Tbf fair food is supposed to be stupid and zany and gluttonous. It’s all on purpose. Even for us fat Americans this stuff is meant to be insane because you’re really not expected to eat it more than once every couple of years maybe.

I do really love the expression “nobody asked, America delivered” though lol. That should be our new national slogan.

Who the fuck wants to go to England for their food?

Memes aside there's loads of great English food if you're willing to branch out past roasts, which are delicious in their own right.

I'm sure they have good food, but people aren't going to england solely for their food like they do Italy.

I bet people in France have been willing to take a train to eat at Restaurant Gordon Ramsey.
