How much do you eat at parks?

I barely eat at parks, and if I do, its usually something I already know like if a park has a Subway or something. I just usually drink lots of water. In my old age, I find that I can't take rides as well as I used too(need to start taking motion sickness stuff), though we think I am having stomach problems cause I seem to be nausious alot of the time now anyhow, but usually I just try and drink water all day.

I try not to eat any of the greasy, carby stuff at amusement parks any more.

Et tu 'Tuan? I was hoping that this Atkins/Carb stuff was a load of hogwash that, along with reality TV, would simply blow over in time. But if *you* are a subscriber.....I must abandon all hope ;)

As for park eating, I eat what I want when I want it. Usually that amounts to a quick snack of fries/pretzels/chicken nuggets/corn dog/etc., an entire meal later in the day, and something sweet like cotton candy/funnel cakes/kettle corn/etc. as a nightcap.

There are only two things, as park fare goes, that I just cant get into. The first is the enthusiast revered cheese-on-a-stick. I'm all for putting foods on stick (see the aforementioned corndogs) but perhaps because I ate too many cheese sticks in high school, I just feel that ChOaSt would leave me more, how shall I say, *backed up* than I'd like to be in a park.

And the other is those God-forsaken turkey legs. I love eating turkey legs at home, but watching sweaty slovenly people eating these legs Barbarian-style with the grease, gristle, and fat running down their arms and over their shirts, making their mouths look like they've had a fresh over-abundant application of Vaseline.....jeez, I get queasy just thinking about it. The irony here is that "Baby T" absolutely loves these things, them being a link to some of her childhood park memories. Fortunately, we've not run across any t-leg vendors in our park visits together.

--who prefers to eat in sitdown park restaurants precisely *because* the above two items are rarely served there :)

haha, there are a couple reasons for that.

First, unlike you, my 32 inch waist does not come naturally. I have to run 4.5 miles every other day and hit the gym atleast 4 times a week. Second, its all about low carb diets in SF. Everyone here is on some kind of diet or what not. So I have slowly blended in to become one of "them." Who'd have thunk that Atkins would single handedly cause the demise of Krispy Kreme. The horror!

Don't worry, the Midwest is more than making up for California's abandonmnet of the Krispy Kreme empire.
