That photo was the Texas Tornado that I was familiar with, but we have
the ones that you posted too. We get plenty of trashtastic food at our
festivals, but we have some healthy foods, too. I am sure I would love
the Elephant Ear. :-P

BTW, if it is 'trashtastic', then I love it. If I do not like it, then
it is 'craptastic'. Thanks for the link to Elephant Ears! Dang, now
I'm hungry.
