waaaaaay back in 2011), then I’ll get one of these crunchy-munchies to eat … and then purchase another one for the road back to Albany.
I’m sure this will hold for a three-hour journey, won’t it?
So if you want to see Chuck chow down on totally healthy and totally deep fried victuals…
Let’s hope for some blue silks, okay?
Just get pics there kick ass , bring home the bacon? No seriously you do not need a heart attack on the thruway…best of luck, fingers eyes crossed.

somehow, i don’t think it’ll be a good eat after it cools down – not that I dont’ want you to have to buy the 2nd…it is an interesting combination – I’d almost give it a whirl –
