The streets of Minot are abuzz with anticipation as the North Dakota State Fair approaches. A peculiar case, indeed, to see such fervor over what some might consider a trivial matter. Yet, upon closer inspection, one cannot help but be intrigued by the promise of colossal corn dogs at Straight’s Ye Old Sausage & Corn Dogs. A once-a-year opportunity, they say. The evidence suggests a correlation between the size of fair food and the enjoyment derived from its consumption.
Equally curious is the appearance of the Italian Sausage, imported directly from Chicago for a mere nine-day engagement at the Flickertail. One must ponder the logistics of such an operation. Is it a smokescreen for more nefarious activities, or simply a gastronomic delight? The inclusion of onions, kraut, and ‘fancy sauce’ adds layers to this mystery that bears further investigation. On this National Daiquiri Day, I find myself pondering whether these sausages might pair well with rum-based libations. A most unusual combination, to be sure, but one that warrants experimentation.
