Nrthwnd Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 :shock: wow that is a lot to choose from that said - you got any faves there c1 ?
coaster1 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 There's so much food at the fair that's super super awesome, some of my favs are: Corn Dogs - well can't pass up the original and best ever Fried Nutter Butters Fried Cheescake Fried PB&J Banana - that was pretty suprisingly good The Fried Pork Chop Sammich - not a hit with Courtney, but it was damn good Fried Pickles - some of the best I've had Other than that .. I think with all the food eating they all started blending together, but I have 24 days starting at 5pm tonight (Friday) to try them all and get photos
Erik Johnson Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 You should take a picture of yourself before you go to the fair, and after you go to the fair. I wonder how different you will look after eating all this wonderful fair food.
jackskellington101 Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Wow, in Texas, you can flash or deep fat fry anything! Some of that stuff sounds really good though, like the Taco Twister and the Steak salad. I know, I see all this wonderful fair food and what stands out to me, the salad. As a Marylander, I'm really curious of what their "Maryland counterpart" crab cakes taste like. We may have a pretty sucky Six Flags (gotta keep the theme park thing going ), but we've got ourselves some good crab cakes.
coaster1 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 Hey I'm already fat enough .. don't need no photos around! But yeah .. hopefully I'll have some photos of the food from tonight and maybe this weekend .. depending on our random trip to Dorney and SFGAdv this weekend

Not For Sale Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Fried Pickles - some of the best I've had A WHAT?! You mean you've had them before?!
coaster1 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 I'm looking at airfare right now! :shock: Well get on out here, I can arrange pick up at DFW As for the pickle .. can't decide if that's a smart-ass comment or not.
Not For Sale Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 As for the pickle .. can't decide if that's a smart-ass comment or not. It's not smart ass, it just sounds like the most disguisting food item ever.
coaster1 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 Fried pickle slices .. oh so tasty. Lots of places down here have them, it's mainly a southern food really .. but its a breaded dill pickle slice deep fried .. very very tasty with some ranch dressing to dip in. It's been a long day .. so no offense with the smart-arse statement.
PhishyBrewer Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Fried pickles are actually pretty popular in some pubs here in Northern California. They are very tasty. There just pickle slices in beer batter. Yummy!
coaster1 Posted October 1, 2005 Author Posted October 1, 2005 Well here we go .. so food items .. not all, but we still got 23 days left Fired Pork Chop Sammich! Original corn dog, and still the best
