Friday Foodie Flashback: Minnesota State Fair Bazaar

Post image for Friday Foodie Flashback: Minnesota State Fair Bazaar

My favorite part of the Minnesota State Fair (second to the ridiculous people watching) isn’t the cheese curds (blasphemy, I know!), isn’t the tractors, and isn’t the Leinie Lodge Bandshell.  My favorite part of the State Fair is the International Bazaar – jewelry, clothes, and food from all over the world?  LOVE.

Last year, I tried this Greek staple – the dolma – for the first time.  This particular dolma that I’m noshing on is veggies and such wrapped in a grape leaf, and I grab one just for fun now every time I hit up the salad bar at Whole Foods.

Goofy facial expression, brought to you by my own excitement because I absolutely adore and look forward annually to the Great Minnesota Get Together.

okay, I wasn't finished typing that comment but submitted it anyway, oops. I also wanted to say you're freaking adorable and that picture is super cute… even if you're stuffing grape leaves in your mouth. That is talent, my friend.

I'm addicted to dolma and my husband thinks I'm psychotic. I had an Armenian friend all through school and she got me hooked on all their food… baklava?? OH MY LORD. GIMME.

So does that mean you are coming home during the Fair? We are planing on going to see The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
