This triggered a lengthy discussion on the differences between funnel cake and elephant ears in our house last night.

 

[Krakosky]

They're different?

 

[Supe]

Funnel cakes aren't endangered.

i always thought elephant ears were a more solid form of the same batter...thickened and rolled out to be soild and the funnel cake it is poured through a funnel to make it lighter and airy.

Just had a funnel cake.

I love funnel cakes

Is that something from the urban dictionary?

As I scrolled down the page, I was half-expecting someone (csb) to post a photo of a blue funnel cake (as a proxy for blue waffle).

I like I'm scared of ...the way you think

This is correct... when the batter for an elephant ear hits the oil it's supposed to curl up a little and look like it's name sake... funnel cake batter is a long string of batter that was poured into a fryer through the funnel...

 

[csb]

I do love funnel cake.

Not funnel clouds.

must have been a mild summer down south, not hearing many complaints in this thread...

but ahh..winter is coming...

 

[Supe]

We've received an unusual amount of rain and high humidity, but the "bad" summer heat came on late and was reasonably short in duration. I have a feeling we're in for a (relatively) bad winter.

 

[snickerd3]

the 100 summer heat arrived this spring then nada in the summer other than rain rain rain
