An Informal Debate Staged by My Inner Voice

[constance]

Proposed (while driving to lunch): God, wouldn't it be great if there were a fast food restaurant that sold funnel cakes?

Pro: HELL YEAH.

Con: Yeah, fat girl, like you need more fried food and sugar in your life.

Pro: HELL YEAH.

Con: You are the reason why the world laughs at the American diet, you know.

Pro: HELL YEAH.

Con: *abandons argument in sheer disgust*

Pro: ROCK ON I AM THE GREATEST DEBATER IN THE WORLD. SONIC GET ON THAT OKAY.

Oh, let them laugh--we didn't invent the deep-fried Mars Bar. I don't think we did, anyway.

FUNNEL CAKE IS YUM

Thank Jesus for Wikipedia twice over because it has just explained to me what exactly is a funnel cake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_cake). Ha! I definitely know the Finnish variant.

Now I'm craving funnel cakes. Darn you!

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.
