The Great Minnesota Get Together!

The Minnesota State Fair - the annual "Great Minnesota Get Together" - resembles, I assume, most other US State Fairs.  However, I do believe there is one distinct difference: the presence of an incredible amount of foods served on a stick.  I have no idea of the origin of this practice - I'm by no means a Minnesota native - but here is an opportunity to sample some of the variety.

 
Coating Oreos in Batter...Hmmm....Batter
 
Gyro
 
Candy Bars are usually too healthy, so it makes sense to deep fry them.
 
Just like the Italians intended
 
I'll give you a foot long hot dog...
 
Nothing to do with food, but, man I used to love Magnum!
 
It looks so good in the picture, it must be so tasty!
 
Cheese on a stick? These people aren't even trying.
 
I have a feeling this involves buying corn dogs in bulk and taking off the corn.
 
For those of you who have no clue what "hotdish" is, find someone from the midwest and ask them. (basically a casserole)
 
Chinese food on a stick? Interesting. OSTRICH on a stick? I heard it tastes like chicken.
 
Not funny if you're a Florida Gator fan.
 
Doesn't fit in the picture: a booth for DEEP FRIED CHEESE CURDS. Skimmed off of the top of milk when making cheese - and God's gift to humans (along with beer)
 
Not on a stick, but I love saying to my wife: "Honey, you want a Nut Roll?"
 
Pork Burger? The cow-pig combination I've been looking for.
 
Smore
 
I'm pretty sure the Belgians don't do this at their fairs.
 
This is that "Fudge Puppie". I've heard that saying before, but not in reference to food.
 
Potato chips.
 
I want to name my house - or at least the bedroom - the "Sausage Station"
 
A sea of Minnesotans who will produce tons of methane tonight after eating all this food.
