GrandmaLKB Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Originally posted by dmilner Congratulations!!! O.K. what is funnel cake? Never mind, I googled it and first ingredient was 8 cups vegetable oil...so I won't be making any soon. I'll have to get to one of your lovely county fairs!!!!! Donna Oooooh, they are so good - dusted with confectioner's sugar when they come out of the hot oil...........it's like donut batter drizzled through a funnel (hence the name) into hot oil and fried. They can be the size of a dinner plate..........a ONCE A YEAR treat............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Fried butter on a stick! Tastes like French Toast. I guess it's all in the batter! Congratulations on the ribbon! Yes, I agree, I love to see quilts hanging, especially when at least one is mine! Bonnie, Wall Candy??? I'd WEAR it! Show it off---you earned it!

fabric007 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 congrats on the quilts fried butter on a stick is a new Iowa thing ....they dip it in some batter with cinnamon..it isnt a full stick..then after it is cooked they drizzel frosting on it... something like that, I was watching it on tv... funnel cakes are a batter deep fried and I think it is put in sugar and cinnamon...pretty close to that I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elita@BusyNeedleQuilting Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Way to go Linda!! I think that quilt hanger's choice is fabulous! Perhaps he could be a judge next year... We have something similar to funnel cakes here at our festivals, called Churros. Same principle but they make them into log shapes instead. Good for me to have occasionally so I don't miss the SC State Fair so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Well done for winning your ribbons. It is a fine accomplishment. As for the funnel cake and fried butter on sticks, it all sounds alien to me, but if they are like donuts only flat, then I think I would like the funnel cake, not sure about fried butter though!!!

Busy Quilting Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Congratulations. Its always great t see our own quilts hanging at venues for everyone to see. Funnel cakes, Wonder Bar, Corn Dog, Churros..... Oh I lead a sheltered life....Never tasted any of them. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswings Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Congratulations Linda on your ribbons. That is awesome. As for the fried butter on a stick....not so much:D:D:D. I do, however love funnel cakes;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnieland Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Congrats on your wins, Linda! We aren't going to the fair this year due to some other commitments, but oh, have I been wishing we could! Yep, I want to see the quilts, but I'm really hungry for the fried cheese curds. And I'm pretty sure that the food we eat at the state fair is calorie and cholesterol free, right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for me to have occasionally so I don't miss the SC State Fair so much. I got quite a kick out of the Quilt Hanger's Choice award, too. That was a new one......... I'll try to find a way to thank him. I've had Churros ! We lived in Spain for 2 years when DH was in the Navy. Churros were our "donuts" when we were there. Great !!! Very much the same as the Funnel Cake only not as big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilted charm Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Congrats!! Two ribbons in your first try! That's wonderful. I haven't gotten the nerve to enter anything yet. My friends keep nagging me, but they don't really know what constitutes a winning quilt. Mine are even close yet. But...keep on PPP and maybe some day. Every year at our fair, I have to have the corn dog, a corn on the cob, and a strawberry lemonade. Don't know what makes them so much better than what I can cook at home, but they are! We tried a fried snicker bar last year. I think they have tried frying everything. The snicker bar was good, but not something you would eat very often...
