[@suemichaelsen8486]

Thank you all

[@suzywernet5312]

Oh my gosh I’ve got to learn how to make the falafel waffle so if you figure it out, please do a video on it! Loved your video! 💕

[@pbwithjeremy]

Will do!!

[@nicolelynn9027]

I love that your carnival/fair has healthy options. ❤❤

[@pda2836]

Oh my gosh, such a fun video! Your kids' enthusiasm is contagious :) Fair food helps you remember why you cleaned up your food choices in the first place, like poor Ephraim's belly. Hope he felt better quickly!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

I just asked him - he said he can still feel it sitting in his stomach (he's kidding) and he can taste it (that might be true)

[@emiliejoshi]

Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along with you and your family to the CNE!! I want a Fawaffle! You guys are the best!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Aww thanks! We might try to make some....

[@emp2291]

That was fun! Remember guys: rides first, then food! 😀

[@pbwithjeremy]

My daughter insisted 😣

[@Fclwilson]

Thanks for sharing Canadian culture. Fun vlog.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mmschwartz84]

This reminds me so much of the Minnesota State Fair, which is always full of so many unique and weird foods to try! Truly an experience!

[@pbwithjeremy]

What are some of the more unique ones that you've come across??

[@terriovergaard5108]

@mmshwartz I was going to say the same. Reminds me of the Minnesota State Fair. I grew up going 2-3 times every year. Then my kids got to grow up going. So many great memories with family and friends. We moved to Virginia and have only been there a few times since, when visiting other family. Sorry about the sentence structure. 💕🕊💕

Lol you make my heart so happy X I live in England now but we emigrated to Canada in 1966 from England and I returned to England in 1973 I went to school in Downsview primary Beverly heights junior high and Downsview secondary schools X but met my husband of 47yrs on a visit to the UK and been here since X I remember the CNE and we never missed getting a Bazooka bag hhhaaha X rides first then food halls what memories you've brought to my mind X thankyou and thanks for all the book recipe trials you've saved me a fortune thankyou ❤

[@pbwithjeremy]

Our pleasure! WHAT IS A BAZOOKA BAG?!?! Happy to have helped you!!!

[@pearlybobs3453]

Gum free in a bag lol all the kids got them in a paper sack free lolol never went home without one each 😂❤ I love your videos great feedback on your recipes and I am 8 yrs vegan at Christmas so absolutely brilliant content well done👍🌻🍁

[@vi3472]

This was fun! The ice cream cone looked so good. Ice cream has always been my favorite dessert. Now, I am hooked on my homemade daily nice cream. Some of the small towns in Rockland County, NY. have "street fairs"with live music and the restaurants and stores sell food and other goods outside. There are also carnivals in Rockland and Dutchess Counties. I've enjoyed kettle corn and fried pickles (yum!). Not too much for vegans to eat at these places. I like looking at all the stuff the vendors sell. The grandkids go on the kiddie rides and bouncy houses (so cute!). Thanks for sharing your fun day! 😀

[@natalielebert1631]

Pure joy! I loved every minute!

[@pbwithjeremy]

AWww - thanks!

[@IsidoraSage]

Candy apples still remain one of my favorite fair foods. We used to go to the Ellijay apple festival in Ga. but haven't been since I went plant based 2 years ago.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Those things are jaw breakers!!! Mmmm apple fest. Apple Butter, am I right?!

[@IsidoraSage]

@@pbwithjeremy yes, apple butter, apple jelly, apple fritters (definitely not plant based) fried apples, music, games and lots of handcrafts to buy.

[@jill1452]

Yes please review Il Fornello!!! And great video thanks!!!

Thanks!

🤣🤣🤣 Aww you guys are so lovely! Wish I could go to something like this in my country with vegan options.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Maybe one day! Where do you live again???

I just had so much fun with you and your family! I'm going to make my kids watch it with me so they can have fun too! 😆😆

[@pbwithjeremy]

Aww - let me know what your kids think!

That was a fun video! What stall did you get your falafel plate with veggies and potatoes? I'm going this weekend!

[@pbwithjeremy]

It beside that place that has the 99 cent tacos. I wish I would have gotten a shot of the exterior. Sorry!

[@esragodot]

Thank you very much, it's really fun to watch you! What a lovely family! I recently discovered your channel and I find your recipes inspiring too, I will try the granola bars soon. I'm wfpb for almost 7 years. Greetings from Berlin 👋🏾

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you so much! Let me know what you think of the bars! We're mostly WFPB but then we have days like this...

[@esragodot]

​@@pbwithjeremyToday I baked the granola bars, I didn't have enough maple syrup left and therefore I replaced part of it with a ripe banana. They turned out delicious!

[@IAmSherry12]

I've never heard of apple fries but now I want to know more!

[@pbwithjeremy]

You could probably make them in an air fryer - make a little cinnamon-sugar mix :)

[@ruthhorndasch5244]

So much food 😂😂so much fun 🤩

[@pbwithjeremy]

We filled ourselves! Thanks for watching :)

[@lovedogs1343]

Hi, Jeremy, ONE COMPLAINT with this video, it’s TOO SHORT, LOL 😂. When you all go on vacation or festivals, et cetera, I really like you all tasting everything and commenting on unhealthy foods. Keep going on your great channel!!!!!!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

That's a GREAT complaint :) hehe - noted!

[@tabitharussell5567]

Thank you for sharing your day with all of us! Your family is the sweetest. I need a fawaffle now.

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's so good! And thank you!

[@brendabathurst6921]

You guys are awesome, thanks for the trip to the CNE.. does your family attend the Toronto veg festival? Hope so , and maybe u could video it also. Thanks 👍

[@pbwithjeremy]

Do you mean Vegandale? We went last year and were a bit unimpressed. I think there's another Veg Fest next weekend, but sadly we're already booked up that weekend.

[@brendabathurst6921]

@@pbwithjeremy ..it’s to TOveg fest.. Toronto biggest vegan food fest , at Nathan Philip Square September 9,10 and11. A group of us use to go many years in a row. Great food great speakers.. a fabulous weekend. It’s free admission.. check it out if u get a chance. Our group of friends drove 4 hours to enjoy the weekend, we got hotel rooms and had a blast

[@Laineyslife]

So fun!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks!

[@brandi_guarino]

I LOVED Clearly Canadian when I was a teenager, I haven't had one in decades. I haven't seen them in stores, not sure if it's harder to find now just in Florida or the US in general.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Even in Canada I don't see them that often - now it's basically a CNE tradition for us :)

[@Janet.D.C.]

Fun video! Is the CNE in Toronto every year? My friend just went to the Minnesota State Fair 🎡 and said they had vegan options. Healthy, not really, but vegan! Yes, please, review the Vegan Italian restaurant! I hear Toronto has a great vegan food scene. It would be fun to get a glimpse. 😀

[@pbwithjeremy]

Yup - it's here every year. Toronto does - I should do a video about it at some point - thanks for asking!!!

[@jenih8274]

Great fun! Thanks guys 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@liamage8andmom141]

Looks like fun!! ❤

[@pbwithjeremy]

It was!

[@ezbh810]

That’s cool. It looks like a state fair in the US. The too biggest festivals here are the Florida State Fair and the Strawberry Festival. But there’s nothing healthy there it’s all fried things. Like the donut burger (burger but with a donut as a bun), fried Oreos, fried Twinkie’ etc. I never tried any of the specialty fried stuff. But at the strawberry festival, the strawberry shortcake is amazing, it’s not vegan but is vegetarian.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Mmmmmm a Strawberry festival sounds heavenly. Yeah - most of these kinds of things are grease affairs - so I'm glad CNE has some healthy options

[@blondelightning6200]

lol, why did everyone love the potatoes? What did it taste like? I haven't been to the CNE for a few years now... I miss it!

[@pbwithjeremy]

A good french fry is a good french fry! :)

[@cinabear9622]

I've been drinking Clearly Canadian for years! I don't live in Canada but I'd like to at least visit sometime. That thing in the waffle cone looked amazing. Our county and state fairs are all starting but we have little to no vegan options really...very sad. Great video, love your family!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you! Maybe check an see if this year it's different?

@@pbwithjeremyMy first summer job was at shopsy’s in the food building. I’m dating myself. Lol. Very fond memories of lolas and ice cream waffles and crappy $1 pasta (which I loved 😅). Not to mention Foods of the World.

[@pbwithjeremy]

haha - it's now $1.99 pasta - and also a larger portion - which one of us may have gotten....

[@cogalog]

10 dollars did u say for candy floss!! I must have heard wrong. The waffle taco thing looked nice maybe you could make it for us? The vegan sushi looked yum.14 dollars for a giant ice-cream is that an exhibition price point or the average Canadian price that is soooo experience. Canada seems to have a great offering of vegan/plant based food, well Toronto anyways. Rural Ireland is about ten years behind in vegan/plant based food offerings (Dublin/Cork/Galway maybe better). When I first came across your show I thought the PB in the title stood for peanut butter with Jeremy 😊 thanks for the show guys

[@pbwithjeremy]

No you heard right - $10. These are carnival prices - and they're a little insane. Toronto is expensive but not THAT expensive normally. We are lucky to have the offerings we do!

[@PeiPeisMom]

That looks like a total blast! Sometimes we go to the California State Fair since it's in our city, and we always get Pink Popcorn which is basically a sweet brick of popcorn colored pink. My husband must have a churro even though we usually can't find a vegan one. Every year there are more and more vegan options, though not as many as I see you have there in Toronto

[@pbwithjeremy]

Mmmm churros - yeah, it's pretty impressive how many options - sad other things like this around the world aren't similar :(

[@kathystoner5239]

I used to love the fresh squeezed lemonade! I wish there were vegan and gluten free options.

[@pbwithjeremy]

My wife is both vegan and gluten free - there's lots of options!

Boy, does this take me back!! I had to do some math ..... 66 years ago I was 8 and my paternal Gram & Gramp took me to the CNE.

[@NAF7407]

Wait, is your wife plant-based/vegan now (I recall you saying she was vegetarian when you met her)? There was reference to her not being able to eat the spring roll... and I'm guessing that's not because of gluten.

[@pbwithjeremy]

She's Plant-Based and GF due to sensitivities. The spring roll was because of gluten.

[@wyldlibrarian3549]

awesome to see what is so unique about CNE and the variety of foods available. Not a big fan of seeing ppl talk with their mouths full.

[@2_smalltown_vegans]

Love your channel. Love your content. Love your family. Maybe let them finish their mouthful, before asking them to speak? I know you have said you don't "police your kids"....... but mouths full of food while speaking can turn people off. Sorry. Again, I love this channel and all you're doing....... except that. 😘

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for this. We are getting better, it's more I have to find a balance between seeing their instant reaction - which is sometimes the gold in our videos :) But we do try to get everyone to finish swallowing before talking in any detail. Appreciate this!

[@johnmallaney290]

This video really disappointed me. I was sure that time I made my falafel in a waffle iron that I'd come up with something none of the billions of people on this planet had ever thought of before.`Corndogs have always been my favorite fair food. I don't tend to seek out vegan versions of them though--I have a weird pet peeve about vegan food trying to imitate animal food. Falafel gives me the things I like in a corndog without trying to pretend to be something it isn't. I've still never come up with a pizza replacement that fully satisfies. I've no interest in vegan cheese, but want some kind of topping over a sauce that browns a little without pretending to be gooey cheese. I tried a falafel mix once, but it didn't quite get there, but I wonder if maybe I just couldn't figure out how to make it work.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I want to play with a falafel cone myself - I think it's really just the consistency of the battery and getting that right. We eat fairly little faux-meats - my wife and daughter don't care for it at all - every now and then for myself, but I don't really get anything from it other than a small flavour burst for the moment, but I'm generally happy with our WFPB food. Keep at your recipe - you'll figure it out!
