Sometimes I'm ashamed of my state

[Gibb]

I love Texas, I truly do, but when I see stuff like this, a small piece of my love withers and dies.

This is a list of some of the foods at the State Fair of Texas, going on right now in Dallas.

OMG I'm getting a heart attack just looking at that list, and at the same time I'm loving every moment of it. o.o

Fruit Bag Drinks *– Fruit, juice and ice combined in a clear bag with a straw for slow sipping. Savor the flavor of the juice and then eat the fruit! Benz Food Company stand CBP-1 located in Cotton Bowl Plaza.

Mmmmm. Chicken Fried Bacon.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... i love it. i'm bringing a defibrilator just in case.

[Soluzar]

Hi. I come from the country that invented the deep fried Mars Bar.

Pleased to meet you. -_-;

[Bernard_Monsha]

... i love it. i'm bringing a defibrilator just in case.

Deep fried condensed milk for GNK.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

Deep fried condensed milk for GNK.

...you know i can dig it. BRING IT.

[Tonyx35]

What in the world is with all the Batter and "Deep Fried" ?

The four that really have scratching my head at the moment would be...

1. Cupcakes + Deep Fried + powdered sugar = what the heck?
2. Fried Jelly beans ?
3. Deep fried smores ? (so very wrong in my book)
4. Fried, cream filled cake on stick ?

Crispy Fried Cantaloupe Pie sound too crazy for me ( I would just give it to someone else if I was ever given one)

Pardon me for being rude but I'm sure that the local cooks and establishments could have come up with some much better items.

[Bradster]

^ Concessions at a State Fair (or carnival) have to be deep-fried or covered in some kind of batter. It's the law. Tofu would be deep-fried if it was offered, but the stand-owner would not be allowed back if he didn't also offer cheesesteak sandwiches or pizza. Or Elephant Ears.


Oooooh, bread pudding with rum sauce! Pretty lean on the BBQ entries though.... is this really in Texas?

[seba_boi]

No wonder Texas is the fattest state in US... Everything's deep-fried!... Though it's making me hungry just reading the menu though...

[Sendo Takeshi]

It's Texas. You should be simply disappointed for being born there. Yes, I hate that state as much as anyone else. Maybe even more.

[fujyoshi]

jeesh O-o I see why your ashamed o.o

[Hara!]

I want to live in Texas now.

[Tom Servo]

I want to live in Texas now.
Me too.

brb moving to Texas.

[Naraku]

What is there to be ashamed of? The State Fair always has that ****. You just now noticed it?

[Ikari Warrior]

What is there to be ashamed of? The State Fair always has that ****. You just now noticed it?

Yes, EVERY state fair has it. I'm sure the state fairs up in Sendo's fair state of New York have that much fried nonsense on their menus.

I skimmed that list, but I didn't see the deep-fried oreos, a recurring "treat" at the fair down here. 3.50 for FIVE of them!

[The Million Dollar Prons]

How about those funnel cakes that look like they're burried in snow?

[animeotaku99]

All of that food sounds so delicious. I'm going to need to buy a fryer and try some of this food out. Even though I said I would eat healthier for my training

....and I'm not banned anymore YEAH!

[taily]

^ Oh wow. Seriously wow.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Gibb: Are you kidding? If it weren't for the @#$%& Cowboys (the NFL team), I'd move to Texas in a heartbeat to groove on chow like that! :lol:

[superplough]

That list belongs in the Awesome Thread. Seriously, that is the best thing ever.

[goddessofanime]

Some of that sounds good...but some of that sounds digusting as well.

[Caster13]

Welcome to the Texas State Fair!:D Those with preexisting heart conditions or high blood pressure should not attend this event.

[goddessofanime]

I can hear my arteries clogging in fear just from reading the descriptions of some of those foods.

So is frying everything a Southern thing?

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...in the south, they kill it with frying.

[Gibb]

I'm going to the fair on Saturday, so maybe I'll try some chicken fried bacon, mmmmmmm bacon...

[Phantom]

Banana-flavored whipped cream that’s been frozen in liquid nitrogen? Sounds awesome!

[Ken-Ohki]

I may actually gain weight eating like that. It would make my family happy anyhow and some of it does sound good.

[LOSTyears]

Gibb: Are you kidding? If it weren't for the @#$%& Cowboys (the NFL team), I'd move to TexasGoing to pretend I didn't read this, they should be the #2 reason you'd move there ^_^

Reading that menu does make me homesick(originally from Texas), I'd eat most of that stuff on my cheat day.
BBQ eggroll had me going huh :unsure: at first but I thought about, yeah I would eat that lol :naughty:

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

How about those funnel cakes that look like they're burried in snow?

I never got the opportunity to eat one of those but they did look good. Available at some amusement parks and food chains....

All that white powder looks like something else though....snow is a nice euphemism.

[Caster13]

It's called confectionery sugar.

[goddessofanime]

And it's a local delicacy around here at fairs.

Amish put out great funnel cake

[sailornyanko]

I tried funnel cake when I was in Kansas City back in 2001; tastes quite good actually. It's a bit like a freshly fried doughnut with powder sugar, but only stringier.

Beefy Fried Queso Bites *– Queso mixed with taco meat, breaded in a zesty batter and deep fried. Stand FW-46, Guacamole Paradise, located inside the Thrill Way Area.

Chick-a-Mole Bites – Guacamole mixed with a taco-flavor shredded chicken and cheddar/Monterey jack cheese, breaded in a zesty batter and deep fried. Served at Stand FW-46, Guacamole Paradise, located inside the Thrill Way Area.

What in the bloody hell IS taco meat anyways? Down here in mexico, all sorts of body parts of animals become taco meat because they are served inside of a taco. :huh: We have beef and chicken steak, bacon, cow tongue, cow brains (I find brain to be delicious once you get used to the bitter after flavor), pig intestines (insanely delicious), liver, something we call tinga that is boiled shredded chicken with tomato sauce, fried pig skin, pig hooves (I deny to try that one out), fried cow blood (that stuff tastes awful BTW), fish, crab, octopus, and mostly whatever kind of edible meat sliced down enough to fit in a taco you can think of. Never seen it sold myself, but you can get dog meat tacos if you know where to eat 'em.

There isn't a "taco flavor" meat, at least I've never eaten a taco that has a "taco flavor" flavor. Doesn't make sense to me at all. :huh:


---

As for the dishes, some sound kind of tasty to take a quick bite out of them, but I personally don't like fried food that much (no wonder I only weigh 100 pounds). I'm suirmish enough to eat a few french fries every 3 months, I don't think I could survive at such a cholesterol food fest for me. :eek:

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...still waiting for that deep fried sweetbreads taco with pureed haggis sauce.

[Undrave]

Some of those actually sound good! Fire and Ice for exemple is intriguing.

Problem is...I wouldn't eat more than two of those on the same week! Let alone day ><

[Old Ape Face]

...still waiting for that deep fried sweetbreads taco with pureed haggis sauce.

OMG haggis is good!!

[tofuman]

That list doesn't really surprise me. Texas is, after all, the state with the most obese people.

[fujyoshi]

I'm going to the fair on Saturday, so maybe I'll try some chicken fried bacon, mmmmmmm bacon...

o-o eww all this tawk of gratuitous grease battered food makes me sick >< it even smells processed ><

How can you not like that? I have converted many a vegetarian to man's natural diet with bacon. Bacon the gateway meat.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Is that deep fried bacon and ranch dressing?

[Caster13]

Unfortunately yes. Or the gravy that you put on top of biscuts. :x:x

Although in AZ there aren't that many fat people.

Can you say "Trichinosis"?;)

[Old Ape Face]

Mmm Cows blood, Kishka as the polocks would call it, good stuff if you like very salty hash really.

Never had it on a taco, but it's amazing just by itself.

[sailornyanko]

Unfortunately yes. Or the gravy that you put on top of biscuts. :x:x

Can you say "Trichinosis"?;)

Actually Trichinosis is a highly unusual disease down here. I've never seen a medical case in the hospitals.

Now Cisticercosis, well, that's a whole different thing. You know a country's cuisine is whack when people think eating pig meat infected with intestinal parasites is "tasty". It's pretty common to see enclosed cisticerosis larvae capsules in brain CAT scans. I've seen at least 3 of 'em. And yes, you can eat cisticerocisis coated meat in tacos. :-"

that looks......diseased o.o and yes I do hate bacon I cant even stand the smell of it >< how could you kill the poor vegetarians D: they are probably healthier then all meat eaters too

[Old Ape Face]

Taking short breaths of air for long periods of time is dangerous to your health too you know.

Observations on this post

1. You need to see an optometrist.

2. If you do not like bacon you are soulless. Bacon is proof God loves you.

3. Vegetarians are weedy and have atrophied brains.

[fujyoshi]

wut O-o well I'm not a vegitarian but I don't like bacon its nasty

[Spadesy]

Dude, Gibb, America is all about being hardassed. Germany has frankfurts. Asia has rice and vegetables. Canada has maple syrup. You could count on America for heart attack inducing food culture...fried and refried meat products, sausage wrapped in melted cheese, fried sheep stomach...we also have some strong cigs and beer.

Real men digest rocket fuel, grass eater.

[superplough]

wut O-o well I'm not a vegitarian but I don't like bacon its nasty

How can you not like bacon?

Like bernard says Bacon is proof that God loves you.

Nothing in the known universe is more awesome than bacon.

[tenshi_a]

I'm the kind of omnivore that likes to sit and rip bits off of a dead animal and eat them right in front of a vegetarian (usually Soluzar, and usually a roasted animal - it has to be cooked, and it has to still resemble an animal), but I have to agree - that bacon looks completely unappealing.

I guess it's the kind of thing you would only eat if you were really really drunk (like pork scratchings, for example)?

I never really like bacon anyway - I prefer my animals to taste mostly of MEAT not SALT.

[Soluzar]

Speaking as the vegetarian in question, I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. I'm not really disgusted by meat... I don't find the smell appetizing, but I also don't find it to put me off my own food. I don't care about the dietary choices of others. It is a source of perpetual amusement to me that so many meat-eaters seem offended and shocked that I prefer (because it's purely a preference) beans, soya products, and vegetables (oh, and tons of cheeeeeeeeeeseeeeeee :D) to meat.

I also agree that the picture looks completly unappealing, and I must say that it has nothing to do with the fact that it's meat. It just looks too greasy, and I don't normally mind greasy foods.

[Old Ape Face]

well you wanna tell me who does that or are you just saying that for fun?

Every body does it, it might take you 100 years but you're gonna die anyway.

[goddessofanime]

I tried to go vegetarian years ago but I couldn't. I love meat too much.

[HSaabedra]

I tried to go vegetarian years ago but I couldn't. I love meat too much.

This phrase leaves you open to so many jokes....:P

[fujyoshi]

pft well thats an awfully cheap way to look at life I mean would you rather live a long healthy life or would you rather stroke out at 40 wit 50 pills having to be taken everyday for the rest of what would be your short miserable life, then have cholesteral, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and pretty much everything else all that crap causes but meh whatever guess you can't tell something to someone that won't listen, and I get the idea from trying to tawk to my brother all the time.

Looks like deep fried entrails to me, which are just as healthy.

Deep fried bacon can be hit or miss, but damn if I can find a woman that can deep fry a good piece of fish. There's no place in Dallas/Fort Worth that I know of where I can get a good basket of Fish & Chips.

Regarding the eating of small animals in front of Soluzar:

Are you trolling your significant other on purpose, or is it meant to tease him? I ask this because a good female friend of mine is vegan and begs me to stop eating meat, this while I'm savoring Wagyu and Kobe beef at a five-star in Dallas every month and she joins me for company.

I tell her I'm not interested in depriving my body of essential fat and proteins, not to mention I'm big on bread, sugar, and dairy. My diet is rather unhealthy but I'm gaining weight so it cancels out.

I guess it's the kind of thing you would only eat if you were really really drunk (like pork scratchings, for example)?

You eat that drunk? I suggest meat but it depends on how drunk you are, and since I get shitfaced monthly I love steak.

I never really like bacon anyway - I prefer my animals to taste mostly of MEAT not SALT.

I like it as a part of breakfeast, but hate it on burgers unless its appropriately crunchy.

[Old Ape Face]

I eat what I feel like eating, I'll worry about what happens to my body when the times comes.

[tenshi_a]

Regarding the eating of small animals in front of Soluzar:

Eating dead animals is good and healthy, not to mention enjoyable, for tenshi_a. :dance:

Soluzar would be dead if he tried eating dead animals with tenshi_a, because doing so makes him very sick. He somehow manages to live on sugar and bread and cheese and chocolate and salt, but tenshi_a would be dead in a day from eating Soluzar's food.

Even though he's a vegetarian, his normal diet contains too few vegetables, too much processed food, and too much sugar and saturated fat - I'd just get sick. His father is one of those stroke victims living on 50 drugs a day, and seems to have somehow managed to convince his son that his terrible diet isn't at all a contributory factor to his poor health. -_-;

There's no point in us avoiding each other while eating. That would just be antisocial. I'm not really trolling him!

There is a lot of food we both eat together too. I really like tofu, I did before he came along as well. Just... not to eat all the time. I need variety or it feels like I "wasted" a meal by not trying something different.

I sometimes troll the vegetarians and vegans at work by bringing in nice tasty fragrant vegetable curry + rice to work for lunch... which is not vegetarian, bwahahaha! I prefer not to use meat in curry as it dimishes the flavour (IMHO), and I use some kind of South-East-Asian curry paste that contains mushed-up shrimp... so not suitable for vegetarians. A lot of vegetarians (e.g. the ones at work) will complain (LOUDLY) that "X-mostly-vegetable dish" contains small amounts of meat or seafood (JUST TO EXCLUDE THEM!) (JUST TO MEANINGLESSLY KILL ANIMALS!), but they don't realise that in the old days, and in the poorer nations, using small amounts of meat like this in a sauce/paste/seasoning is essential to increasing the nutritional value of a meal that otherwise contains no meat.

[Sendo Takeshi]

We're all gonna die eventually.

And yes, all women love meat.

[Soluzar]

Soluzar would be dead if he tried eating dead animals with tenshi_a, because doing so makes him very sick. He somehow manages to live on sugar and bread and cheese and chocolate and salt, but tenshi_a would be dead in a day from eating Soluzar's food.
Oh hey... that's... well yeah. I mean, I eat good healthy food sometimes, most days in fact, but whenever I just feel self-indulgent it's just basically what you said.

Even though he's a vegetarian, his normal diet contains too few vegetables, too much processed food, and too much sugar and saturated fat - I'd just get sick.
Only when I'm feeling lazy. I've been trying to put that right recently.

[Bernard_Monsha]

. I mean, I eat good healthy food

5 facts about this Quorn stuff Biscuit eats.

1. Quorn is not food.

2. Quorn is very good for sealing toilet boots and is usful as grout.

3. Quorn is made from people!!!

4. Quorn is the one thing bacon cannot improve, thus it is an abomination shunned by all people of all beliefs.

5. Richard Dawkins uses Quorn as proof no God exist to counter the bacon argument.

[Soluzar]

5 facts about this Quorn stuff Biscuit eats.
I find no fault with your arguments. Those are the exact things I like about Quorn! Mmmh, humans are so much tastier than the lower animals. Seriously though, I eat more tofu than quorn lately. I already know your views on that, though. Those views are rather widespread, because I think most people just don't know how to prepare tofu properly. I admit that when prepared badly it's about as appetizing as the contents of a handkerchief into which someone has just blown their nose.

In defense of my dietary habits, I have to add that tenshi_a forgot to mention the simply colossal amounts of fruit and milk that I consume. However, in fairness to her post, I have been eating an excess amount of junk lately, and I recently decided to cut back on that.

I'm going for the whole Caligula diet myself :P. If I'm not on AN Monday, expect a report about me dying from a massive coronary from too much State Fair food. If I'm going to eat, it might as well be enjoyable.

Hahaha, I find that battered heart attack causing bacon pic to be a bit gross, but dammit, I love my bacon (but not that crunchy, just barely cooked and soft). Bacon & steak are one of my favorite meaty taco flavors.

you my friend have just lost my appeal to living in places like that.


Yes I realize the irony of this post, but common parasites or bacon?

Hahaha, as common as cisticercosis infection is, I've never actually seen a taco that contained it. Funny, because some of the taco joints I really like are really gritty looking and are casually located in slumy neighborhoods. I need my weekly dosage of amibiasis or I could end up getting real sick!!!

And talking about insane things that are actually edible, anyone wants some pulque? You don't want to know what's the secret ingredient (oh, and the secret ingredient can have parasites haha). My mom tried the stuff once and wanted to puke. Now I'm even more curious to try it (despite how gross the secret ingredient is).

Hey, don't be so mean to Soluzar! He DOES eat cheese and drink milk afterall! A nice n' greasy cheese 'n cuitlacoche quesadilla is gooooood (one of the few greasy things I like to eat every now and then. Tioo bad that godly good mushroom only grows during the rainy season though).

Fried Apple iPie...topped with an edible iPod “like” mp3 player and whipped cream.

What do they mean edible iPod? Is that a candy?

We're all gonna die eventually.

And yes, all women love meat.

Not ALL women. Take Rosie O'Donnel, Ellen Degeneras, and Lindsay Lohan (because we needed a hot example). Not to mention the ones in highschool that you thought were guys.:x

[Haro!]

I think the Apple iPie sounds delicious.

I don't know, but if spelling and grammar are affected by diet, perhaps it's time you changed what you ate, too! :P

[fujyoshi]

I would think that would only have to do wit if you payed attention in school but meh who observes spelling and grammer on the internet /heh

A lack of Alphabet Soup, you need to have a grilled ham and cheese on rye bread with plenty of mayo and fresh cut tomato to go with it.

/sigh thats the problem wit you people....

So what? It felt good going down, not your problem.

Being a Texas Cowgirl, I have never been to the Texas State Fair myself, but what they have reminds me of the Texas Folklife Festival held in June here in SA. I'd like to go to the Texas State Fair one day, but Dallas is a little too far away from here, and with today's gas prices. I'm sure it would be fun. Some of that food sounded tastey!! ^_^

[fujyoshi]

wow O_O question how many of you texans here are healthy?

[Old Ape Face]

Question how many of you expect to live past 65?

Personally by that time I'll be retired and not really caring about my health as much. Looking fit and healthy is awesome, but a little fat isn't going to kill you, and by a little I mean a lot :P

MMMM Tamales. There are no tamales here, I have had things people claimed to be tamales but they were dry and covered with refried beans. No tortas here either. :(

Clearly your choice to move was ill-advised as Mexicans do not exist in Crimson Tide territory, the Confederate flag is a natural deterrent. :lol:

Oh yeah, the REAL tamales are those where you grill the entire pig head as it stares at you, and then cut up parts of it for real authentic pork tamales a la Mexicana. :lol:

Actually I'm rather skinny and need to pack on a few pounds, o.o and I don't live in Texas.

But you know what can kill you faster then any beer binge or Fat clogging your arteries, and is actually quite painful? Over dose on those energy drinks and your kidneys will be screaming for days.

Tamales are the most disgusting an unedible nasty little things in the planet in my opinion. Green tamales are the only tamales I find even moderately .. tolerable (and everytime I eat one I barf them the following day.. I wonder why). Sweet tamales.. ugh, I barfed the one and only time in my life I ever ate it. I daresay I have a sweet tooth, but sweet tamales is just... I can't even describe the horror of voluntairly eating one.

But you know what's even worse than a sweet tamale? It's a deep fried sweet tamale. Unfortunately I have to smell the stench every bloody day when I go to the downtown hospitals. Ironic, people clog their ateries with that nasty stuff than expect the doctors in the hospitals to fix 'em. :rolleyes:

Tortas, god I love tortas. Used to dislike them when I moved to Mexico but they grew on me. A torta can beat a sandwich anyday! My favorite ones are the pierna meat ones. In Mexico City it's kind of like the staple street breakfast to eat a guajalote (an inhumane crime anyone can do to a torta: a tamale torta.. worse is when it's a deep-fried tamale torta, YUCK) + atole. (FYI atole is like liquid pudding and comes in a huge variety of unusual flavors).

Mmm atole, that's good stuff. Love the coffee and chocolate flavored ones.
