You may pick up a "Tennessee Curiosites" book from any Barnes & Noble or public library to read about Carnival Food Year Round pages 53-55. Carnival Now, I've seen turkey legs at the fair and I've even tasted them, though I wasn't very impressed. But this one was different. First, it was gigantic. As London, an 8-year-old who sat down at our table, said, "That's bigger than some cow legs I've seen!" And it was also mighty tasty. The drumsticks, which are $7, are smoked off-site and then slow-heated for about two hours. What you get is a tender, succulent and filling drumstick. Carnival Food, which opened last month in a strip center by the viaduct on Covington Pike at Elmore, serves hot dogs, nachos, snow cones, funnel cakes, hamburgers (pretty dang good ones, too), brats, Polish sausage and most standard fair fare. The cotton candy, alas, is the kind pressed-down in a bucket.
