The end of Summer Break is nearly here, and that means it’s time for our annual trip to the Minnesota State Fair. Whether it’s surveying prize-winning livestock, taking in a show at the Grandstands or simply wandering and sightseeing, there’s something for everyone; making it one of the most looked forward to events of the summer. One thing Safe Food Training is really excited about is what the Minnesota food community comes up with. Each year talented chefs seem to push the envelope further and further.
A Preview of the Minnesota Food Community at this Year’s State Fair
Judging from a preview of Minnesota food community vendors, we’ll have quite the challenge of deciding which new foods from the mn food community to sample. With everything from Venezuelan pulled pork to breakfast gnocchi, we may actually need to take several days off of teaching food safety training classes to get our fill. Some highlights we’ve seen include:
- Pickle Pizza
- Tandoori Rolls
- French Vegan Sliders
- Sweet Potato Poutine
And that’s just a brief drive-by. We’re definitely going to have to loosen our belts this year. We’re also looking forward to all of the standard fair desserts from the Minnesota food Community. Deep fried ice cream, cotton candy floats and many more selections will tempt fair goers even further.
JUST RELEASED – “The Minnesota State Fair announces 47 brand-new beverages premiering or found only at the 2022 fair. In addition, there will be 43 returning beverages found only at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. In all, the fair features 300+ brews and beverages”. We’re sure that Minnesotan craft brewers will be bringing their best to compliment all of the great foods as we wander from vendor to vendor.
Are you planning on taking in the sights, sound and cuisine of this year’s Minnesota State Fair? We hope we see you there either in front or behind the counter!
