Sticker Shock

A few years ago I was traveling to the Midwest to see my Son and his family.

I had a slow start on the morning I had left, so I hadn’t eaten any breakfast. That was ok because I don’t really feel hungry until I’m awake. I figured I’d get something to eat at the airport. Once I got to the airport I  still wasn’t hungry and by the time I was on the plane and in the air I remembered I hadn’t ordered a meal so all I had to eat was a pack of cookies ( they’re actually pretty good ) and some pretzels.

Ugh. Not very appetizing.

So by the time I landed and got my baggage and met my son in the pickup loop I was STARVING.

I didn’t care where we stopped for a meal, I didn’t care how much it cost. I was so hungry!

We stopped for lunch and the tab was around  $30.00 (US)  for the both of us.

I couldn’t believe it cost that much.

WOW, you might be thinking, Anita must be a massive cheapskate if she thinks $30.00 is an expensive meal!

I do actually because my son and I  stopped at a McDonalds and I am sorry but that is an expensive meal given that we stopped at a fast food burger joint.

On the other hand, even though I will always feel it was over priced, I have to admit-

IT WAS DELICIOUS.

Let’s Go To The Fair!

WP Prompters have been watching the Food Network. Ha. Today’s prompt asks: What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?

If you have ever had the pleasure of eating ” Fair Food ” and I am talking about the Fair Food that you get outside of Seattle because I don’t consider what I’ve had at Folk Life, or Bumpershoot or the Bite of Seattle as legit Fair Food. Seriously. They have killed the fun here when it comes to Fair Food,  leaving me to go elsewhere for artery challenging food and it’s worth it.

So based on my learned taste buds, I am here to give you some Fair Food tips- in case you want an alternative to the ” Seattle Experience ” in your quest for Fair Food in your own special corner of the world.

Rule of thumb if  you are in search of food that is good for you,  it doesn’t belong in a place you are going to where it’s possible that the rides will cause you to spew everything  you’ve eaten in the past 48 hours or the smell of Porta- Potties that have been baking poop and pee in the hot summer Sun ( those things are never in the shade)  will cleanse your innards of anything you have ever eaten or smelled in your entire life.

Also, why are you still reading this post? I thought the Donut Burger would have scared off the weak of stomachs by now.

No Joke. This is a Twinkie smothered with Caviar. It costs $125.00- I’ve never had one, but I am open to the experience. ( Photographer Unknown )

Next thing to remember.

You will always pay too much for Fair Food, but if you want to give your taste buds and your tummy the ride of a life time- partake.

It’s worth every dollar- and you will spend quite a few of them so enjoy!
