I first learned of Funnel Cakes during the time I lived in North Carolina and visited relatives in the north east. For me, they were absolutely the worst possible thing to eat - and I loved them.

So now when I travel to fairs and festivals I see that they have made it to the West - big time! So I no longer bring homes packages of mix from my trips east, I just wait for the next fair. Fortunately, this weekend is the Lodi Grape Festival!

I thought that maybe other folks would like to see what a Western Funnel Cake looks like - but I waited too long!

Yes, funnel cake are fine, but I highly recommend you do NOT try the Kettle Corn. Kettle Corn is sweet and salty another favorite as festivals that you want to avoid.

Also DO NOT TRY the M & M with pretzels.....

I had my choice of the funnel cake or fresh baked cinnamon roll with raisins, pecans and icing. We opted for the roll. I would've taken a picture of it, but Barb wouldn't let me have proof of the evidence. ha!

Due to caloric intake I'm sure glad the festival only comes to town once a year!

Randy - Yah, that's great ... but then there is: The Taste of Lodi, the street fair, Octoberfest; yah, boy I'm sure glad these only happen once a year too!

Jack,

It is surprising how much one can derive from an empty plate (LOL). There is always so much to imagine

One thing is for sure. Someone really loved that cake. The plate leaves no doubt about it. They even licked the spoon

Jon - Guilty ... but no regrets!

Jack - funny picture! I tried a funnel cake here in the South but couldn't finish it. Maybe I should try the Western version. (Thanks for your kind comments on my blog, by the way.)

You're very welcome ... thanks for the great insight. Funnel cakes are a little rich ... usually the plate is not quite empty!
