I’m known as a decent judge of food. So I have to weigh in (pun not intended) on this one. Two of my favorite fair foods this year are not on the poll list. So I will make my own list. My wife and I eat at the fair every year. The last couple years we have gone twice so that has increased the chances of a good meal at the fair. Here’s my 1,2,3 list of great foods.
1. Jerk Hut – Curry chicken on rice and red beans with cabbage and plantain. — Great tasting meal, just enough spice, lots of food too, with Jamacian flair at a great price. Relish the taste, spit out the bones, go away satisfied.
2. Gianelli Sausage with peppers – always a favorite – Gianelli is tops
3. Apple dumpling with vanilla caramel sauce, ice cream and whipped cream — Good apple, cooked just right.
