Elephant Ears at Indy

At the convention showroom, there are a couple of food booths.   One of them has this big sign advertising Elephant Ears.   Those of us from the west have never heard of such a thing, so we got to try it.

The ingredients seem to be about the same as funnel cakes, flour, fat, loads of sugar and cinnamon deep fried.  The difference is that funnel cake is fried from runny batter so it's airy and light while the elephant ears is a deep fried solid dough, so it's dense and heavy.  Other than the texture, the taste is about the same.
