Happy New Year!

A shot of the hustle and bustle at the Indiana State Fair on a balmy summer evening. See the word ‘elephant’ on the right side of the picture? That’s part of a sign that says ‘Elephant Ears’. Before moving to Indiana I had never heard such a term before. Yes, out east we do have proper fairgrounds with proper fried dough. But we call them doughboys or fried dough. Not elephant ears. According to Wikipedia we have the Canadians to thank for this atrocity. I guess ‘elephant ear’ is better than ‘beaver tail’. That does not sound appetizing in the least.
