View Full Version : Why do these things taste sooooooo Good at an amusement Park but when u buy them in
TVFactFan 07-12-2006, 08:24 AM your hometown not really the case?-lol
Custard made Ice Cream
Pizza
Funnel Cake
French Fries
Soft Pretzels
All 4 of those things are EXTREMELY good if you are eating them inside Six Flags but if you are eating them in your living room its not the same-lol
BTW: Never buy Funnel Cake at the SuperMarket-LOL
Mijada 07-12-2006, 10:15 AM I agree that stuff always tastes goos at amusement parks. Have you ever had Elephant Ears? Those are my favorite snack to get at amusement parks and carnivals. They are so good but I bought one at a bakery one time and it was nasty. It's better to get them fresh right at the park.

Cotton Candy has always been nasty at an amusement park
Brian Damage 07-12-2006, 10:28 AM I don't go to many amusement parks because I HATE rides. However, in NYC, at the the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, the sausage and peppers sandwhich is out of this world. Whenever I get that sandwhich anywhere else, it is not nearly as good.
phoebe7165 07-12-2006, 12:21 PM The food in amusement parks better taste good, for the amount of money you pay for them!!!:p:D
The big turkey legs at the Disney parks is one of their most popular food items. I bet you can't get them that good tasting anywhere outside the parks.
EmoJoe 07-12-2006, 12:31 PM the pretezels you buy at the store taste almost the same to me. same for pizza and fries...
PrettyinPink55 07-12-2006, 12:33 PM Pizza always tastes good to me! Same with french fries!
It's probably the environment that can make a difference, even in how it tastes! I think it's psychological.

what are elephant ears?
Chocoholic 07-12-2006, 12:46 PM I love soft pretzels and French fries at the amusement park or ball park, but I can't stand the frozen ones from the store. They just don't taste the same.
phoebe7165 07-12-2006, 12:55 PM what are elephant ears?
I think they're a puff pastry, and they're shaped to look like elephant ears. That's what I always thought they were.

OMGoodness Brian you are so right! I always go to St. Genarros and eat the sausage and peppers and the Canollis... I never leave without a canolli.

I've never seen those at the amusement parks but I know what you're talking about. I called those the Butterflies. I always see them at the bakeries.
One thing that does not taste good outside the amusement park is the candied apples.
The candied apples in Coney Island were the best.
JNSBSB 07-12-2006, 03:52 PM Try lobsters from Maine. They only taste good if they're consumed in Maine. If you consume Maine Lobster anywhere else, it just doesn't taste the same.:(

I think it's because at the Parks they're fresh and the ones you buy in the store has been frozen for lord knows how long.
I can make some badass Funnel Cakes.
Courtnee 07-12-2006, 06:06 PM Odviously you have never had Louisiana Funnel Cake(TM) :snob:

I don;t think Funnel Cake taste good f you buy them in the supermarket in Louisiana-lol
Pitooey 07-12-2006, 09:27 PM I love Funnel cake with lots of sugar. YUM....... The best place that I go to eat funnel cake is Atlantic City. YUM..... :p :p :p
cmcb06 07-12-2006, 09:35 PM Deffinately, Cotton Candy only place I"ll eat it, is at a fair, or a carnival etc. When you buy it at a store and eat it just not the same.
AllIWantIsYourClutch 07-13-2006, 01:00 AM Funnel Cake Carnival at IHOP is like Christmas for me. it's seriously my favorite thing ever.
PrettyinPink55 07-13-2006, 01:03 AM I've never had funnel cake...
swedeace 07-13-2006, 01:07 AM Great - now I am craving funnel cake! :drool: pissed:
TVFactFan 07-13-2006, 01:08 AM I've never had funnel cake...
Well that means you haven't lived Yet-LOL
The Chauffeur 07-13-2006, 01:20 AM Great - now I am craving funnel cake! :drool: pissed:
Same here :(
PrettyinPink55 07-13-2006, 01:32 AM Same here :(
Goodness! I haven't seen you here in forever, how are you?
swedeace 07-13-2006, 01:34 AM Haha....well, at least I satisfied my sweet craving. A few minutes after I posted in this thread, my mom calls me to pick her up from work. She works at Taco Bell, and she asked if I wanted anything. I told her to bring me a carmel apple empanada. I just devoured it with a mug of cold milk.... The closest thing I got to a funnel cake...for now! :D
The Chauffeur 07-13-2006, 01:41 AM Goodness! I haven't seen you here in forever, how are you?
:lol: I am doing ok, how are you?

Oooooh I love those things :drool:
Courtnee 07-13-2006, 01:57 AM I don;t think Funnel Cake taste good f you buy them in the supermarket in Louisiana-lol
they don't sell it in the supermarket. Thats the point. Funnel Cake around here is a annual thing (unless you make it yourself) You wait for the fairs to come around and you get some there.
Courtnee 07-13-2006, 01:58 AM Same here :(
Long time, no post.
swedeace 07-13-2006, 09:05 AM Oooooh I love those things :drool:
Yeah, they are tasty. It's funny how I normally don't eat these, but I got the craving thanks to this thread talking about the funnel cake. :lol: I usually eat the funnel cakes at our State Fair in early September, so it's coming around the corner! Yay! :D
Mijada 07-13-2006, 10:17 AM what are elephant ears?
They are deep fried pastries about 10/12 inches in diameter. They are covered in melted butter, cinnemon and sugar. You can also get them with fruit on top but i prefer the cinnemon ones.
dawsongirl 07-13-2006, 02:13 PM Pizza and French Fries are good anywhere.
I wanna attempt to make my own funnel cake at home. Last carnival I was at the funnel cakes were $5. Ridiculous.
Kazza 07-13-2006, 04:56 PM Things taste better at the fair and amusement park because their frying oil is the more overused you can find .
