Get your cotton candy, get your hot dogs, grab your burgers and throw a fritter in there, too. How about a hot beef sundae…What’s that? This is just one of the top ten most unusual fair foods, according to MSN Delish. Chuck posted about these bad boys way back in 2006, and it seems their popularity hasn’t faded away yet. In fact, two weeks ago in Denver, the National Beef Ambassadors demonstrated how to prepare these hot beef sundaes. Here is an excerpt from the article, and I have linked to the ambassador recipe below for your convenience. You can check out the ambassador blog here to learn more, too!
Touted as comfort food at its finest, the hot beef sundae is a generous helping of buttery mashed potatoes surrounded by slow-roasted roast beef and gravy, sprinkled with Cheddar cheese, and garnished with a cherry tomato. It may look like a sundae, but this baby is all Sunday dinner.
Other foods that joined Hot Beef Sundaes on the list included: chicken fried bacon, fried avocado bites, spaghetti and meatball on a stick, fried frog legs, pizza cones, Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich, fried Coca Cola and Key Lime Pie on a stick. Well, I guess if it can be put on a stick and fried, you have a tasty state fair treat! Watch out arteries!
