Next time? Deep fried twinkies.

It’s really funny that funnel cake could be seen as exotic or especially praise worthy.

Love the title. I’m a sucker for a good pun.

Yeow! I guess you have to figure they were good at some point! I can’t imagine that they’d ever have become popular if they had always tasted/been like that. Unless it’s some kind of PR genius.

My only experience with this was the opposite, taking some recently immigrated to the States students to a state fair and having them try funnel cake. I said, it’s fine, and they were over the moon about it.

Thanks, Julie. I end up appreciating things that make no sense to other people. One of the best things about traveling is seeing things with fresh eyes.

Maybe it’s more about the fresh eyes than the fresh crab?

Kate- I loved this. I feel like almost everything I read about a supposedly great place or–especially–supposedly incredible food is always hyped and inevitably disappointing.
