cute to see all the veg/an options but they should rethink this one Served on a bed of pine

rob, Wednesday, 23 July 2025 19:07 (four weeks ago)

I searched my soul and I'd most like to eat the fawaffle.

Jordan s/t (Jordan), Wednesday, 23 July 2025 19:12 (four weeks ago)

I generally do more beer exploring than eating at the fair, and I don’t pay much attention to new fair foods, but my first order of business is always a jerk chicken roti from Harry Singh’s. Longstanding tradition.

It needs to be said that the end of the Uncrustaburger description is "sandwiched between two deep-fried peanut butter & grape jelly Uncrustables®." And there's a photo.

jaymc, Wednesday, 23 July 2025 19:18 (four weeks ago)

I misread one of the entries as flauta diapers

it's annoying that even if you click through to the site, the descriptions are still cut off and you have to click each item individually to see the full blurb

budo jeru, Wednesday, 23 July 2025 19:27 (four weeks ago)

most of these look good to me, would love to know which one is offered for the least amount of money and what that is. $17?

budo jeru, Wednesday, 23 July 2025 19:36 (four weeks ago)

$17-ish sounds about right. My band plays at Dino’s Gyros each year, so I can check out that whipped feta gratis.

Missed a trick not calling this thread ‘whipped feta and other delights’.

Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 23 July 2025 20:14 (four weeks ago)

It's probably an abomination but the tandoori chicken quesaratha hands down amazing I'll take 14 right now.

2x, the first time I saw this list that was where I went immediately

Will also say that in addition to veg/an options the fair has some good GF food for ppl who need it

two weeks pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Thursday, 7 August 2025 00:01 (two weeks ago)

I would eat p much all of these

voted Hmong aromatics

sleeve, Thursday, 7 August 2025 02:52 (two weeks ago)

right now, the Tofuego Bites sound the best to me. points for the name at least.

jaymc, Thursday, 7 August 2025 02:54 (two weeks ago)

If I had to think for more than 5 seconds about whether I would like to eat any of these my head would start to hurt something fierce.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 7 August 2025 02:56 (two weeks ago)

I think I like the look of the tandoori Quesaparatha as well.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 7 August 2025 03:55 (two weeks ago)

a lot of these sound good but i'll probably just end up getting corn and a vegan corn dog as usual

moral ziosk (geoffreyess), Thursday, 7 August 2025 03:57 (two weeks ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Friday, 8 August 2025 00:01 (two weeks ago)

hooray for Fawaffle!

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 8 August 2025 00:02 (two weeks ago)

I will eat one in the thread's honor in a few weeks

underminer of twenty years of excellent contribution to this borad (dan m), Friday, 8 August 2025 00:10 (two weeks ago)
