So a few weeks ago we went to the Greek Festival to enjoy the culture, i.e. the food. And last weekend, we went to the Festival in the Park to enjoy the art, i.e. the food.

My sister has a friend who used to go to the food booth at fairs and say, "Do you have elephant ears?" And when the person would say yes, she'd say, "Well just wear a big hat and no one will notice."

Elephant Ears = Fried dough (more flexible)
Funnel Cakes = Fried batter (more runny)
answer this question all the time
