Yep, there was a little bit of everything at the show; cute little piglets...
...and candy floss, local produce, rides, wine...and...wait for it...DAGWOOD DOGS!!! Yes, that's right... Question: Name Mr Considine's all-time favourite Show-food. Honk-honk! Answer: What is Dagwood Dogs!
The giant Ferris wheel has started spinning, the showdogs are primped and preened, and the kids can finally exhale now that the gates of the Showgrounds have cracked open and there is another year of show bags for everyone. Some may be lured in by the rides, others by the show comps, but most will drop by the food stalls for a little fried sustenance. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s something strangely addictive about carnival food. Think giant wisps of sickly sweet fairy floss, the famous strawberry sundaes and, of course, those controversial deep-fried Dagwood Dogs.
