The secret ingredient in funnel cake

Today I took my family on a trip to Knoebel's Amusement Park, which, according to the Discovery Channel is rated the #2 amusement park in the country.

I don't have time right now to list why Knoebel's is so wonderful, so let me just focus on one aspect of their greatness: ....... their food. Every kind of "fair food" worth eating can be ingested at the park. One of my favorites is the funnel cake.

While eating a funnel cake early this afternoon, I began pondering what goes into the mix and why we aren't allowed to see the cakes while they're being made.

To make a long story short, I decided to do a little snooping. To my amazement I learned that funnel cakes are nothing more than deep-fried / powdered sugared brain. There you have it.

I asked the staff at Knoebel's why their funnel cakes seemed to taste better than the other parks. They replied, "We only use the brains of really smart people."

The name of this fair delicacy has many regional derivations. Itallians call it a Zeppole (zeh'-pu-lah) Portuguese call it Malasadas (mal-a-sha'-dich) I think most of the country uses funnel cake, here in "New" England we say Fried Dough (phride doh')
I do some frying about once a month (moderation, ya know) I even have one of those cool thermometers! I found a great idea I think I'll try next time I have friends over for a cookout or something, Fried Oreos. You use funnel cake batter, batter the oreos and fry'em up. Sounds very tasty, and sinful, I guess fried asparagus would be more spiritual, but it wouldn't taste as good.
