i like eating anything since it all tastes good when im having fun with my gf at the fair

LA county fair. I always get a blooming onion and a chocolate milk from the dairy area. If I go more than once in a season, I try to get a turkey leg and/or a funnel cake

>go outside
>eat fast food
>go to cafeteria

>go at a county fair
>eat fast food

Is this the power of the American cuisine?

>>12858753
>no mini-donuts or bucket of chocolate chip cookies

Rank amateur.

>>12858767
Sister, brother in law and nephew got the mini donuts. When we reached Sweet Martha's I was too full for cookies. I didn't goto the fair last year and they changed the grilled pork belly. It used to be small chunks wrapped in bacon with little balls of deep fried mashed potatoes. Now it's three chunks of pork belly (maybe 3oz each?) with a large helping of fries. That's what did me in. And I hadn't planed on going by the kabob place at all.

>>12858753
Minnesota takes something available at literally every bar across the border in Wisconsin and considers it some sort of exotic fair food?

>>12858826
Who told you they were selling it as "exotic"

>>12858831
I just mean I wouldn't consider that "fair food" so much as "bar food", fair food is weird ass shit

>>12858753
Please explain state and county fairs to a Euro. We have fairs here where they sell food and there's games and amusement rides etc. We don't have statewide fairs afaik

>>12858753
I haven't been to the Minnesota State Fair in a while. Do they still have a booth for Deli Express? That always blew my mind. Well, we have 300 food vendors but I think I'll go with the gas station sandwich.

>>12858845
same shit but bigger. Also they will have mid level washed up bands play music

Buy me a tub of chocolate chip cookies.

>>12858850
also a large section of farm animals being given awards

>>12858850
In American films they always seem such a big occasion, I would love to visit the US one day, but small towns and meeting true Americana locals.

>>12858857
We have this in ireland
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck_Fair

>>12858864
they are usually pretty busy, I live in Wisconsin and I think our fair gets over 1,000,000 attendees each year over like 10 days. I haven't gone in years myself, but I know a lot of people that go maybe once a year mostly out of the curiosity. I think people that live in more rural areas consider it a bigger deal and travel for it a bit, a lot of livestock and farm displays there

FUNNEL CAKE

Shameful MN native here, bout to head there myself for the first time sober this year, what should I get?

>>12858864
It's a bigger deal for rural populations. They have animal competitions and auctions. If you win a prize you can sell things like bull semen for more money. The animal thing is how they got started in the first place

City slickers will go but they have an air of novelty about the whole thing

>>12858864
>>12858892
for instance the supreme champion was at a fair

>>12858873
>>12858892
Ah I see, so its really about the animals and everything else just grew around it. I suppose they have that sort of thing most places but the American versions seem nostalgic to me because of movies and tv shows and my love for small town USA

>>12858909
yeah, I assume it began with livestock, but its maybe a quarter that plus carnival rides and fried foods and other food novelties. For some reason at the Wisconsin fair we are obsessed with "Cream Puffs"

There are plenty of beer stands too and at night live music, very often some washed up band that was big in the 80s or something. Also a lot have demolition derbies (at least at smaller county fairs, I assume the state fair does too) where people take shitty old cars and drive them into each other repeatedly until only one is still able to drive

Also, the winner of the Minnesota Dairy Princess Program gets a bust of herself sculpted in butter.

>>12858891
Best value? Go to the Swine and Spud inside the coliseum. Great value.

>>12858906
Those aren't rubber duckies!

>>12858864
We like playing with our rubber duckies and wearing wabbit slippers.

>>12859064
What would you suggest to get from there?

>>12858928
Literal butter face

>>12858833
Fair food is deep fried shit. Both weird and common. Fuck off wiscofaggot

>>12859144
calm down dude

>>12859131
The pork belly on a stick.

>>12859132
Fuckin' lol!

>>12859150
Smd

The Puyallup fair is what it was called when I was a kid and my go to was lame ass funnel cake and motherfucking scones. Now shit is way too expensive and I went as a kid so it seems retarded to ever go to the fair now. If I ever have kids I would take them though.

>>12858753
>bacon
Dilate, you tranny soyboy.

Turkey leg, corn dogs, funnel cake and lemonade. I'm just a simple farmer

>>12859176
Oh shit negro you weren't lying, that was delicious and well worth five and a half bucks

>>12858926
My ex gf was from Waupaca and she always made puffs

Wisconsin State Fair is so dissapointing
we don't have anything we're known for.
sure there's cream puff but they're meh and vastly overpriced even for festival prices

>>12859605
Wisconsin is a beautiful state full of ugly people

>>12858909
Depends on which fair you're at. in rural areas is basically mostly about the animals, but at bigger, more urban fairs, like the Minnesota state fair, it's all about the food and rides. There's a few other things like shows and displays from the local univerities/politicians/people trying to sell you stuff, but the main thing is the food, rides and games.

>>12859624
I'm going tomorrow. My food plan is two pronto pups, a bratwurst, and deep fried olives while drinking that summit oktoberfest all day

>>12859645
That image is too small

>>12859615
>full of ugly people
can't argue with you there

>>12858753
The only fair I've ever been to was in lanquin Guatemala and I enjoyed the elote and guaro rotgut alcohol served in plastic bags with a straw. The towns people were very friendly, I saw a young Mayan girl keeping flies away from her passed out grandfather on the side of the road.

>>12859615
yeah, white people are ugly as shit

>>12859645
>>12859624
>>12859658

We spell kabob with an O though and apple with the L before the E. I'll tell you what you can correct our spelling when your flag is waving in the moon otherwise fuck off and enjoy the freedom from that time we saved you from having to speak German or Russian

>>12859894
That's the best part. Literally no one remembers that game. Yet his most highlighted year was in purple and gold

>>12859658
It was hilarious how butt hurt people got over that. They fined Randy $10,000 for that display.

It's about all types of agriculture and food production. They have an entire area dedicated to beehives where they give out the awards for the best honey. There are also awards for biggest pumpkins and best Christmas tree. They have pie and cake baking competitions as well.

>>12858864
small towns have fairs too. the small town I used to live in did tractor pulls, car derbies, horse shows, and bands at the bigger fair. they were multi day fairs and would do a different thing each day/evening. one of my cars got used in a derby one year

check out the photos on google for "lincoln country fair"

I usually get somehwat regular food because I don't want to spend$15 on some meme food and then not like it. I took a chance this year and ate a deep-fried hamburger with a slice of pineapple and peanut butter on it. It was pretty good.

>>12866015
>not eating 20 deep fried pickles then shitting your brains out the next day

>>12866039
Deep fried pickles are fairly regular food imo compared to other carnival foods

>>12866063
carnival food isnt even that bad. deep fried oreos are the worst i've ever seen and even then they werent that bad.

>>12858759

Damn straight anon!

For me, its the mac and cheese pork sundae

For me its the pork mac sundae. I like when its piping hot so the plastic gets bendy

Reminds me of moms caseroles, usually I'll sneak by to the fry bucket stand and spray it down with soem malt vinegar

Last OP bump, since The Great Minnesota Get Together ends tonight. How to describe this thread...../comfy/.

Do americans really do this?

>>12867769
Yes we do, in record numbers.

>>12858753
the duck drummies were fucking epic and the best food at the fair this year

>>12866220
This sounds like some fucking fine living right there lad!

I went to a fair in Connecticut yesterday and all the food cost a lot. It was cheaper for me to go down the road and spend $13 on a coffee and fresh veg quesadilla at a hipster cafe than it was to buy something to eat at the fair. I’m envious of the $3-6 prices I can see in the photos here for food and the stuff looks more creative

Listen up you fat retarded animals:
Women believe anything they hear.

They are instinctually programmed to assign truth to anything anyone says in their trusted social sphere with no thought or judgement at all.

Because they had to watch over others constantly since the beginning of humanity, they became selfless. Because they were so close to all the needs and wants of their people, they developed the instinct to trust them absolutely and a true understanding of their people was taken for granted.
Their bodies and minds became dedicated to nourishing their communities. They would listen to the men speaking of what they've done in the wide world and translate the substance to emotional terms that can be understood by other women, and so used to guide the behavior of the children.
When they were relieved of many responsibilities to their people by the 'modernization' of society the trait of selflessness became hollow and so turned to nothing but self-unawareness, leaving the instinct to implicitly trust their social sphere intact to be turned to purposes other than what made it to begin with.

With the addition of 'the media' to modern society, with all of its inherent falsehoods, women are turned completely against their own nature.
Their nurturing instincts are used to nurture the interests of the upper classes as handed down from the media rather than those of the people they see and interact with every day, even their own children.
Instead of being warm with compassion they are cold with judgement calculated from the information they are brainwashed with; willing to go to any length to make their friends and families conform to the dictates of the elite.

So it is that women are the primary tool of the elite to control us all, because men will do anything for their women.
So it is that love is turned against us and the very foundation of our existence is betrayed.

Don't you swallow a lot of air eating those things?

What the fuck is wrong with Americans?

>>12873581
The people in that picture are way less obese than I expected. I mean seriously, I would've thought if you took a random picture of people at a state fair there would be a much higher percent of obese people.

>>12873604
2 things. First of all most people only spend one day at the fair, making it kinda like Christmas and Thanksgiving when it comes to eating. Second, you wind up doing a LOT of walking at the fair so you do burn off a bunch of the calories while there.

>>12858753
Gotta go with my boys funnel cake, deep fried oreos, and blooming onions

I live literally right across from the MN fair on larpenteur so I just stroll on in whenever. I beat my previous record at the infinite milk stand up to 19 glasses. It was great and terrible.

>>12874807
I remember when it was only a quarter for the milk bar. Good times

>>12874807
>19 glasses of moloko in one sitting

>>12858759
wholesome post
sorry the incels hate you

>>12874579
Yeah, but there's only like one significantly obese person in that picture. That's got to be less than the average percentage in most states.

The real way to eat fair food is to vet things that you dont normally get at restaurants. Turkey leg is common and a pretty healthy option as it's pretty lean protein. The deep fried shit is fun but don't overdo it. I saw a cotton candy burrito the other day that looked fun.

My point is, if you go to a fair and get a slice of pizza or a hambuerger you are doing it absolutely wrong.

>>12858753
I'm working at my local-ish fair as a fry cook/drink guy. AMA. leaving to work in about a half hour.

>>12858906
what a pretty duck

>>12875872
Got any coke?

>>12876073
plenty.

funnel cakes

candy apples

dad would get a stand at local fairs and sell cajun burgers..
>burger with cheddar cheese, jalapenos and cajun seasoning..

On a good weekend we would to 3000 burgers. served with a bag chips. 6$ with a can soda from the cow tank improvised cooler.

>>12875798
Can't answer for other states, but in Minnesota the state fair isn't heavy (pun intended) on obese people. They can't handle all the walking involved. But man, on a warm afternoon, you walk around for a few hours what ever type of gal you are interested, you'll see a dozen of them. Usually showing a bit of skin do to the heat.

>>12858753
MN native, not going this year. I've been so many times already since I was a kid, even working there for a few years. I only need to go every few years now.

I personally recommend the chocolate covered bacon strips, and the Belgium waffle on a stick

>>12859132
Fucking lel

>>12877605
*didn't go this year
forgot labor day was three days ago, damn summer went by quick

>>12858753
Deep fried taco (chicken) is a must for me, though i always try to get some other fair type food, this year I had a grilled cheese with bacon where the bun was a krispy cream glazed donut cut in half, shit was pretty good.
