Better keep them in a pot because those frickers will take over a garden bed and they are hard to kill, at least that’s my teenage experience.

Nobody can make a funnel cake like those unwashed carnies.

I think an elephant ear is the same as a cinnamon shoe sole?

WTF is this funnel cake crap and when did that start? Sounds like something a carpet-bagger would come up with.
Spoken like a true yankee. Shreveport? checks out.

Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport had funnel cakes. Elephant ears must be the ark-la-miss version of the ark-la-Tex funnel cake.

grew up on elephant ears at the ark-la-miss fair and as far as I'm concerned that's the only deep fried fat for me.
them Mormons could cook em. People that never had them there will say funnel cake. But it ain’t close for me, and I like funnel cakes

First time I’ve ever heard of this in 40 years on earth.
I know in Monroe they were made in a tent at the fair and sold by the Later Day Saints Church.

We had another name for it but now call it fry bread. I love funnel cakes but can't eat a whole one by myself anymore.

I think they are more like puff pastry fried in oil and sugar sprinkled on. Pretty good as are funnel cakes

Elephant ear for me, but to be fair I don't believe I've ever had a funnel cake and I grew up eating elephant ears every year at the Kittitas County Fair. Hell, haven't had an elephant ear in a long time and now I kinda want one. Might have to check out this years fair, though last I heard prices had gotten ridiculous and that was at least a couple years ago, doubt it'll be any better this year.

Sorry, I thought I remembered from back in the day that "CAD" in your name was Caddo Parish. Apologies if you are from somewhere south of there (and thus not a yankee).
