The Best Livestock Show and Carnival Foods in Texas

We are smack dab in the middle of Livestock Shows and Rodeos in Texas. Many kids get to show their prize livestock, earning ribbons and prize money for all their hard work. It's also a time for the Carnival and Fair Food! Let's take a look at the top carnival food in Texas!

Corndogs: A true American favorite! It's easy to handle walking around the fairgrounds. Be sure to slather it with mustard or ketchup, and enjoy the yumminess!

Turkey Legs: Oh yeah, you'll see smoked turkey legs everywhere on the midway. Whether young or old, the turkey leg is a carnival favorite.

Candied Apples: Another carnival fun food on a stick. It comes in many great combos: red candied and caramel with or without nuts.  

Cotton Candy: Take sugar, add color, spin it, and you have a sugar rush. It's sticky, and it's hard to stop eating it. Sorry, I don't share this one.

Funnel Cake: This is by far the most liked carnival fun food. It can have as many as 760 calories, 44 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, and 16 grams of sugar.  German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania brought this fried bread to the USA. It can have several toppings, but the most common topping is powdered sugar.

The great thing about carnival food is that you can go right from the above list, no matter your choice. Don't worry about the calories; these foods are usually at select events, fairs, and carnivals. Enjoy them for the unique foods that they are!
