Emmy Eats: MINNESOTA STATE FAIR - fried cheese curds, BUCKET of hot cookies, Pronto Pup, a foot-long

The #Minnesota #State #Fair is the largest in the nation, hosting over 2 million people in a 12-day stretch, and serves tons of fair fare. I'm tasting the classics including a Pronto Pup, freshly fried fries, deep fried cheese curds, roasted corn on the cob, a bucket of hot chocolate chip cookies, and a foot-long hot dog. Burp

Ya I’ve never had a cheese curds but isn’t it just like a mozzarella sticks?

[@frankielamictal]

@@victoriacusato4187 not really theyre cheddar cheese and they're normally beer battered so they have a really flaky and greasy exterior

[@anneliesehanson5256]

@@victoriacusato4187 no, not the same at all. Cheese curds are baby cheese; cheese that hasn't matured and aged yet. Mozzarella is a mature cheese, just not a very old one. Cheese curds are very sweet, and have high water content, so they "squeak" against your teeth. It's a similar flavor to Farmers cheese or Oaxaca cheese, but a bouncier texture. Unlike mozzarella sticks, they are not battered really, just plunked into a deep fryer. It's a special type of treat that I think is really only available in regions with a lot of dairy farming. Since cheese curds are basically fresh cheese, they spoil very quickly and don't travel well. So unless you're in like, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, or northern California, I'm not sure if your would have access to them. But if you ever see them, please try them! Fresh cheese curds are incredibly tasty, they don't even need to be deep fried. 🥰

when the fair was in my state I ate 2 turkey legs, 2 ear of corn, 6 pronto pups, 2 funnel cake, bbq brisket, glazed almonds, caramel corn bag, half a dozen root beer, cotton candy, fried fish order, 2 large cheese fries, and I think that's it. I ate it all in one day, I felt sick for like 3 days and had diarrhea but it was worth it. Only problem was that I was already 420 pounds when I went there and now a month later I am at 436. Losing weight is hard when it tastes so good. My wife cooks healthy meals at home but I can't stop sneaking double quarter pounders, baconators, pizza, etc after work on the way hom. Just today my wife did baked salmon on rice with broccoli and that sounded nasty to me so I ended up ordering 2 baconator fries and a daves triple classic with cheese before home. My wife kissed me and I forgot to wipe my lip and she tasted cheese sauce and I got in trouble. I also like to stash food in hidden areas, I have 3 large bags of halloween chocolate candy in the closet behind our winter clothing and like to sneak some candy sometimes because I feel like she is trying to starve me to death. Sorry, I had to vent.

Some of my favs you didn't try: Corn dogs, are waaay better than pronto pups, Honey ice cream in the horticulture bldg (plus you get to see all the cool bee stuff), Strawberry shakes in the Food bldg, The all you can drink Milk Truck, not far from the DNR pond, Lots of good stuff in Giggles like walleye cakes, the walleye sandwich, and a cheap but great kids meal, Australian battered fries; Honestly, could go on forever. Free things to do/see: The Big Sing Along, Free concerts at the bandshell and on stages all over the fair, Lumberjack contests (near Giggles), Dog exhibits & agility shows, People watching 👀, Walk through the animal barns, Fireworks every night after the Grandstand concert ends. Have fun!

I'm Minnesotan but I have lived in South Korea for the past 6 years. I recently went back to visit MN with my husband and baby in summer just because of the state fair. My husband didn't believe me that we had some of these things haha Now he wants to go back again. Love your videos!

[@Heather-Luper]

I visited family in Minnesota last week and they forced me to go to the fair. And I LOVED it!!! The newborn animals had my heart.

[@katieamarsh]

The strawberry rhubarb malt from the dairy building is my favorite thing at the fair. Cheese curds definitely don’t need to be dipped in anything. They’re bliss. I think the fries are so good they are better alone too.

[@andrewthezeppo]

Haven't been in years but there was a place that sold them with langinberry dipping sauce and those were my fave

[@delilah4784]

I’m currently struggling with an ED and watching this made me really miss the times when I was carefree and was able to eat what made me happy. I love this video and in a ways I’m living through her.

[@delilah4784]

I miss cheese curds and cookies so much omg

[@AnnexCrazy]

I went to a county fair last year and they had churro funnel cake. Amazing. It’s not like those churro-flavored ones where they just make normal funnel cake and dust it in cinnamon and sugar, it was actually the churro dough (and shape) but in a fried squiggly heap the way funnel cakes are. It was absolutely delicious. The churro funnel cake itself was dusted in cinnamon and sugar (of course) and then it was topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, strawberry drizzle, and strawberries. It was a really good combination. The churros were made kind of thin too so it wasn’t a struggle to eat or anything. It was perfect

[@NerdyAcres]

Love your vids and how you describe food. Would be awesome if you did a series featuring different veggies. I'm a farmer and it would be awesome to have input from a reliable source on what various types of tomatoes, cucumbers, kales, etc... taste like and the such. Anyway just a thought. Keep up the great work!

The food at the MN state fair is honestly the best. I’ve been to quite a few different “state fairs” but there’s no place like home. 💜 those were some of the best foods you could have picked as well. All on my top favorites.

Aaah my childhood! Every year we went to the State Fair for 4H for 4 days. So many fond memories. I haven’t been for years but I’m just itching to go back. A few comments: If you go to the dairy barns, they give away glasses of milk for free or nearly free (not sure if they still do) and that was always the immediate stop after Sweet Martha’s. The alligator is another must try. As well as the nitro ice cream (nearby the cheese curd stand) and going through the list and checking out all the new foods of the year. I hope you stopped over to the building with the butter heads! The beer stands from what I hear are absolutely phenomenal, all the new/weird flavors And the most of all top thing to do at the State Fair is collect free stuff! The most prized of all is St. Thomas College bags

[@TheNZJester]

Here in New Zealand, we tend to have what we call a hotdog on a stick that is similar to the corndog but with a more dense and crispy wheat flour batter on a saveloy sausage. We also prefer tomato sauce over catchup on it. Tomato sauce has similar herbs and spices added to it that you will also find in catchup, with the only difference being it contains no vinegar so as a result is sweeter.

Emmy... thank you so much for making this video. I am a Minnesotan who currently lives in Canada and has for a few years. There is nothing here even remotely comparable to the Minnesota State Fair. I have missed it so much, and I have so many memories there. It feels nostalgic, but it also makes me miss home so much. It is so nice to see my home, and my Fair like this. Thank you for your reviews of everything. It explains to my Canadian husband what I am missing so dearly.

[@juliajackson1592]

Thank you so much for doing this Emmy! I could not make the fair this year so it was a pleasure to see the fair through your eyes! I LOVE cheese curds and Sweet Martha's! We can buy Sweet Martha's now in some groceries so we can have the flavor of the fair all year long!

Oh man. Thanks Emmy for all of the effort that went into this video. I grew up going to the Minnesota State Fair every year.
