Whats your favorite fair/carnival food?

dixie · 07-06-2011, 08:41 PM

hot dog
cotton candy
deep fried oreos
mini donuts
cheese fries
not food but those huge slushy drinks in the funny looking ginormous cups (which may or may not contain alcohol...jus sayin)

Medusa · 07-06-2011, 08:43 PM

They have one vendor at the Arkansas state fair that sells HUGE chunks of cheese deep fried in tempura batter and served with this amazing vodka sauce.

I salivate and pine away!

Blade · 07-06-2011, 08:43 PM

French Fries with malt vinegar
Fresh squeezed lemonade

The_Lady_Snow · 07-06-2011, 08:45 PM

Snow Cones!!!!!

Blade · 07-06-2011, 08:49 PM

oh yeah I forgot about those. REAL snow cones, not the shaved ice and imitation snow cones you get in a cup at some events. The real thing is the bomb.

Yummy! What kind of Malt Vinegar are we talking about here. After living in Scotland i can't stand Heinz. The only kind I like is English Pub.

Okiebug61 · 07-06-2011, 08:53 PM

Any one ever had the cinnamon roasted almonds? They are to die for!

moxie · 07-06-2011, 08:56 PM

I haven't been to a fair since I was a kid but elephant ears, corn dogs, lemon shake-ups and cotton candy were what I always wanted.

Grew up outside Chicago so there was always a lot of Polish food too...pierogis, sausages, etc.

And my hometown is home to the Popcorn Festival so tons of different kinds of popcorn.

I grew up in an area heavily populated with Portuguese people, so fairs and festivals (many religious in nature) always consisted of lots of traditional Portuguese food.
For 15 cents you could get a cup of tramousses. Love that stuff. Or a container of favas.

Chourico or linguica sandwiches were always available at any fair or festival in the area.

Malasadas are my favorite, my grandmother made these for Easter, but you could always get them during fairs and festivals. To the untrained eye they may resemble fried dough but let me assure you they are not. They are DEEP fried dough and that makes all the difference. While it usually has to be Easter or a festival to get them, malasadas are always available at the Portuguese Bakery on Commercial St. in Provincetown, which is a little bit like being at a fair or on Sunday morning at Tony's Bakery in Fall River.

Hard to get this stuff in Montreal even though there is a Portuguese section that has some delicious food. Just not the same food I grew up with. For example the natas here are awesome. And the peri peri chicken fabulous. No chourico or linguica though but you can buy chorizo, which to my mouth is not really the same, but good.

Oh and another rather unique and quite delicious treat you could always get at fairs or festivals where I grew up is the oft misunderstood chow mein sandwhich.

I may have digressed a tad here and there. Sorry about that.

Damn, I'm really hungry and I'm sort of specifically hungry which is harder to feed than just plain hungry.

The_Lady_Snow · 07-06-2011, 08:59 PM

ITALIAN SAUSAGE, GREEN PEPPERS & ONION SUBLIKE SAMMICH!!!!

Cowboi · 07-07-2011, 04:38 AM

Funnel cake
Corn dog with lots of mustard
Elote
Sausage, peppers, and onions

07-07-2011, 05:08 AM

I tend not to eat at such venues nowadays but if really pushed or hungry will have chips (that's fat fries) or a freshly roasted pork bun/bap/barmcake. When I was a kid and candy floss (cotton candy) was my favourite.
