Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005OT Fair food
All this talk about fair food....the big specialty here is Funnel cakes. It's somekind of donut batter that they drip into a deep fryer in kind of a lumpy bumpy donut and then put powdered sugar on it. I have to say, they are awesome. >All this talk about fair food....the big specialty here is Funnel cakes. >It's somekind of donut batter that they drip into a deep fryer in kind of a >lumpy bumpy donut and then put powdered sugar on it.

Mmmmmmm. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > All this talk about fair food....the big specialty here is Funnel > cakes.

When they have fairs and carnivals down here they are a big thing with the food vendors but I'm not really into sweet stuff. Another big thing is Kettle Corn - popcorn popped with sugar (not like caramel corn, which I can handle in small doses). I never liked Kettle Corn. The HUGE thing down here is Corn Dogs (aka Pronto Pups). I'm must say I love Corn Dogs! Hot dogs on a stick dipped in a cornmeal batter, deep fried. (I understand in some places they use a pancake batter.) Definitely not health food. They also serve fried turkey legs. A friend of mine likened it to eating like one of the Flintstones - walking around gnawing meat off this huge drumstick. LOL I've only used them for smoking and cooking with. But with a nod to Theresa, more frequently I'm seeing "Italian Beef" with peppers on hoagie buns. Of course I see most of these food vendors at the art shows with John since I haven't been to a Fair in years. Jill >> All this talk about fair food....the big specialty here is Funnel >> cakes.

I like www.woodenknife.com best best best! Actually, I like it with just some honey. Every once in a while I buy a box to indulge myself. This is different than other recipes you see because it has timpsula (prairie turnip flour) in it and it does make a big difference. You can see an Indian taco here: http://www.woodenknife.com/history.asp. DEEEEE licious. >>> popcorn. Another biggy is Indian Tacos.

Or to explain Indian Tacos another way, next to them, everything else is health food. They are soooo good. Jo > The are tacos made on top of Indian bread, which is a puffy fried bread. I Thank you for the explanation. Now I understand. Diane >>> All this talk about fair food....the big specialty here is Funnel >>> cakes.

It's basically made as you describe, with a batter that becomes crisp. Rather than dust it with sugar, though, they soak it in honey or rosewater, and let it cool. It looks like a translucent, bright orange pretzel. |
