Funnel cakes. Greasy fried dough with sugar is a must.
LOL. Hard to beat ! 🤠 I like em with the powdered sugar. They're also good with pie fillings on top...apple, blueberry or cherry. Yep. Good Stuff ! About an hour south of Morgantown, WV on I-79 is a town called Fairmont, that has a popular ice cream stand called Dairy Creme Corner. They will make you a delicious funnel cake, pile a mountain of soft serve ice cream on it, and then top it with whatever sundae toppings you want. It is glorious.

Pizza Fritte, cannoli, porketta sandwiches, potato pancakes, and gnocchi w/meatballs are favorites here.

I should correct the price of the burgers, and water, the burgers were 5 bucks each, the water a dollar.

Live the hot sausages, cheesesteaks and gyros.

We are not attending the fair up here this year. Usually it's corn dogs and lemonade.

It's hard to beat a pork chop on a stick. Never heard of such a thing. We have fry bread stuffed with taco meat. It's pretty common around this part of the midwest. The Nebraska and Iowa Pork Producers Associations usually supply the chops or even operate the booth themselves. The number of those things served at the Iowa state fair is mind blowing.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Two burgers, and a bottle of water, 21 clams. It hit the spot. Here - that's 9 bucks.

Around here the county fairs have really good tenderloin sandwiches - pork tenderloin grilled over charcoal, mopped with a spicy vinegar sauce, served on a hamburger bun. People line up for them.

There is a sausage making company in Southern OR, Taylor's, that does regional fairs around here, the sausage is good of course...but the big draw is they have a lathe type device that turns big russet baking spuds into curly fries....they cut the fries, and fry them in top quality oil, right before your eyes...biggest draw at the fair...yes, bigger than the beer garden.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I really look forward to roasted corn on the cob mostly.
Funnel cake is good too but for me - it's CotC and looking at tractors. I'll do a lap through the critter barns but otherwise - food, beer, and equipment.

The good places are the ones run by the churches. But the best place is the one that's run by a local butcher shop meat market. They have a country ham sandwich that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

I’d always take her to enter her homemade quilts and homemade pies in the contests. She won several events over the years with her entries. Now the County Fair is over run with fuggin Wetbacks and 400 lb Welfare women covered with tattoos.

And I am in that line at least twice... cash in hand.
