Where to Find It: Tom Thumb Donuts (Southwest corner of Carnes Ave. & Underwood St. OR West side of Cooper St. between Wright & Dan Patch avenues, south of the Kidway)

There’s a ton of ice cream vendors with their sights set on challenging the most popular dairy building, but for our money, the best and most interesting offering is Nitro Ice Cream. In the case of FLEECE –KIT, I’d argue the difference is more qualitative than quantitative – in one study the /ɪ/ vowel in lid was shown to be 2.4 centiseconds longer than the /iː/ vowel in meat.) And about eating so much of it that you wonder how you’ll ever squeeze onto the park-and-ride bus on your way home.) Both vowels can be diphthongs (i.e. there is a glide from one vowel quality towards another). This is most noticeable in words that end in these vowels (e.g. tea, who). Before voiceless consonants, there is less time for a diphthongal glide and so you are more likely to hear monophthongs (e.g. teach, hoop), but you will still hear diphthongal pronunciations by some people. Most dictionaries represent these vowels with one symbol, suggesting both are only monophthongs. Loans available to permanent UK residents aged 18 and over. Subject to status.

Nobody wants to discover that they are sharing their home with rodents, but it's a surprisingly common occurrence, and you may need an effective mouse trap or two to catch or deter them. "Mice are constantly searching for their next meal and a safe place to live," Meg Pearson, training manager at Critter Control, says. This means your home (with its warmth, food, and shelter) is a desirable place for pests—especially in winter when temperatures outside drop.

Despite being nocturnal and therefore making them hard to spot during the day, mice tend to leave little clues for us, such as droppings, marks on walls or gnaw marks - and of course, holes in walls, cupboards and boxes. If you've seen any of these, it's likely you have a mouse or two. Northbound smokehouse has a loyal following who passionately swear by their lightly smoked cheddar cheese curds. That smoke makes for a unique take on a classic – a subtle change that’s somehow true to its roots but fantastic nonetheless. Consumer credit service provided by Klarna.

At the time, I knew enough to know that this was definitely a “must try” while in town, but I still didn’t know where to get them.

This project uses PVA glue and paper to smooth over a cardboard base, hopefull making it look metallic and a bit more substantial than just cardboard. And that’s the secret, I think. Within seconds, Mouse Traps cheese curds wiz from the fryer to your lips. The result is always piping-hot cheese that’s so delicious, most Minnesotans spend the rest of the year chasing the craving.

Every year, we think there’s no way the Dairy Building’s ice cream can be as good as we remember. And every year, we’re blown away yet again. I couldn’t believe how many of our friends didn’t know about the Minnesota Apples inside the Agriculture Horticulture building. Forget everything you thought you knew about turkey sandwiches. Turkey To Go has the most tender, deliciously simple turkey you’ve ever experienced. This spot next to the Grandstand is a little overlooked, but we love to finish every visit at the state fair with a bowl of their sliced apples covered in caramel sauce. This is now the only important measurement. The two jaw pieces should be sat one on top of the other, held against the face and you should mark on the peices where the strip cross over your ears (see photo). The gap between the two strips should sit just over your mouth (if you try you should be able to kiss it) and your finger should be right in the middle of your ear.

Our 15 Classic “Must Eat” Foods at the Minnesota State Fair

For example, the words fl eece, b eat, s eat, and sh eep all contain the same vowel /iː/, so they belong to the same lexical set. We can give this lexical set a name (or a keyword) to make it easier to refer to in conversation. This particular lexical set is called FLEECE. It’s the perfect dessert to close out the end of the fair, which for us, represents the symbolic end of summer and unofficial beginning of fall. Another lexical set is called KIT. All of the words in the KIT set have the /ɪ/ vowel (examples include k it, b it, s it, and sh ip). No surprises here. Celebrity chef and James Beard nominee Yia Vang has been blowing people away at UHK’s Minneapolis location for years, and we raved all about the guy in our glowing review of Vinai, his newest restaurant concept.

Other “short –long” pairs have a clear qualitative difference – that’s why we should continue using different symbols: /uː/ –/ʊ/, /iː/ –/ɪ/. Fun story: When Sean first moved to Minnesota so many years ago, one bite of the mini donuts were all it took for him to become a Minnesota State Fair lover for life. Most of our crew was split on whether it was preferable to the legendary Pronto, which is enough to elevate it to “must eat” among the many best fair foods. Give it a try and decide for yourself! Much like our silly friends and their attitudes towards apples, for decades we skipped on the long lines at the Turkey To Go stand thinking it’s probably just a dry sandwich loosely inspired by Thanksgiving.And that’s exactly what he did. Halfway through day one, his food was boasting one of the longest lines at the fair! We have no idea how they make their ice cream so perfectly creamy. Our current theory is that those diary farmers somehow channel the magic of their dearest cows, mixed with some sort of special energy emanating the nearby butter sculptures. Other reasons for choosing a humane mouse trap include the possibility of a mouse getting injured by a trap, then disappearing behind your walls or under your floorboards, and dying in an inaccessible area - meaning that decomposing mouse body is going to smell.
