Grub off a stick

You know, I honestly don't understand why the concept of eating food off a stick isn't as popular as it should be.

Benefits:

  • You can essencially stab/stick through anything on a stick/skewer to eat it. (except maybe certain starch sources like rice where it would fall apart)
  • You can eat while walking
  • You don't have to worry about dishes!
  • You can keep one hand free while eating (no utensils)!

It's popular around festivals for food to be on a stick for this very purpose. Some popular staples include: barbecue kabobs, hot/corndogs, ice cream popsicles, hell, you can even find cheesecake on a stick nowadays.

Again, there are things that just aren't practical for preparing on a stick (all things liquid like soup, duh), but I think it'd be interesting to find something you'd normally not see it eaten in such fashion. What are some favorites you've come across? Any ideas for a new type of stick-food? What do you think about pizza on a stick? Steak?

Food on a stick is a staple at fairs from coast-to-coast here in America. Another noteworthy item to mention about the fair is all (well, most) of the food is on a stick. Pickles, steak, fried alligator, JELLO - if you can eat it, it's on a stick! Plus, every year they come up with a new item to put on a stick; a couple years ago, it was the the deep-fried candy bar. The regulars are: Roasted corn on the cob on a stick, slathered in melted butter and dusted with your choice of seasonings. Chicken on a stick. Shrimp on a stick. Deep fried egg wrapped in meat on a stick. Meatballs on a stick. Pizza on a stick. Sugar Cookie on a stick. Etc...
