Spotted at the Alaska State Fair last night: a pile of about eight little pink piglets, some spotted and some striped, all extremely squinty-eyed and kinda fuzzy, with a sign saying they were born on Thursday. Cuteness OVERLOAD ( Read more... )

Elephant ears?

Sweet doughy goodness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_ears

Not a uniquely American idea, but perhaps a uniquely American name.

Oh wow they look fantastically unhealthy! Like gigantic ill-formed donuts.

The interesting thing at the AK State Fair is that the elephant ear place and the funnel cake place are literally across the aisle from each other. I think they'd each do better if they were split up, but I guess they like being head to head for customers.

What about deep-fried cheese curds? Those are the best!

Yeah, when we passed that booth, Chelsea noted with a certain amount of affectionate eye-rolling that those are your favorites.

The concept kind of grosses me out, but on second thought the concept isn't *that* different from fried mozzarella sticks.
