“Mama Jane” Harris is a favorite on TV shows like Carnival Eats. There’s always a line for her fair food creations for the Florida State Fair and Florida Strawberry Festival. Today she let me in on her two new creations for Tampa and Plant City next year.

The Florida State Fair

Head to the Florida State Fairgrounds between February 8 and February 19 to try Mama’s newest savory funnel cake: The Temperamental Hog Funnel Cake. Mama wanted to get crazy and do a savory creation that would be all-new. It’s a funnel cake with cornmeal that gives it a bit of a crunch, barbecue spices and there’s pulled pork on time. Then you pick your temperament: happy, angry, or FURIOUS! There’s a thinned down cream cheese glaze to cool the cake down. It’s not sweet – it’s a straight cream cheese flavor.

The Florida Strawberry Festival

Love Almond Joy candy bars?  Mama has nailed the flavor with her new Almond Joy Funnel Cake.  It’s got the chocolate, almonds and coconut flavor you love in the candy bar.  Mama said she’s a big fan of the candy bar – it’s one of her favorites, so this one was all her idea.  It’s a traditional flavor with the coconut and almond topping and drizzled chocolate.

If neither of those spark your curiosity, Mama Jane will also have her usual elephant ears and other funnel cakes too, like strawberry cheesecake, red velvet or the turtle with the chocolate and caramel. You can find Mama’s truck near the main stage.
