I don't mind the sauce.  It's basically a ranch with a little more WHANG.

But sure, I like hot sauces too.
Cannot find Siracha in any store right now. The chili garlic paste is also a no-show.

Yeah same here.  For some reason we had a couple large bottles put away, before the shortage began.  But we're almost out.

My buddy Bald Greg has an Asian cookbook with a recipe for homemade sriracha. I'm pretty close to attempting to make it homemade.

sriracha isn't my "go to" and I have a large bottle in the fridge

I'll be OK

I like sriracha with Asian foods.  I prefer other hot sauces with other styles.

We do it pretty often these days.  Asian foods are probably my 12yo son's favorite style at the moment, and we've taught him how to stir-fry, make Asian noodles like ramen, and a few other things.  In fact both kids are doing a lot of cooking recently.

yup, years ago, when my daughters were young, I'd use the electric Wok and do fun Asian meals

guess I'm too lazy now, or just can't do Asian as well as the Asians

Food Network asserts that the best state fair food in Iowa, is the pork chop on a stick:

well, there's nothing wrong with a good Iowa chop

not sure it's the best fair food in the state, but it's good

I've never had an Indian taco. They sell them at Mayfest in downtown Tulsa. And probably at the Fair too.

Last time I went to Mayfest--pre-Covid, pre-my friend Greg's death--there was a truck selling "Moink on a Stick."

I wondered if there was a state fair here, there is apparently.

Georgia State Fair | Atlanta Motor Speedway | Sep 30 - Oct 9, 2022

It doesn't seem to get much pub.  Or I don't pay attention.

State fairs are great. I hear the one in Minnesota is a really big deal, too.  Higher average daily attendance than the Texas State Fair and second in total attendance. Maybe @GopherRock has been and could chime in with some info about the Fair foods that are popular up there.
