Last year we were sad to hear that there were fewer foods on sticks at State Fair (a particularly stick-crazy vendor didn't return), but, hey, you're still unlikely to try everything that's on offer with a little wooden post through it. And the good news? This year, there's one more, for a total of 32!

Among the oddest, we think, are the cheesecake wedges at Sidewalk Sundaes and the deep fried Oreo cookie at M&W Concessions.

Next year, let's get that number back up into the 40s and here are a couple suggestions: potato pancakes on a stick, cream puff on a stick and hamburger on a stick. And let's not forget khlav kalash.

In the meantime, here's a list of the 32 foods you can eat at the Fair this year.
