Guys stop posting this, the europoors will come out and say do Americans really

>>15876187
we really do and they jelly

>>15875904
I live in Iowa and we have a massive state fair that is full of food like that. I think its gross, but people love it

>>15875931
the houston livestock fair and rodeo is a pretty big deal with pretty big bands. it isn't like the county fair out in bumfuck iowa where you are from.

The classic. The novelty might not seem so novel these days, but it amuses me.

>>15875904
Fellow houstonfag. For me it’s a smoked turkey leg and a Fosters.

>>15876206
I always ask em to fry em a little longer. The crisp is what makes it a fairgrounds for me

Jalapeno cheese corn dog dipped in mustard and a strawberry lemonade.

>>15875904
I went to school in Dallas before the Rona and man do I miss the state fair. Just all the bullshit fried things were hilarious, and sometimes delicious too

>>15875904
How the fuck do you eat that much food?

>>15876638
That’s a snack bro

>>15875904
not gonna lie...

>>15875904
That looks fucking incredible

fry blocks are good but I never know what to eat at the fair for protein. their burgers always suck, there's not as much fried chicken as you would expect

That looks fucking incredible

>>15875904

Fish balls and seafood takoyaki/hushpuppies were my favorite. Cheap white fish balls smothered in a spicy curry sauce. It's virtually fish tendies.

>>15877935

And technically it's a night market but state fairs and carnivals have the same DNA

>>15877708
I like the jumbo turkey legs

>>15876201
You act like your little Anuston fair is as big as the Texas state fair or something

>>15876201
It's a big deal but that doesn't make it not shit.

>>15875931
>the washed up bands who do the fair circuit
I love that shit too. I saw Ted Nugent in the early 00's. He was shooting flaming arrows at a cardboard cutout of osama binladen.

>>15877998
kek

>>15877998
That honestly sounds like a good time.

>>15876201
at least bumfuck iowa is white

>>15878079
It was one of the most fun experiences of my life. I never knew Ted was such a talented guitarist.

>>15875904
omadmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

>>15876187
Europoor here, looks fucking tasty

>You WILL eat the Scorpion Pizza

>>15879207
do yuropoors really?

>>15877998
The MAD DOG!

I'm STILL surprised this doesn't seem to exist anywhere:
https://youtu.be/52jSB5s33aA

>>15876206
I miss having these in my freezer to microwave
corndogs are fucking legendary and I don't even think I've ever even had one at a fair

>>15878070
You ain't gay anon. May dubs be upon you.

>>15875904
>an entire block of curly fries covered in cheese sauce
Absolutely fucking based, I hope you had ranch on the side.

>>15875904

>>15880118
hey man dont be mean...heh....hehegeg....HAHAHAHAHAHAJAHASDDFHFS

Elephant Ears

For me it's the 25 cent milk bar
>>15880331
Who tf calls that "elephant ears"? That's fried dough

>>15880331
>elephant ears
I was just about to post this. It's so good, but so bad for you.

>>15880353
In the Midwest we call them elephant ears or funnel cakes because of the way the dough looks. "Fried dough with powdered sugar" is soulless.

>>15880353
Me in the blue

>>15875904
i do not need it, yet i intensely desire it.

>>15880493
funnel cake is different
it's all squiggly because the batter is poured through a funnel

>>15880118
The writing on the mat strongly suggests China.

Daily reminder Minnesota has the best state fair in the country

>>15876201
Now I remember that the Rodeo is canceled, fuck dude

>>15881725
>Minnesota
Gay ass stupid ass state
E-dated some girl from Minnesota back in like 9th grade and the dumb bitch dumped me
Minnesota is a shitty fucking terrible state with a terrible accent and your stupid fucking state fair sucks, faggot

>>15877708
Giant tenderloins or look for that bbq truck that sells moink balls and pulled pork parfaits

>>15881705
You are aware that the chinks and japs share some of their written characters right? I get the confusion but I'd still hazard a bet its nippon.
Looks way too clean to be china.

>>15881967
Could be Taiwan

>>15875904
I love fair food but the absolute peak, for me, is the lemon shake up. Protip you can ask for it with no ice and they'll usually do it, they'll just give you the dirtiest look possible.

>>15880331
looks like a beaver tail

>>15882131
>tfw parched on a hot summer day and that first lemonade sip

>>15881705
>>15882003

Yep it is Chinese, though night market food is universal since you replace deep fried popcorn ship with spicy as shit fish cakes and beef skewers loaded with herbs

>>15875904
My favorite thing about going to the fair as a kid was the lemonade.
>>15876201
Dude, we got the Doobie Brothers (with Michael McDonald) coming this year. Don't talk shit on Iowa.

>>15881782
Cringe take

>>15876187

>>15875931
My favorite washed up band has been playing the local county fair since the 60s

lol that sounds like the lowest point you can reach

>>15882288

I guess you'd know, princess

>>15883134
You ever get a roast beef sundae?

>>15883141
I hate the name but I like the idea.

>>15875904
americans

>>15883105
Saw Weird Al at the Alameda County fair in 13 and I'm pretty sure I've seen Tower of Power there once too. Saw Joan Jett at the Marin county fair

>>15875904
there's a stand that sells this delicious smelling/looking lamb shank, that's marinated in some sort of lime/mint sauce until it falls off the bone.
But it tastes like dental floss and sprite. Turns out to be mutton.
>>15883416
I saw Weird Al at the fair too.
People were dancing, but nobody was laughing. It was like seeing a cover band. Very disappointing.

>>15882217
I prefer my fried foods to be muslim

>>15879350
Babish did an episode on it which highlights the issue with the concept. Closest you can get is those pizza cones, but that fails in a similar fashion.

Pizza by the slice is already portable, why try and fuck that up?

>>15875904
Do Amerifats really eat that?

Last time I was at a fair I just got pretty regular burger and fries. The truck I ordered from had some promotional thing going on raising money for some school related issue, and all the staff doing the cooking were local school teachers. Except they were all these fat ass Karens who didn't know what it was like to work a real physical job, and they clearly were used to making food for their families and they all thought that meant they could do actual food service, but they completely fucking biffed it. It took them like twenty five minutes for them to get me my food, and there was hardly any customers. I could just stand there watching them look lazy and confused and incompetent.

>>15883934
For breakfast.

for me, it's the bag of mini fried donuts. the best carnival food.

>>15879350
Places around here do pizza bowls but no crust which is retarded. There's also konos pizza but that shit is disgusting, pizza is already portable

>>15875931
I saw Weird Al at my local fair in 2005. It was pretty sick.

>>15881725
Confirmed, the MN state fair is amazing

>>15875904
I go to 2 Ohio county fairs. You can always get these bitchen' funnel cakes, onion flowers, steak sandwiches, and a big spear of hot Gouda, Swiss, or Mozzarella cheese deep-fried in corn dog batter.
>>15876187
We really do and fuck any prude who can't stand fair food.

I always wanted to go here.

>>15885092

>>15885092
The fried butter is over rated. Its just melted butter when you bite into it.

>>15881782
haha checkout this loser!

>>15885092
They have a restaurant in San Diego and keep the carni shacks open all year by the beach and into East County.

>>15885118
I live in San Diego. Where is this place? I'm going to go there tomorrow.

>>15885092
>>15885094
I want to fast for this.

>>15880118
i do not enjoy people who will not let others enjoy themselves.

>>15885143

Fuck this guy. Just make some god damn pizza rice. It takes 15 minutes and is actually pizza in a cup as opposed to an open face calzone from your fucking hipster restaurant.

>>15877971
having been to both the texas state fair and HLSR, they're basically equal as far as event size goes. OP is an idiot for downplaying it. "we had this fair," like HLSR isn't literally the biggest rodeo on the planet

>>15876448
Why would you double dip?

>>15876187

Well they cant beat European take on dirty rice/jambalaya or roast meat over open fires. It ain't no deep fried goodness but fair food is universal.

>>15878070
fuck.
yes.

>>15880331
Elephant Ears need cinnamon you F

>>15880331
those black braclets mean she took it in the butt

>>15889396
pitiful. not a deep fryer in sight.

>>15882144
Am*Ricans don't know what that is anons. God I miss eating beavertails

>>15876187
Do Americans really?

>>15885092
Are people in America fat?

WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WOULD ASK FOR THE CANDY APPLE. MY MOTHER SAID "NO, YOU WON'T LIKE IT" AND FORCED ME TO GET A CARAMEL APPLE INSTEAD.

>>15891332
Is everyone else missing out and are crying about it?

>>15883826
>hello and welcome to allah snackbar

>>15891359
she was right

the angola prison rodeo has pretty good food all things considered. some of those guys are actually good cooks. definitely better than just some high schoolers doing it for their church.

>spicy fried chicken on a donut with berry honey glaze, a slab of napoleon ice cream, covered in honey and fruity cereal
>a slab of butter deep fried and covered in sugar and syrup
>chocolate covered deep fried bacon
>"walking taco", any bag of chips with cheap taco ingredients poured in you eat with a spork
>chocolate milk straight from the brown cows teet
I miss the VA state faire, havnt been in over a decade.

>>15885094
oh so he ice creme chicken is still a thing. shits great when its hot and your drunk.

>that one time you snuck a corndog into the gravitron and almost died

>>15875904
>a stick of butter, breaded, deep-fried, and dusted with confectioners' sugar
what the fuck is wrong with America?

You can buy this shit at Walmart 365 days per year and it’s garbage there too.

>>15892569
i hear it tastes like french toast

>>15876187
They'll assume we eat like this all the time when this is Fair food. Intentionally ridiculous. It's like assuming Australians eat Fairy Bread for breakfast.

>>15885170

Different anon

I'll definitely will go there, I live 2 hours away

>>15880118
>NOOOOOOOOOO you can't enjoy things by yourself!
>you have to drag some old washed up roastie that leeches your money around with you or else you're a loser hollyjew told me so!

For me, it's the deep fried coke

>>15880118
jesus, you're an ass

>>15891332
The #1 country with obesity problems. Amerifats cry "obsessed!" but in reality what they mean is they are obsessed with eating lol.

>>15894669

R E N T F R E E

>>15893645
is your pic related when you cope?

>>15894684
>t. amerifat

>>15894693


Yet our greasy asses still live rentfree in your head

Sad!

>>15891662
Fuck yeah angola rodea. I remember they made some pretty good hot sauce

>>15892698
basically yeah. The dough is spiced and sweet and you don't really eat a lot of butter since it basically all melts out

>>15875904
My town has an annual fair and I've always loved Elephant Ears. The fair is called "Hastings' summerfest"

>>15881782
I hope your not an only child lol.

>>15891639
cringe.

>>15875904
Nice kugel.

>>15894598
They're not wrong though.
