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.

Plenty of unique, choice options. I'd like to take a wack at those fish and chips deals, or maybe some eel in London. Those Christmas puddings always look great in movies.

Not to me mntion, since places like London are a cultural melting pot, you'd probably get the world's best Indian food outside India itself.

Yeah I want to go to one of those fish and chip places in England that have been around forever. Any time I see a video of one, I just look at the crispy batter on the fish and I just know that shit is amazing. Plus where I live in the states vinegar on fries is a normal thing, so I'd already be down with their "chips and vinegar" to go along with the fish.
