My hands-down favorite festival foods? One of those grease-laden corn dogs with mustard, washed down with a funnel cake. Elephant ears aren’t too bad either. As you know, the two are essentially the same, where the dough and toppings are concerned. Maybe my favorites makes me old school.

And I guess I am. Either that, or I’m just out of the loop, or not the adventurous sort (I doubt the latter is the case, though). Nevertheless, there are a few new festival foods that really have my head spinning (and my stomach saying, “Please! Stop the madness!”).

I’m speaking of such delicacies as fried Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid pickles and Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburgers. First, let’s take a look at the fried Kool-Aid:

According to NewsOne

In the first weekend of the San Diego County Fair, (creator Charlie) Boghosian sold 400 to 600 five-ball orders per day. Boghosian has gone through 150 pounds of Kool-Aid powder and 1,500 pounds of flour to make about 9,000 deep-fried Kool-Aid balls.

Wonder if Alka-Seltzer sales went up during that time? (I’m just sayin…)

But there’s more. Check out this video:

So here’s my challenge to you people. As you’re enjoying your local festivals this summer, give one of these delights a try, take a photo (preferably with you in it) and send it to us. We’ll select a random (and very lucky) winner who’ll receive a copy of In the Kitchen with Liz and Kate! What are you waiting for?! Get your festival foods on! And pass me a corn dog and funnel cake, please!

Now onto this week’s giveaway -

The Snap Jack!

The Snap Jack is the perfect tool for cutting pancakes into bite-sized, pie-shaped morsels with ease.

After cutting, pour your syrup of choice, and allow it to drip down between the cuts of pancakes.

The Snap Jack blades are made of a safe, retractable plastic, so even your kids can now cut their own pancakes. What’s more, it’s dishwasher safe.

You may want to try this kitchen tool on French toast or even mini-pizzas as well. Just be sure to cut the pancakes one at a time while they’re hot (and buttered)!

Here’s how to enter to win the Snap Jack…
