Festival treats at Towne Days
The food trucks at Fort Herriman Towne Days bring shaved ice, thick milkshakes, gourmet cotton candy and tiny beads of frozen ice cream to the festival grounds.

A bowl of green gelatin
In 2001 the state Senate passed a resolution naming gelatin a favorite snack food of Utah, and a bright bowl of it, often with fruit set inside, still turns up at family dinners and potlucks.
