Food in Texasland

This week, tens of thousands of Oklahomans traveled to Dallas for the OU/Texas game. But perhaps the bigger event was happening just outside the Cotton Bowl.

The Texas State Fair is the largest state fair in the county and probably has the largest average attendee. On top of that, it's also home to the most terrifying picture ever taken in human history:

 

And although they unveiled a new, less haunting Big Tex this year, that's not why people go to the fair. They go for the $10 corn dogs, fried butter and chocolate-covered bacon.

This year, perennial award-winners Fried Food Capital of Texas completely changed the game with their new creation: Fried Thanksgiving Dinner. I mean isn't Thanksgiving terrible for you anyway? We probably shouldn't expect anything different from the people who brought you fried bubble gum.

 

Even though OU blew a chance to end Mack Brown's coaching career at Texas, we can all be happy that there is still a place in the world where people turn liquid Nutella into a form that you can eat without bothering to ruin it with anything else.
