Vegan at the fair
Yes, it’s actually possible to get something vegan and relatively healthy at the Dixie Classic Fair! (Besides the spiral-cut apples near Yesterday Village, that is.)
I was thrilled to find out that there is a new booth this year, Island Noodles, which serves soba noodles (no egg) stir-fried with 21 different kinds of vegetables. It’s $6, and they dish it up in a large paper cup, which makes it possible to eat as you’re walking. They offer the choice of a fork or chopsticks, as well as hot sauce and soy sauce to add if you wish (IMO, they needed neither). Vegetables I identified: carrots, sugar snap peas, snow peas, edamame, cabbage, celery, red pepper, baby corn, onion, bok choy and spinach. Not only was it very filling, it tasted great—I would be happy to have it at a sit-down restaurant, let alone the fair.
The small booth is at the intersection of two rows of food nearest Yesterday Village, across from the decidedly nonvegan Mr. K’s Chuckwagon and the story tent. If you’re at the fair, I heartily encourage you to get some of the noodles, to support a vegan option at the fair!
