Combo Plate? Is that what you're asking, Bunky? Well, a Combo Plate is one Snickers bar, two Oreos, and one Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, all deep-fried. You can get one at Jerry Orme's stand, which also features deep-fried Ho-Hos, Milky Ways, and Pepsi Balls (served with cinnamon sugar, drizzle Pepsi syrup, and whipped cream).
“This was an issue we wanted to tackle,” said Cindy Hoye, executive director of the fair, which spent the winter months testing various oils and, despite the fears of some concessionaires about possible changes to taste or costs or tradition, concluded that trans-fat-free oils created what Ms. Hoye called a better product.
National fair officials say Indiana and at least one other fair, the Western Washington, have led the way on a health issue that is only now creating a buzz in the fair industry. During a national convention of fair officials in Las Vegas this November, Indiana representatives are to offer a workshop, “Going Trans-Fat Free,” which, the convention program promises, will answer the question “What is all the craze about?”
(Yes, Deep-Fried Oreos, but Not in Trans Fats - NYTimes)
"Craze," we're just pointing out here, also starts with "c."
