In what's become informally known as the Fried What ? contest, the State Fair of Texas each year announces its Big Tex Choice Awards for best tasting and most creative concession foods.

This year's winners will be announced on Monday (Labor Day) at 9 a.m.

The finalists competing for the 2011 high honors, with fanciful descriptions furnished by the State Fair, are:

Buffalo chicken in a flapjack:

"A buffalo chicken strip is coated in flapjack batter, rolled in jalapeno bread crumbs, deep fried to a golden brown, skewed, and served with a side of syrup. Crowd pleasing appetizer or a meal in itself!"


Deep-fried pineapple upside down cake:

"Fresh and sweet pineapple rings are delicately dipped in cake batter, fried, and coated with a caramel, sugar, and cinnamon glaze. What tropical treat is complete without a cherry on top?"


Deep-fried Texas salsa:

"This spicy medley of jalapenos, roasted garlic, onion, tomato, and pepper is rolled together, dipped in masa, and covered in crunchy tortilla chips. Into the fryer and served with warm, deliciously creamy queso."


El Bananarito:

"In case you are wondering, it's a deep fried banana rolled in a flour tortilla, topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, a dusting of cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla extract. Top it off with your choice of smooth, hot caramel or decadent chocolate syrup."


Fried autumn pie:

"Fairgoers will fall for this hard to resist puff pastry infused with a scrumptious combination of pumpkin, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and fall spices. Deep fried and rolled in ginger, cinnamon, and sugar. "


Fried bubblegum:

"You'll swear it's bubblegum! A light as a feather bubble gum flavored marshmallow is dipped in batter and lightly fried to perfection. Decorated with a swirl of icing. A final sprinkling of powdered sugar completes this treat! It will blow you away!"


Hans' kraut ball:

"A conglomeration of taste: browned pork sausage, onion, garlic, a zing of sauerkraut, mustard, and tasty seasonings all rolled into a mouth-watering ball of delight. Covered with seasoned bread crumbs, deep fried, and served with your choice Spicy Mustard, Rasberry Chipotle, or Ranch."


Walking taco:

"Stroll down the Midway with this concoction of seasoned hamburger meat, lettuce, onion, fresh tomato, grated cheese, sour cream, and tasty salsa. Inventively served up in a Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos bag!

They usually have different entries every year. It would be foolish to submit a fried goody that had previously been entered.

Some of those fried treats sound yummy.

[LIPH]

Except for the pie, I don't like pumpkin, and the bubblegum I'd probably try all of them.

I've had walking tacos before. I'll pass on the FRIED concoctions.... where's the FRIED cheeseburger?

A family that is at a farm market with me makes jams. They do a peach chipotle that is amazing. Great as a glaze, marinade, dressing...
