They’ve about got the grounds ready to go after the big fire last year.

If you like paper thin tasteless burgers yeah I suppose. Mostly they put all knds of crap on them to provide a substitute for flavor.

We went all the time when I was a kid. The exhibits were so good then that I never rode any rides. Later years, there were fewer and fewer exhibits and the yawns came. Haven’t been back in 25 years and have no plans to do so.

Guess they’ll still have student week so that’ll be more days of the little hoodlums not learning anything.

Frying is quick cooking for the crowds.

Aren’t pancakes always fried? Otherwise, they’d spread out to a giant blob in the oven. Maybe they’re refrying them.

Blah, why ruin bacon by dumping sugar all over it? Guessing those Bacon Jam Corn things are just corn fritters with messed up bacon selling for 3/$10.

A couple nights ago, had maybe 3 T of leftover corn and a. yellow squash so tossed in an egg, flour and seasoning. Part of the seasoning was dried onion skins so that was basically free. Made 7 fritters for about 75 cents total.

“Why must they fry everything?”

Is this a trick question?
