Spaghetti and Meatballs on a Stick

Not to make light of the Katrina situation...but a few of you requested a picture of the "Spaghetti and Meatballs on a Stick" from the Minnesota State Fair.

For the record, I did not try one. I was going to buy a ball...but then I threw up a little in my mouth and...well...I can do what I want, so I didn't buy one. I did chat with one of the workers, however. Here's how one creates the "Spaghetti and Meatballs on a Stick."

1. Mix the meatball up and add the spaghetti noodles INTO the mix.

2. Add about two more servings per meatball, as it's the fair, and everything has to be XL at the fair.

3. Dip the ball mass in garlic batter and deep fry it.

4. Let it sit in a warming light until some poor sap in a fanny pack and dark socks says, "Mmmm I'll have that one."

5. Coat/dip the entire thing in marinara sauce and hand it over.

6. Watch the people consume it in 4 seconds.

7. Notice the snobby lawyer-chick from South Dakota over at the cheese curd booth sneering at the nastiness of the Spaghetti and Meatballs while she coats her own hand with fried cheese grease.

8. Laugh at the irony.

It was a fun trip.
