Festival Season – The Difference Between Here and There

It's festival season.  Around these parts we are about to kick off the International BBQ Festival.  Hopefully the rain will hold off and we can have a nice dry time.  Keep the fingers crossed tightly... seriously.

So, we have our mutton and crawfish but other areas celebrate their legacy a little differently.  Like fried scorpions in Arizona... it's all in the list below.  Check it out!!

1.  Fried scorpion.  In Arizona, naturally.

2.  A fried stick of butter, Iowa.

3.  Fried beer, Texas.  It's basically a ravioli with beer inside.  And you have to be over 21 to buy it.

4.  Fried Kool Aid, California.  The Kool Aid is rolled with dough and deep fried.

5.  Fried Ice Cream Cheeseburger, Florida.  You get a cheeseburger with a bun, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato . . . then a deep fried scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

6.  Fried sugar cubes, Texas.

7.  A fried 'Fat Elvis on a Stick,' Wisconsin.  It's peanut butter, chocolate, and bacon rolled in banana batter and deep fried.

8.  Fried White Castle burgers, California.
