Funnel cake
A cake through which eggs, flour, sugar, motor oil, gasoline, melted butter, and other automotive products have been filtered by use of a funnel in a gentle spiral motion, onto a hot, well-greased cast iron skillet; engine manifold; holstein cow in suit of armor; or fair queen's chastity belt.
Since these are all items commonly found at state fairs or amusement parks, the production and purchase of funnel cakes is also most common at fairs.
Finally, the cake is thrown away, and the hot finished product is scraped off the scalding surface and typically brushed with powdered sugar before being sold under the false moniker, "funnel cake." However, other white powdered substances are occasionally substituted. (The Logan County Fair 'Caine Riots of 1986 are believed to be the result of one such substitution--cocaine, this time instead of powered sugar.) More typically, a combination of non-dairy coffee creamer and ground pigeon droppings are used when fairs are stricken by tragic powdered sugar shortages.
It is commonly known that Funnel Cake is the food of the Gods. Zeus used to eat Ambrosia and Nectar, then he discovered funnel cake and never touched the former again. Funnel cake was just too good in comparison.
History of the Funnel Cake[edit]
The history of the funnel cake is widely-disputed--and therefore very interesting. For instance, archaeologists tell us that the ancient Incas used funnel cakes as both a form of currency AND a flotation device for their mom
The funnel cake rose in popularity in America after the famous "Tin Man brain leak" scene in the film version of "The Wizard of Oz."
Dudley Moore was fond of funnel cake, as was Tara Reid in her wild years of retirement - she often did it with cocaine on top, as opposed to powdered sugar.
