I'm talking about "fair food" or the kind of stuff that makes nutritionists shudder. And might make you regurgitate your brekky just thinking about it.
Deep fried frozen watermelon?
Bacon cotton candy?
Ice “Kreamchi” Dumplings?
The attached article has pictures of these things.

@DaddyEvil Pretty well. Had a nice visit with my sister yesterday and today am at Juanita's. Probably going home tomorrow, even though she did mention taking me home tonight.

Deep fried watermelon? Sacrilege!
I skip all of that. I’m not going this year because of my back, but I get the pineapple whip. And it’s only two points on my Weight Watchers, so it’s not that “bad.”

I don't even get the tiny donuts some people think are de rigueur to have at a fair.

Deep Fried Frozen watermelon?? wow that's one I've never heard of. Wonder how the watermelon doesn't melt while it's in the fryer.

It probably has that thick crust, like sweet and sour chicken balls...

I have never been tempted by these things. I think some people just like to deep fry everything in sight. Deep fried Snicker's bars? Um...no. But I always think fair food is toxic, anyway, so there's that.

I remember one year they had deep-fried butter...

Hello @BarBaraPrz Nope. I think they cost more than five dollars, my meal budget is five dollars a day max.

I love programs about fair food. It's fascinating. Fried butter? Yuck. I used to get Swiss cheese on a stick and a corn dog.
