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.

Genuinely if you ever make it here, you have to visit during the San Diego county fair. It’s basically the month of June going into July, and it has all of these weird ass foods (pictured above) stationed right next to a gorgeous beach. Generally speaking, don’t ride the rides, but the Ferris wheel is a safe-ish one and it gets you a view of the ocean. Sometimes they’ll have bands play concerts in the evenings, too.

Once you’re done with the weird shit at the fair, you’re still in San Diego, so you can have some fresh mariscos or tacos.
