1) Vegan Wings

Here in New York, who doesn't love a delicious chicken wing? However, with the recent surge in people switching to Vegans, how can you still enjoy this treat? According to Syracuse.com, take a trip over to Strong Hearts Cafe at the fair and sample these treats.

What it is: Soy protein shaped into 'wings' and deep-fried, then brushed with barbecue or Buffalo sauce, and served with celery and soy mayo-based ranch dressing."

Also you can sample them at their locations in Syracuse.

 

2) OOMPA LOOMPYAS

Looking for the short orange men from the Willy Wonka factory? You won't find them here. Enjoy something this year that isn't native to the United States.
