Porpoise noise continues.
The worst thing I've ever seen food-wise at the NYS Fair is fried dough. Wine slushies are probably AFP, though.

Non food-wise, I saw a t-shirt in the No Man's Land bordering the Iroquois village that said check me for ticks and to this day, I regret not buying it.

E: New York state is nothing like NYC, for those who don't know.

Boob milk fried dough.

I went to the Montana state fair and they didn't have much in the way of interesting fried foods. Rodeo clowns with meth mouth, though, there were some of those.

I was gonna say, isn't fried dough the same thing as a funnel cake? It's basically just like a crunchier donut in a weird shape

No, no; it was a lame Grapes of Wrath joke.

I do not want to drink breast milk ever.

E: these are more like fried balls of dough? I've never tried it.

It's different. Fried dough is a, usually flattened, chunk of bread dough dropped in the fryer. Funnel cake is batter that is dripped/poured into the fryer, forming a big swirly mass.

Don't you mean the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?

Edit: The North American Commonwealth is a great name for a hypothetical nation consisting of a unified Canada, USA, and Mexico. God bless the NAC!

Edit 2: someone already came up with this idea and wrote lovely fanfic about it:

The Big E is :boom: and so is the Topsfield Fair. The Barnstable County Fair is also pretty boss. There are forty county and local fairs in Mass between late June and mid-October, but a lot of them are kind of lovely. Still.

Big E has great rides and horse pulls. Topsfield has the giant pumpkin, which is always a trip, and bizarre assortments of washed-up rock stars performing on the big stage (in between the pumpkin and the racing pigs). I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders there once, it was embarrassing for everybody.

Well they don't really last that long and most people don't go to them for more than like a day or two it's not like some NASA project where you're strapped in a capsule and forcefed fried dough for 3 months while rasta bananas are thrown at you

I think that's about right, the Shrimp and Bananas thing. IKEA sells something like them, too, with a rather unfortunate name:

And Pineapple Lumps (NZ and maybe Australia?) are kind of like pineapple-flavored circus peanuts enrobed in delicious lovely chocolate.

Pineapple lumps are more of a toffee, they're super sweet and sticky. Circus peanuts sound more like our Fruit Puffs or Eskimos, which are puffy and kind of a solid marshmallow I guess?

We've run out of normal tea at work, so tonight I made a customer a Summer Fruits tea with milk and sugar. I asked him specifically and separately whether he still wanted the milk and sugar and he said yes to both. No pics, but it was an awful colour.

The trick is, the pizza and milk have to be cold. And make sure there isn't too much tomato sauce.

Other than that, it's pretty straightforward.
