FRIED TWINKIE!!!

The monster of all things one can eat! I've mentioned that I have a thing for fried food, though this is horrendous when it comes to it. Most likely, the only place you can find this horror is at a carnival, and it can either turn out really good and worth it, or really bad and a horrible waste of $3. The North Fork of Long Island is currently having it's annual Strawberry Festival and in my family, it isn't the rides that matter, it's the food.

The first thing that we came to when we walked in was the strawberry shortcake stand which is the most popular attraction that they have to offer. However, when we made it to the festival at 9:45, after having dinner, we were deferred by the shortcake stand because of the fact that they RAN OUT!!! I wasn't going to leave after paying $5 to get in to the fair. I remembered that years ago, I went to a fair right near where my permanent residence is and I had a fried Twinkie there for the first time in my life and it turned out really good, though, I never managed to get my hands on one since.

Being it that we were at this carnival where there had to have been about 10 or more food stands and about 2 serving fried food, I felt the urge to get myself a fried Twinkie for the first time in years. Big mistake.

My cousin and I were both there and we had to wait on a very long line because the fried food is "oh, so popular" and people were waiting a little while to get it, as were we. I planned on getting Twinkies which they had in stock and my cousin wanted to get a funnel cake. Once we got to the front of the line, we found out that there were no more funnel cakes being served, though they were serving them at another stand. I ordered my Twinkies, got them, and proceeded to wait on another line with my cousin who wanted his funnel cake.

Once we had obtained all of the food and scarfed it down like the animals we were, we were both highly disappointed with what we got. My Twinkie was soaked in batter, while it only should have been lightly dipped, and both of our food items were fried in dirty oil so it wasn't that good tasting. We ate it regardless because of the fact that we spent our money already. As of now while we are both sitting here in the bay house like two hermits, the fried dough is laying

at the bottom of both of our stomachs.
