/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Nothing its literally not worth it. Its a scam.

>>16509446
It's overpriced garbage, but I wouldn't call it a scam. No one is buying food there under the impression it's anything else.

By default I'll get a long corndog and a lemon shakeup, but might go for something oddball if it stands out.

>>16509431
That one trailer trash chick that's legitimately hot. There's one at every one of these things, and generally their self esteem is in the basement.

>>16509431
The Wisconsin and Indiana state fair open up this week. I was thinking of taking a drive out with some coworkers.

OP, should I?

>>16509495
The only real investment is the time, gas, and for ones at the state level there is possibly an entrance fee.

If it's anything like the Illinois state fair, it's good for some junk food, mildly interesting exhibits, and mediocre rides. I'd say it's an interesting way to spend an evening on that alone.

Still walking btw. Nice day.

Wound up getting a "pronto pup" with a lemonade shakeup. Battered on the spot, so pretty good for a corndog. Not worth $6 of course lol.
Will probably grab a pork patty for supper tonight.

Tagliata di manzo condita col tartufo

>>16509431
Hot white chicks in tank tops, cowboy hats and boots. Whats not to like?

>>16509489
This, my first girlfriend was working at a corndog stand at a rodeo. I was 15 and she was 14, she knew a lot more than me. It didnt last very long, but she helped a little sperg like me start to come of age. Last I heard she got kicked out of high school of screwing a security guard.

>>16509657
fresh lemonade-shakeups are a real precious sense-memory for me. there's a level on which they're a pretty lame experience, really. But there's magic in there. I look forward to the next time I see them for sale in my vicinity. Looks great, God bless, enjoy your day out.

>>16509751
For me it was a girl name Jamie. She legit lived in a trailer park, but went to a very affluent albeit public high school outside of Chicago. Her inferiority complex coupled with the shame at where she lived made her available pretty much whenever.

>>16509781
I must be the only one who went to school with girls who were all smarter, richer and more experienced than me

>>16509431
Candied apples, the epitome of a fair (or so my childhood memories tells me)

>>16509799
OP here, can't actually say I've ever seen them at fairs around here.
Funnel cakes would be the epitome of fair sweets.

>>16509821
Funnel cakes are the most delicious dessert known to man. Not because of any special ingredients, or because they taste the best, but because you only get to have them once, maybe twice yearly depending on where you live

>>16509489
I got my first blowjob at 15 from a girl who was in my sister's 4H club one night at the county fair, behind the horse stalls.

First time I fingerbanged a chick too.

Memories.

>>16509751

>>16509833
Fuck off you bastards sex doesn't exist, stop trying to deceive me!

>>16509831
Really that's a good deal of fair food appeal, along with nostalgia. Also explains all the various messy and novel foods that just wouldn't sell as well if sold consistently.

im going to try and go to a fair and get a gf
thanks guys

>>16509431
Food poisoning

>>16509431
I'm an old fag and I still like to stand for long periods with this look on my face while watching the mini donut machine and salt water taffy machine do their magic.

>>16509751
you have to be 18 to post here kiddo

>>16509930
beyond based
>>16509908
this post is correct but also - just find a good ol fry stand

>>16510078
I'm in my hecken forties frienderino, I just fucked typing the end of my story up. Please don't down doot me.

>>16509431
deepfried twinkie, deepfried cheese on a stick

>>16509930
Good memories, did the same with the kettle corn machine today.
>>16510120
Was looking for that actually, there is usually two or vendors dedicated to it, but nothing that was up at the time was selling that. There will probably be a few more tomorrow evening.

>>16509431

>>16510392
pretty fly for a fry guy

>>16510412

>>16510427
Hadn't noticed before but it looks like he's serving at a rave/concert, which explains a lot.
Would probably be even better with audio.

>>16509431
Pulled pork sandwich, grilled ear of corn, elephant ear for dessert, I just bring my own water to drink.

>>16510435

>>16510461
>elephant ear
Almost forgot about those.
Honestly better for eating than funnel cakes, even if they're essentially the same thing.

>>16510552
the german bakery here in town used to offer baked elephant ears at festivals instead of fried and they were leagues better, I don't know how

>>16509431
every year I always go wanting to get one of those giant french fries buckets, but i always end up forgetting.
but i do always get that giant lemonade mug and some chicken on a stick and some fried rice from an asian booth

>>16509564
Sweet. Ill have to go.
Gotta get me one of those fair floozies.

>>16510552
>same thing
who are you trying to fool

>>16510427

>>16512925
Lol, nice one.

>>16512835
No one.
Could be the vendors in my area just make them similar beyond shape and texture to some extent.

>>16509431
>what would you recommend looking out for?
The exits.

Went tonight to grab something before work, and as expected several more places were open.
A local pub was making crisps/chips and burgers. The chips were premade and average, but the burger was better than I expected for $4. Patty was closest to steak&shake or culvers, probably could've gone with a double given the amount of toppings. Going by price 8/10, probably only a good diner could compete.
Did grab some sandwiches for neighbors and a smoked pork steak sandwich for the morning, we'll see how those go.

>>16509431
Pronto pup, bratwurst, deep fried olives. Add in a few beers between them

>>16509431
What ever you do OP, if they have a free admittance night, don't go that night.

>>16514323
Every night is free admittance, since this is a two-horse town and I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter or more of the crowd would be turned off by even a $5 admittance. Also it's in the middle of town square, which is a pretty open space, so people could just jump it (and they would). Only the rides have tickets.

The most popular night is tonight since it is the night of the parade. I drove in today and picked a park about a km away that has an empty gravel lot, and by the time I got back 30m later there were people scrambling to park onto the grass. On one hand the town almost always has plenty of free parking downtown, but that also means that everyone and their grandma rushes into downtown in the last hour or so before the parade, and since people around here aren't used to city-like commute congestion it becomes a clusterfuck. If I wasn't working I would've just walked like yesterday.

>>16509431
find and patronize your local honey producer

>>16514380
Ah you live in a small town. I only have experience going to the fair in an urban area. Your lucky annon.

Find the best vendor for a mustard-dipped corn dog of good quality and get a strawberry lemonade on the side. Anything else is secondary.

>>16509751
>>16509781
what the fuck lads, where was she when I needed her? Why the fuck was it those ugly chicks I knew instead? Why the fuck am I still autistic too

>>16514395
>Ah you live in a small town. I only have experience going to the fair in an urban area.
Yup, and what you describe is common at state fairs.
>Your lucky annon.
Yup, the switch to remote has brought more than few people back to their hometowns.

>>16515246
the ones they fucked werent real lookers either. everybody is more fuckable when you both have deep fried butter and powered sugar all over yourself. its absolute hedonism, remain pure and loathe the normies.

can't go wrong with funnel cake

>>16512925

I hate going to places by myself always. I'm lonely

>>16517328
>I hate going places by myself
>I’m lonely
Then how do you expect to ever meet people? Obviously you can’t just stroll up to every random person and expect them to be conversational, but you could at least make a small effort.

>>16517452
where should I go?

>>16517452
Eh, you're both right, but if you're an NPC being in a place with new people is half the battle.
t. polite schizoid

>>16517570
what do I say? Do i just walk to the bar and sit in the bar and see if theres other people alone friday night?

>>16509477
and a funnel cake, of course

>>16509831
There's a regional amusement park I go to that has a stall for funnel cakes and elephant ears. I fucking love that place.

>>16517328
I'll go with you bro. Where you at? East coast nigga here.

>>16517856
VA?

>>16517859
PA. I'll meet you halfway.

>>16517840
Knoebels by any chance?

>>16517908
Knoebles Grove bros, where you at?

>>16517886
what's halfway?

>>16509431
always a good time at the fair!

>>16517916

>>16517915
I grew up in the shithole known as Hazleton so I spent a lot of time there. It's been a few years since I've been back. Always a good time.

>>16517924
never been. I think that's like 5 hours away from me

>>16509431
Tarctors

>>16517917
Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to regex your exact brand of shitposting

>>16517954
Lets go, it will be an adventure. It won't end in a rape or murder, I promise.

I've met up with people on imageboards before, even 4chan. In my experience if they're actually willing and interested to meetup, their probably just Schizoid oddballs at worst.

>>16517962
Consensual deep anal is hot

>>16517917

>>16518043
Go to a fair before the summer is over. Ride a ferris wheel and pick up some chicks.

>>16518067
Which fair

Happen to go outside of trailerpark, Girl whistle at me, anyway: Deal was 30 mins for 50 bucks, a bit steep me thinks.
Got it to 20 bucks and a bad blow.
I hate fairs.

>>16517960
>regex
what is that exact brand?

>>16519256
very generic statement of a few words in common English, beyond maybe a food term, that doesn't actually address the explicit topic at hand in any meaningful way, but seemingly innocuously introduces off-topic flamebait. Often rather emotive and out of place unless it is the OP.
I think the answer is a definite no, and if you think I'm crazy and reading way too much into this, fair.
