Fall Carnival Foods and Drink
Submitted by Anh Ho
It’s fall time, you want to do something fun and festive so you decide to go to the orchards for some quality time and CARNIVAL FOOD!
Here are some top five recommendations for the best fall foods and drinks (not in any particular order).
1. Fresh Baked Apple Cider Donuts
A cakey, flavorful apple cider-infused pastry with hints of cinnamon and lots of sugar can be eaten at any time of day. This delicious treat will leave your stomach feeling so satisfied and happy.
2. Homemade Caramel Apples/ Candy Apples
If a classic fall carnival dessert was put into one phrase, it would be a caramel apple/candy apple. Biting into the hard exterior to have a juice-filled interior is what sets this apart from any other snack. In addition to its ability to re-energize, there are so many adorable, instagramable pictures to be taken with the classic caramel/candy apple.
3. Blooming Onions
There’s nothing like a giant blooming onion during the fall. A double-coated deep-fried golden onion will put you in the best food coma you’ve ever had. Eating them with your friends will have you laughing and wanting more.
4. Butterfly Chips with Cheese
A pure genius way to make crispy fresh goodness of the classic potato. The great innovators of fair foods took a drill and placed it against a sharp blade to get the beautiful butterfly shape of the snack.
5. Homemade Apple Cider
This drink is a staple for apple picking and orchards as their specialty is fresh apples. Getting the adorable quart-sized container makes you feel like a giant. The many spices incorporated will leave you satisfied. Not to mention, it is extremely refreshing and full of flavor.
So, now what? Go to the orchards this fall and try some of these yummy recommendations and explore the foods of the fair. Take pictures and make fun videos of picking pumpkins and apples while you enjoy these classic fair, fall foods.
