Funnel Cakes or Elephant Ears: Which is Better?

[golfunfiltered]

I posed this question on Twitter last night and could not BELIEVE the number of people who didn't know what these pastries were. Both are staples at carnivals and fairs in the Midwest... but so is crime and corruption. I digress.

Elephant ears = https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/cinnamon-elephant-ears-recipe-1923543

Which do you prefer?

Both are delicious, both hurt my stomach after eating.

I dislike funnel cakes as a general rule. So I'll go Elephant ears just to vote against them.

Funnel cakes are a staple around here. I have never heard or seen Elephant ears.

I like funnel cakes, but I've never heard of elephant ears.

I had typed that I loved funnel cakes, but I'm not willing to pay to get into a fair just to pay for a funnel cake, so I changed it to like.

Never heard of elephant ears, wonder if they are similar to the original “Beaver Tails” we have in Canada. Original is deep friend dough covered with cinnamon...quite delicious.

Beaver Tails with Nutella are delicious.

I went elephant ears. Better cake to fried outside ratio to me. But they are both awesome, and now I want both.
