At New York street fairs they are given the blatant name of "Fried Dough." That Wikipedia article suggests that Fried Dough is yeast-based, but the New York version is eggy, just like a funnel cake. I've even eaten Fried Dough and Zeppole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeppole) at the same fair.
Southwestern Fry Bread is pretty damn tasty, and it wins on versatility, since it may be served either sweet or savory, but I still dream sometimes about a treat I had at the Prater amusement park in Vienna many years ago. It was like an oversized raised donut, but instead of sugar, it was coated in garlic butter. I have no idea what it was called, but it was one of the best street foods I ever ate.
