I live here in TX about 40 mins N of the State Fair.

Could not contain my yawns.

Never been back never will go. It is like Whataburger people like it nor because it is good but because they are supposed to.

It truly seems to be a State Fair tradition all across the land.

I have seen fried butter, fried ice cream and fried insects.

I wonder if at English faires, they just boil everything until tasteless?

I’ll have this

Crawfish Étouffée Stuffed Turkey Leg
This new Fair food comes from an old recipe that was a Louisiana favorite and brings your taste buds to life after just the first bite. We begin with a tried-and-true favorite, a slow smoked extra-large turkey leg. This juicy, tender leg is smoked extra-long to allow the meat to fall off the bone. After the smoked turkey is at its most tender, we stuff the middle with savory crawfish etouffee. The crawfish étouffée is also cooked a long time to bring the flavors of the “Cajun Trinity” to its fullest flavor. We serve with a side of rice, so you do not miss out on any of the amazing flavors of the sauce. Turkey Legs have never been so amazingly savory. 2021 is going to be the best of the best at the State Fair of Texas, and stuffed turkey legs will be leading the way.
