‘Call It Breakfast’ - a vanilla malt or sundae topped with chunks of bakery-fresh donuts, drizzled with chocolate and latte-flavored syrups, and finished with sprinkles - joins the traditional ice cream flavors at the Dairy Goodness Bar at the Minnesota State Fair this year.
The flavor, picked through a public poll, outdistanced That’s My Jam!, made with oyster crackers and sweet pepper jam, and Scotch Hopper Crunch, featuring chocolate sauce, butterscotch chips and shoestring potatoes, to earn its spot on the menu. The new item appears among seven new frozen treats being introduced at the fair in August.
Wake me up. ‘Call It Breakfast’ will be served only at this year’s State Fair.
Jodi Jetson, Midwest Dairy’s Minnesota State Fair project manager, said the new flavor will be served along with other ice cream flavor favorites such as chocolate, vanilla, apple-caramel and rhubarb-strawberry at the Dairy Goodness Bar located in the Dairy Building.
Thirty-two new foods will be offered at the 2016 Great Minnesota Get-Together. In total, the State Fair offers nearly 500 foods at 300 different concession locations throughout the fairgrounds.
Some of those new treats include:
1. Candied Bacon Donut Sliders: Sliced glazed donut holes with thick candied bacon and a chocolate red wine ganache.
2. SPAM Sushi: Grilled SPAM, sushi rice, fried egg and wasabi rolled in nori (dried seaweed).
