I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Aah gently caress all my life I thought "spring onion" just meant like, a regular onion, only it's small because it's so early in the year. It's a whole different vegetable :doh:

But yeah you can just dip them and scronch. It's kind of sweet.

Yeah. They're young onions that are harvested before the bulb begins to swell. The real mindfuck is that cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan are all the same plant, selectively bred to look different.

sure and shots of straight olive oil would be the highest but a stick of butter or a cup of oil don't really feel like food per se, just ingredients

I would eat a fried butter stick though. Probably only once, but I would.

Of course, that’s why I mentioned a fried stick of butter being more caloric dense food than fried pecan pie because it is prepared. It’s not a shot of oil, it is a prepared food for fine dining. Only the classiest of foods.

Also you are braver than I am. I couldn’t bring myself to try it.

50/50 fat/sugar is what apparently triggers positive human taste responses most effectively, and this can get more calories down that just straight fat or sugar - for example, cheesecake

Do other countries do an equivalent to the all American state fair? Or are we the only ones that celebrate prosperity with such a grotesque display of food abominations?

Like I’ve been to markets. It is objectively wrong to use such a simple term for a state fair.
I honestly had never been to a state fair until I was almost thirty and by god, it’s like a portal from hell opened up in my city.

Like is everything gross at your countries market? Like even I get gross just being there.
You can’t actually buy any healthy food at one. It’s only gross foods.
I’m sad that America doesn’t actually have American exceptionalism when it comes to these yearly celebrations.

There are various big agriculture shows and fair type things in the UK. The Royal Welsh show, that sort of thing. A few days of farmers doing farmer things, animal competitions, food and drink stalls, inbred people (members of the royal family) wandering about.

They're more likely to try and sell you artisanal cheese, single variety cider and handcrafted tchotchkes. Some people will undoubtedly be selling junk food of highly debatable provenance.

Depending on the size/permanence of the fair, there is nearly always a ferris wheel of some type and maybe some ride a carnie put together yesterday that probably won't kill anyone

Are fireman's carnivals A Thing? I always looked forward to them when I was a kid. It's basically a state fair type thing to raise money for the fire department (small town PA in this case). It was held the week of the 4th so the fireworks were part of the experience. The FD set up a big pavilion where they cooked so that sorta displaced most of the fair food.

Yeah a US state fair is nothing like a market or a standard agriculture show. That's an insane comparison.

It's a crazy carnival with cows and pigs and deep fried absolutely everything. The more outrageous and unhealthy the more popular you'll be. And Styx, Great White, or other forgotten 80's bands will probably be playing on stage too.

I miss living in New England and going to the Big E : The Eastern States Exposition

It is a SIX-STATE state fair and has a street of miniature versions of all six New England capitol buildings, with cool exhibits and signature food from each state



Go get a baked potato and a blueberry pie in Maine, and some clam cakes and Del's Lemonade in RI

The big e has all the individual elements of the agricultural fairs from across the US but it's so much more... Professional?

You can definitely get all the grossest fair foods known to man but it feels like going to a major league sports game versus the county fairs little league

You should probably rename it then because a market is something very different. It's where you go to buy stuff. Like food. For your family.

Not like, ferris wheels and heavy metal bands.
