They are carnival food here. It’s always a bit of a show. The meat turns on the spit while the preparer uses razor sharp blades to shear it off. When you finally get up to the counter to order, you’re warmed by the rays from the infrared heater. It feels so good on a cold, sub-freezing fall day.
You can also pretend you’re getting a balanced meal since it contains veggies, meat, bread. And, when eaten correctly by peeling back the waxed paper as you go, you end up relatively clean .
It sure beats deep fried Snicker bars or fried dough – also popular treats. Gag me!
Drunks are not usually at the local festivals so I can’t speak to that. These tend to be mostly family affairs and afternoon outings. Everyone knows everyone.
