Take me to the fair!

It starts here.

When summer  came around, it was a joyous time for all youth in the county. Rides and crazy food were a big part of that .  It didn't matter what  it was, just as long it wasn't what Mom fixed.

Being 4-H country kids, we manned the homemade lemonade stand, and it was good. We were covered with lemon juice and sugar.  Then we ran around looking for food.

Never had seen such in our whole young lives! 

Hamburger topped with fried ice cream

These foods go beyond unhealthy or indecently pleasurable. These deep-fat fried and non-deep-fried foods venture into a realm of absolutely unique. You may not ever see these treasures anywhere else. What might on the list of food items at different fairs?

Deep fried cereal

                     

deep fried kraut balls

Fried mac and cheese; cheese on a burger with cheese, on a Krispy Crème Donut, topped with chocolate covered bacon---it is all there. Give it a go.

Adventurous food vendors spend years on experimenting with new ideas.  Who knows what will seen at the next fair? And absolutely have to be tried?

What would you seek in this world of heart attack foods?


Just to share this gem:  Catch and Cook Baby Pythons.  Video is about 11 min. but skip around and you will be absolutely amazed.

This video shows the complete process, from catching and cooking.  This is primarily a Florida treat, as there are many pet pythons released by their owners when they grow too large to handle.  Pets go missing regularly. Young children have to be watched at all times. Python-hunting is ongoing. They have disturbed the ecosystem, esp. in the Everglades.
