This what a Funnel Cake looks like. It's name comes from the fact that it is batter dropped into hot oil from a funnel, which is moved quickly over the oil, forming a dense circle of ribbons of deep-fried dough. They even make a Red Velvet Funnel Cake with a Cream Cheese Glaze.
Fairground food is fascinating - I am still trying to figure our Haystack onion strings!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh. My tummy hurts just reading this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful post with all the food pictures. Nothing like fair food for its decadence and empty calories. But I do sorta like the corn dogs; haven't had one in years. Do you know, I found out the other day there's an upcoming event in a town near me called "The Grease Festival." A food fair where nothing is sold unless it's fried. What a hoot. I may have to go check it out!!
ReplyDeleteSome of that stuff just makes my stomach hurt. I want a corn dog and funnel cake and that's it. All that fried stuff, ick!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia - I was surprised how many people just went for the unusual food. But where else do you even get cotton candy. (Is it called candy floss, too?)
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley - Imagine how bad it would feel if you ate all of it!
ReplyDeleteI am so hoping you go to The Grease Festival and write about it - with pictures!
ReplyDeleteHi Carla - Do you watch the Channel 2 news? Leanne tried to eat a chocolate dipped corn dog and couldn't do it. She loves plain corn dogs.
