Kolina! Lifelong Minnesotan here, complete and total Fair enthusiast. The taqitos and Nordic waffles look amazing. I tried the 3 piggies on a stick: amazing. Also the Jamaican lemonade. And the berry-and-cheese plate drizzled with hot honey in the Grandstand. Can’t remember the name of the restaurant!🤬 Lingonberry honey ice cream: wasn’t thrilled. Love your idea of book pairings but I’ll have to get back to you. Reading: Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner.
Coincidentally, I’ve been struggling with a State Fair-themed post. How to do justice to this event that’s so significant to our state? Thank you for your foodie/bibliophile take on it. Maybe we should tag our fellow Minnesota Substackers. It could be fascinating to hear different perspectives.
I'm incredibly hungry and envious right now.
Hahah the food was so good! I’m hungry now too.
Brilliant post, Kolina!! Those taquitos look so good....
They were!!! I could’ve used a tiny bit more spice but the flavor was so good I let it slide. Thanks so much for reading! 🫶🏽
My two pleasures in life in one post. Food and books!
I wrote it just for people like you! (And me.) ☺️

That looks like a blast Kolina! I have never been to a state fair but we always went to the county fair when I was a kid. I miss those days!
What a fun read! I miss Minnesota ❤️
