Ninth Avenue Food Festival: Yikes!

Date: May 17, 2010 03:37AM Well, it's that time again- streets blocked off in the city for the annual bacchanal that is the New York City Food Festival. Just around the corner from me on 9th Avenue are tons and tons of junky fried and battered food items, with even more people drinking and gobbling it all up. It never fails to astound me-- I mean just the number of people that flood these events- thousands!
Truthfully, I am both attracted to, and disgusted by, the smells. I don't understand it, but even though I hate the sweaty smell of fried meat wafting into my apartment, there are other smells that sort of tug at me. Maybe it's a memory thing... Re: Ninth Avenue Food Festival: Yikes!

Date: May 17, 2010 03:47AM Smell evokes the strongest memories and emotions out of me, so I'm with you on that. The way Dunkin' Donuts or fried foods smell all make me think about how good they taste and who I enjoyed eating them with, but the health problems those people are enjoying are so not worth having some myself. I can't believe I used to eat things like fried vegan cheesecake... so far from real food and so disgusting for my body. I think smell might be my favorite sense for that reason though, I can smell chicken Ramen and be brought back to my grandma's living room in 1995, how awesome! Re: Ninth Avenue Food Festival: Yikes!

Date: May 17, 2010 10:39PM Lots of Chinese Kosher Vegetarian restaurants in my city seem to think that to appeal to omnivores they must deep fry EVERYTHING. It's disgusting. I'm grossed out I ate those things, fried food is disgusting. It's not really food. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
