They had that one at the WI state fair too, and it was quite good. Their website even had a whole page dedicated to a food on a stick listing.

At least around Wisconsin you don't have to go to a fair to find cheese curds though.

I had a funnel cake in Boston about twenty years ago - I can still feel it on my tongue.

Yes, you certainly are deprived. But you can make them at home! The problem is, once you've invested in a batch of batter, a funnel, and a pan of oil, you feel the need to make and eat more than one. Some things should be a once-a-year experience.

Go to the San Diego or Los Angeles fairs, there are plenty of funnel cakes there....and they are heavenly.
