While the fair is in full swing,it happens again,only this time the entire state gets blown into orbit. Salvatore Bovoso and John Farago{two men about which I know nothing---professional avant-garde cooks,perhaps?}contribute several pages of recipes for dishes whose ingredients are largely made up of pre-packaged,processed food---"junk food"?---,all of which read like they may actually yield tasty dishes. This sounded a little easier to prepare than the other dessert recipe listed,Milky Way Mousse.
