State fair season is here, and while the animals and amusement park rides command a healthy dose of attention, most people still get the most excited about the food.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Roasted corn, polish sausages and brisket sandwiches are all on par as "normal" foods. But the ones that tend to get the most attention and interest are the ones that are fried or on a stick.

Don't know if this counts but I'll put it out there.
In the mid 70's, went to a family reunion in Iowa. The county fair was going on so spent some time there. Went to the concession stand to get something to eat. They had hot dogs and loose meat sandwiches. Never much cared for hot dogs but was too afraid to ask what a loose meat sandwich was. After we got back to the house I found out it was a sloppy joe and here I had forced down a hot dog! I love sloppy joes! The sloppy joes weren't out of a can either... it was home made.

Deka,
I am no expert, but my understanding is that "Loose Meat" only resembles Soppy Joes in that it is ground meat. It has no sweet tomato or ketchup sauce like I grew up with. Just fried ground beef with onion and the fried loose results are heaped on a bun with mustard.
I know this only based on a segment on the Food or Travel Channel and not direct experience. It looked really good and I can imagine the smell. I can see absolutely no reason why if you used good quality meat that it wouldn't be great. I just never think about trying to make them. I guess there is even a chain in Iowa that serves almost exclusively "loose meat" sandwiches.
Anyone know any more about these?

Leo:
You have to realize that from a young Montana girls point of view, loose meat could be anything! Now sloppy joes, that had a defining taste and understanding.
Nothing wrong with loose meat sandwiches, it's just the term that has one wondering what is in the loose meat! 'smiles'

Deka,
I guess that the term "loose meat" could engender a number visual images. Rather than get myself into trouble, or at least an akward situation, I should avoid getting too clever.
Good to hear from you. I have been keeping an eye on your writing and enjoying it. I noticed your "swimming tire" article go a lot of attention and great comments. Good on you. Did your mom get to read it? I still have your off-line note to respond to. Hope the rocks in your rock garden are growing. Leo.

(Blushing) Leo I didn't know you were still following me.
Thank you for the compliment on the swimming pool story. Mom hasn't seen it yet. I need to send it to her. She is not very gifted on the computer.
Where I grew up rocky mountain oysters, brains, sweet breads, kidney and tripe were just a mention, not something to be excited about. The term loose meat could have meant anything! It could have been ????? for all I know. LOL
And my off line note will be answered when?
The rocks are growing as well as can be expected considering the (employment) climate. Can't buy what I can't afford. ;-{

Love Funnel Cakes! And you have not had a decadent desert until you have tried a deep fried snickers bar. Ah, the time of year to double the lipator and hang out with people who know CPR.......
