Let's talk Rodeo!
This is the last week + weekend. Also a great time to catch all the junk food you've been looking forward to.
There's couple stands of Squeezers, they have regular lemonade, cherry, spicy, and couple other flavor. Definitely quench your thirst while waiting in line for rides at the carnival.
Been eyeing folks walking around with these. This is the Tater Twisters. Basically potato sliced and spread out then fried. I asked for Garlic Parmesan flavoring, I can smell it, but can't taste it. It comes out like a very fresh potato chip. They do get popular, so line up early.
Gotta find some food in the tent and all forms of BBQ will have a long line especially during meal times.
Got a Pulled Pork Sandwich and a lemonade, since that guy has been squeezing lemonade with a machine by hand, felt like I should try one. The Lemonade wasn't too zingy or sweet, as I'd thought it'd be. Pretty mellow as far as lemonade goes.
The pulled pork was fine.
Then I saw a long line for pie... of course I had to stop. They are known for Apple, Chocolate, and pumpkin pie with either vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
Had to try the apple one, fresh out of the fryer. It has a lot of diced apple inside, and the apple sauce oozing out was delicious. The main thing is that the pie crust is nice and crispy but not to a point where it gets messy. It's tidy up with cinnamon sugar on top on every bite.
Next door to the pie place with an equally long line of a fruit stand that sell Manchetes (like a very very long taco with meat and cheese and pico).
What did I get? Aqua Fresca, they have like 8 flavors. This is an extra large and it's in a super cute container, so had to take that home.
I think Rodeo is just great, you get to eat and drink random stuff that you don't get year-round. There are quite a few that are repeat exhibitors, and I can see why. The tent for food can get intense, so if you're prepping for a concert, time yourself wisely.
