The only thing so far that Murica does significantly better is beef. The steaks in the US are much better. A case could be made for beer, but when you work in the cost, America starts to lose its significant lead. Especially at the state fair. I got half a liter of a good dunkel for €4 ($4.72).
The food at the fair is just starting to get gross. Everything is deep far fried. Here there was tons of rotisserie meats, strudels, various burgers, tons of other desserts. All very reasonably priced. Nothing more than €6-€7.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?
Our agent booked a night at the Sheraton for us. I'm ok with that. Amsterdam is a great city. Been here a few times as well.
Our flight from Munich had about 10-11 people heading to MSP that missed. All of the flights sold out almost immediately. We're here until 1 pm tomorrow.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

For price, I expect to pay more at the fair, just like I do at a ballgame. And beer, the US is way ahead of Germany, IMO. Because my 2 favorite styles of beer, by far, IPAs and Imperial Stouts, are virtually not existent in Germany. A hefe? A dunkel? Blah. They're not bad, but I can just have one every once in a while and then I need to go back to something with more flavor. And then you get into Helles lagers, and pils, which I think taste like skunk ****, even the good ones. Give me American beers (with the IPA revolution and big stouts) and Belgian beers (mmmmmm), and I'll be happy.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

Originally posted by bigblue_dl View PostMost of the best new foods at the fair lately have been the ethnic foods and are not deep fried. They have really been excellent lately, you just need to know which places to go. The fair has done a pretty good job of diversifying the types of foods available, and that has been a very positive development.

Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?
Europe and the US are opposite in food. In the US you go to the cities for great food while, other than BBQ, rural American food is trash. In Europe, the rustic cuisine is wonderful and the city food is forgettable (Western Europe) or undigestable (Central Europe).Cornell University
