Yeah these also have coolers behind the bar, like you see in gas stations, and everyone is served out of a paper cup because broken glass and metal cans make effective weapons.

Everyone in this thread that keeps talking about funnel cakes being good, and thinks they are superior to elephant ears is dead to me. That’s my Murican opinion.

Your move, creep.



I don't know if I've ever had an elephant ear or funnel cake, but all this talk of fried bread is making me want Navajo bread. I grew up in Arizona and it was always a delicious treat with a little honey, and also great as a Navajo taco.



I haven't had it in 25 years but just looking at that makes my mouth water.

Elephant ears are also called dough boys or just the vague "fried dough" regionally


They're both good, just different.

Funnel cake gives you more surface area crispiness

I thought Elephant Ears were the Canadian fair version of funnel cakes. The provincial fair (CLE represent!) had Ears but not funnel cakes. I didn't get to try funnel cake until I was visiting my dad in the States and we went to Six Flags or something. The Elephant ears was easier to eat because you could slide it to the edge of plate to take bites until it had cooled down enough to not burn the poo poo out of you.

Beaver Tails are the Canadian version of fried dough.

Oddly enough my fair never had those, only Elephant Ears. I heard about them on the internet when I was young though, it does make sense that would be our version of it. I wonder if Beaver Tails were an east/west thing?

Re: Americana food.

Which part of America uses the terminology "pot stickers" instead of "dumplings"?

I used to have a girlfriend from Indianapolis, and when I went to the US to visit her and we went to a Chinese restaurant she had me completely baffled when she used the term, and didn't seem to know what dumplings were.

We are no longer together, for unrelated reasons.

Most dumplings in the American south are considered to be dough without any sort of filling

We have all kind of different names for dumplings depending on what’s inside of it

probably gyoza.

american chinese restaurants are a total grab bag of asian cuisines and terms, i don't think there's really anything regional about this one. you can see every one of these names (except "peking ravioli" which i have never heard of) at a place labeled as "chinese" within 10 miles of me

Potstickers are specifically gyoza that have been pan fried and then steamed to release because, well, they stick to the pot. I grew up in the deep south seeing both fried dumplings/potstickers as a label, and I still see both up here in Canada at the grocery.

Having done quite a bit of this in my youth (yes, I'm in Texas...), it is immensely fun provided that a) you don't intend to ever clean the truck you use for mudding, b)if you do intend to clean it, you don't mind lying on your back for hours with a pressure washer in all kinds of weather, and c) you own at least one other vehicle. That said, all my mudding was done while running trails, not repeatedly slamming into a giant pit until something breaks.

I showed him some Monster Truck Jam videos on the YouTube and they said "this is the world series of MONSTER TRUCK FREESTYLE!!!!" and I lolled cause aside from maybe Canada who else even does monster trucks at a competitive level?
