    • @@kingofwhitepowder7784oh it isn’t. Fair food never is. But even Americans don’t eat like it all the time. Depending on the location, the fair lasts only a couple weeks out of the year, and most fair goers go for one, maybe two days. So a super unhealthy day for sure, but in moderation with general healthy lifestyles throughout the year it shouldn’t be too bad… in theory.

  • The deep fried pickle was a miss, I think, because of the size. They couldn’t handle long girthy pickle. Red Robin has some really good deep fried pickles on their appetizers menu and those are coin cut, so more “balanced” in the pickle-batter ratio. Similar but different from deep fried zucchini.

    • Focus on protein if you want to feel full. A lot of people binge eat because they eat things with tons of carbs like bread (which is especially bad in the States due to sugar content) and pasta. The bread and pasta don't actually give you energy (in fact they deplete it) so your body keeps asking for more food. Our diets tend to be lacking in protein (at least here in the States) probably because a lot of our eating habits are based on the old food pyramid which was designed to keep soldiers fed for cheap not actually maintain them long term (there's a Food Theory video about it). To be clear carbs aren't entirely bad, we do need some and if you exercise enough you can actually burn the carbs and not suffer too much of the ill effects but you need a lot of exercise, far more than most of us have time for.

My late husband and I would usually share a cheesesteak or sausage and peppers then keep it simple with the funnel cake (which we never were able to finish until our son joined the party!) Oh, and I also finally tried a giant turkey leg this year, too! That was unbelievable ❤

That said at a fair by the time you find a place to sit and eat your food is often cold. Since I've not tried deep fried snickers myself I don't know how they hold up to the deep fried treatment and whether or not they'd be overpowering even when fresh (which seemed to be their main criticism). Of course it's also possible that they got ones that weren't made right, I've had deep fried Oreos that were like 90% breading which is terrible (there needs to be a balance).

It can be seasoned with anything, but most stalls have garlic and regular seasoning salt. It's like the most fun French fry you could ever have. Too delicious for words, and the only thing I cannot NOT get at my fair.

You also have to realize that it's perfect for kids, or people with smaller stomachs like me. Imagine if it was 3 potatoes and you could only finish one and a half.

Last time I was out that way I was about 15 I think, the main thing I remember is going on a ride and the operator learning I'm from Ohio and turning it up so I wouldn't fall asleep. For those not aware Knott's Berry Farm is owned by Cedar Fair who's main park, Cedar Point, is in Ohio. A lot of rides at Knott's Berry Farm are basically smaller, slower versions of Cedar Point rides though they do sometime get the benefit of being built later like their version of Top Thrill which is angled a little bit different so it doesn't break down so often (there's actually work being done on the original to add another section and I presume make other adjustments so it's more reliable).
