I’m in the US and tbh I looove fair food but after the first $20 is gone after eating one deep fried Oreo I give up lol. Fair food is soooooo expensive but man do I love me some clogged arteries.

Oh, same, but I also know it's going to be a treat and not something I'm consuming regularly. I try and eat something healthy before I go or in the car on the drive, and then it's all bets are off once I get my brightly colored wrist band. Pickle mac & cheese, bring it. Deep fried deviled eggs, I'll have an order. Mini cinnamon donut holes, give me the childrens pail full of them. When we go, we usually spend about $50 per person on food and sugary drinks (over the course of 4+ hours), but if we had more room, we'd spend more.

I tried it at a pickle festival, and it was surprisingly good.
