did the throwing up part of this scenario......we had eaten supper at home and then went to the fair. First ride was the tilt-a-whirl, then on the scrambler, and back on the tilt-a-whirl.....we get off and my brother starts throwing up....the tilt-a-whirl operator just started laughing...... I felt so bad for my brother.

It was sold with more flattering names but I'll bottom line it.

Made ponging for beer steins more fun.

This was at the German-American volksfest in Mannheim, Germany.

And the pommes-frites were to die for.

One of my favorites

Locally my favorite is roasted corn on the cob!
Steak on a stick at Scarborough Faire is pretty good also.

Elephant ears

Kettle corn.
