At the fair, let your nose be your guide

The questions are inevitable this time of year.“What’s the new fair food?” I’m often asked in the days leading up to the S.C. State Fair.“Something fried,” I typically respond.

It’s a question, I’m convinced, that’s driven more by anticipation than curiosity. Ever faithful to their corn dogs, fried dough and Polish sausage dogs, fair patrons are always eager to treat their taste buds to something new when the fair rolls in each year.Their options will be plentiful beginning today.When the 141st anniversary fair opens its gates at 3 p.m. in Columbia, visitors will find one of the largest offerings of new food items in recent memory.
