You're doing it wrong. 75% of going to a carnival/fun fair/etc is the food. And what's "tinned hotdog sandwiches" ? (I'm afraid to ask) [EDIT] - Nevermind. I see the pics above. Sorry, not ever eating hot dogs out of a can. Never. Uh uh. Not gonna happen. Is the fair food in the US expensive? How much would a hot dog cost?
Over here you're looking at about $5 for a hot dog, and $4 for candy floss or ice cream.
You get used to crap like tinned hot dogs when you're British and from my generation. Nowhere sold hot dogs when I was a kid and if you wanted them, they came in a can.
That's like Canadian milk in a bag.... c'mon! |

That's like Canadian milk in a bag.... c'mon! Some of our coffee shops have started using milk in a bag. They put it in a jug, then snip the corner and pour. I guess it must be for the tea drinkers like myself. All these modern coffees seem to be made with frothy milk... |

Oh, it's not cheap. Between the food, parking, rides/games, and admission it really adds up but if I'm going to a fair then I plan for that. The food is part of the fun for me. I rarely go to fairs anymore though

Anyone have any tips for adding mustard to oxtail soup? So you won't eat a cucumber, but you'll slice the tail off a big hairy animal, boil it in water, then slurp down the broth? I'm wanting to be speechless, but this is too funny.  Also, yes. Guldens, Dijon, or a horseradish mustard would do well. |

I'm trying to get the mustard to dissolve in the soup but so far had no luck. I've tried:-
1. Normal mustard; 2. Powdered mustard, both as powder and reconstituted; 3. Heating/stirring the soup with mustard in a saucepan.
It just seems to separate into small globules.

I'm sure this won't come as any surprise but no, I just open a can and pour it into a saucepan. Then warm gently. My wife, however, makes a delicious broth from oxtail, potatoes and pak choi cabbage.
Is oxtail not widely eaten in USA? Is it like the kidney thing? To be honest, oxtail and entrail consumption is on the decline over here. I expect the scientists will be creating cows without organs and tails next...

AFAIK oxtail is nonexistent in New England. Maybe those weirdos in Maine eat it  |
