It's moments like this when I'm reminded of the variety (and sometimes oddity) of conveniences we have in the city. You see...for here in Philly, one can get funnel cake from any chinese food spot, which practically means you can get it everywhere in the city. In other words: funnel cake is available 7 days a week and accessible as late as 2-3:am. Wow…I notice that most seem to have to wait for a fair/carnival to enjoy funnel cake.

I made them yesterday. And they were so gross I had to promise to never make them again! Seldom do I experience such a flop. To date I have never had complains about anything remotely sweet. So I really must have done something wrong. No fear, we are better off without all the sweets and fat... But it was fun to try anyway! Just to update you. I made them yesterday.

I grew up eating them at the fairs in PA and love em. I get so disappointed when I go to the fairs and carnivals in New England because all they have is this fried dough stuff. It doesn't even come close to funnel cake. I'll have to make some of my own this weekend! Oh how I miss funnel cake! I grew up eating them at the fairs in PA and love em.

They seem to be all the rage here since it is fair time. I am assuming they are called "funnel cakes" because you use a funnel? I always assumed it was because maybe they looked like a funnel. Yes, I am blonde! Congrats on the little one! Stephanie@inpsired I have never had a funnel cake…there, I said it! They seem to be all the rage here since it is fair time.

Never ate so much apple sauce in my life. And my inlaws eat the stuff too, so it is not just the fact that I have kids....

We brought him in for observation and kept him and fed him for a few days, then let him go. Jen,

And that cannot be that easy considering how delicate you look and how huge I am... Funny, I remember eating these as a kid, growing up in Canada. Now I am in Germany and I have never had any here... but like a commentor above, I always associated those things to being German... Go figure. Bet my kids would love it, though, if I made them here for them! Thanks for the trip and the reminder! You know, you have just tossed me down memory lane.
