<p>My son was a corn dog addict when he was in middle school. Glad those days are over!</p>

<p>A great appetizer is a caprese on a stick - grape tomato, fresh mozzarella chunk, basil leaf. Drizzle with olive oil.</p>

spicy ground lamb cooked on a skewer. Will be making it again soon for friends.</p>

<p>We put mango or pineapple into the blender, pour the contents into an old icecube tray, and insert a heavy-duty toothpick into each space. Three or four hours later, we have instant mini popsicles, which provide an instant cool-down when our temperature and humidity readings top out over 90.</p>

<p>Here’s the winner:</p>

<p>[Deep-fried</a> butter on a stick](<a href=“In Iowa, Deep-Fried Butter on a Stick - The New York Times”>In Iowa, Deep-Fried Butter on a Stick - The New York Times)</p>

<p>Apple Pie on a stick (campfire food). Roast the whole unpeeled apple until the skin loosens & splits. Remove from the fire, carefully remove the skin, then roll the apple in cinnamon and sugar-- roast it again for a bit, until the sugar bubbles.</p>

<p>Deep fried butter on a stick! That is the winner.</p>

<p>Our local Renaissance fare features fried macaroni and cheese on a stick and frozen cheese cake on a stick. They can be the runners up. Imagine them all in satin sashes and tiaras…</p>

<p>And size XXXXXXXXXXXL gowns… :D</p>

<p>I made tri-tip kabobs for dinner last night, sort of food on a stick. :)</p>

<p>I’ve had frozen cheesecake on a stick - sinful. Wen more embarrassing is the pic that could have been taken of 4 of us trying to snarf bites off of one stick - it was disgusting!!! (But good!)</p>

<p>I also immediately thought of the Minnesota State Fair, and I live in California. I figure if you want a comprehensive list of any and all foods that can be served on a stick, ask the MN State Fair people.</p>

17

<p>Agree, coureur! (transplanted Minnesotan living in CA here…) they even sell tshirts with all the various food on a stick options.
That 1/3 lb. piece of bacon on a stick was a sight to behold.</p>

<p>Just as we were leaving the Fair last year, saw one of the entertainment venues with a sign saying Beer on a Stick. Curiosity killed us, just had to see. Turns out it was a stick with three holes, and little beer cups in a flight. And it was good, too! ;)</p>

<p>Here’s the list:</p>
