This organizers of this year's fair themed it "How sweet it is" and asked its vendors to come up with at least one rainbow-colored "unicorn-specific" dish.
One vendor took the unicorn-food challenge and created these cotton candy ice cream sandwiches:
Yes, those are Fruity Pebbles.
San Diego Union-Tribune podcasters Abby Hamblin and Luis Gomez humorously rated the taste of five of the fair's more unusual food offerings:
Deep-fried filet mignon:

Enjoy this hypnotic video of Krispy Kreme doughnuts being made
INSIDER takes you inside the doughnut making process at a Krispy Kreme location in Burbank, California. It’s enough to make you want to order a whole bouquet of doughnuts.
Now you can send bouquets of donuts instead of flowers
When you care enough to send the very best, skip the Hallmark cards and flowers and ship a bouquet of donuts to a loved one.
It's a thing. A bunch of donut bouquet shops have popped up around the globe. Here's what I could find:
-- Los Angeles: Donut Princess LA, prices start at $20 for three donuts
-- London: Donut Bouquets, prices start at £34.99 (~$48.87) for eight donuts, delivered in a "luxurious black box"
-- Australia (various cities): Dessertboxes.com.au, prices start at $78 AUD (~$61.15) for eight donuts, also in a fancy box
-- Las Vegas and Henderson: The Donut Bouquet, prices at $49.95 for a dozen, customizations available
This is not to be confused with the evil clown donut delivery service.
