      @@kingofwhitepowder7784oh it isn’t. Fair food never is. But even Americans don’t eat like it all the time. Depending on the location, the fair lasts only a couple weeks out of the year, and most fair goers go for one, maybe two days. So a super unhealthy day for sure, but in moderation with general healthy lifestyles throughout the year it shouldn’t be too bad… in theory.

    As for deep-fried sushi this is actually pretty close to one of less known but still existing in Japan types of sushi. the agezushi (揚げ寿司). This is not a roll but deep fried tofu pouch filled with rice and other ingredients that would usually be inside of a roll... So basically if this was in tofu pouch instead of seaweed you would have actuall japanese dish :)

I’ve had tempura rolls many times at my local sushi places. Tempura sushi is deep-fried, but coated in tempura instead of bread crumbs. The roll they have looks similar to tempura rolls to me.

    The deep fried pickle was a miss, I think, because of the size. They couldn’t handle long girthy pickle. Red Robin has some really good deep fried pickles on their appetizers menu and those are coin cut, so more “balanced” in the pickle-batter ratio. Similar but different from deep fried zucchini.

    I think to find the "perfect" fair food, you also need to add "how full do you feel after eating" it's so expensive that most people need something that will fill them up and can't buy every food possible.

    • @grn1
      @grn1 4 месяца назад

      Focus on protein if you want to feel full. A lot of people binge eat because they eat things with tons of carbs like bread (which is especially bad in the States due to sugar content) and pasta. The bread and pasta don't actually give you energy (in fact they deplete it) so your body keeps asking for more food. Our diets tend to be lacking in protein (at least here in the States) probably because a lot of our eating habits are based on the old food pyramid which was designed to keep soldiers fed for cheap not actually maintain them long term (there's a Food Theory video about it). To be clear carbs aren't entirely bad, we do need some and if you exercise enough you can actually burn the carbs and not suffer too much of the ill effects but you need a lot of exercise, far more than most of us have time for.

I, personally, only just tried a bite of a deep fried Oreo this year, and I can't lie - it was pretty freaking good. My late husband and I would usually share a cheesesteak or sausage and peppers then keep it simple with the funnel cake (which we never were able to finish until our son joined the party!) Oh, and I also finally tried a giant turkey leg this year, too! That was unbelievable ❤

      @@RitzTheBestChannel I've not tried deep fried snickers but I have had both fresh/hot deep fried Oreos and not so fresh or hot ones and can say that temperature is definitely important. That said at a fair by the time you find a place to sit and eat your food is often cold. Since I've not tried deep fried snickers myself I don't know how they hold up to the deep fried treatment and whether or not they'd be overpowering even when fresh (which seemed to be their main criticism). Of course it's also possible that they got ones that weren't made right, I've had deep fried Oreos that were like 90% breading which is terrible (there needs to be a balance).

    Tornado potato is the best thing at a fair, hands down.
    If you don't know what a tornado potato is, it's a fried potato that was swirl cut and can be put on a stick or in a nacho container. It can be seasoned with anything, but most stalls have garlic and regular seasoning salt. It's like the most fun French fry you could ever have. Too delicious for words, and the only thing I cannot NOT get at my fair.

You also have to realize that it's perfect for kids, or people with smaller stomachs like me. Imagine if it was 3 potatoes and you could only finish one and a half. Not only is that a huge waste of money, but it also makes you really guilty. The fact is, those potatoes are filling.

      For those not aware Knott's Berry Farm is owned by Cedar Fair who's main park, Cedar Point, is in Ohio. A lot of rides at Knott's Berry Farm are basically smaller, slower versions of Cedar Point rides though they do sometime get the benefit of being built later like their version of Top Thrill which is angled a little bit different so it doesn't break down so often (there's actually work being done on the original to add another section and I presume make other adjustments so it's more reliable).

    As a Canadian i have two things to say about the deep fried pickles: one, these are really good when done right, and can be found in almost every restaurant ive been to. And two, they are not meant to be covered in chocolate sauce and peanutbutter. 🤢

    The fried sushi we have here in Brazil, we often call it Hot California, it's easier to find than the normal sushi, it's cheaper too.

    Just found this video, and since I grew up and lived a large portion of my life in Raleigh I am getting so much joy out of seeing them eat this food in front of Dorton Arena and the WRAL News cutouts! This could only be the NC State Fair!
