Callie Anderson shows what an elephant ear is: a huge fried dough pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar, sold at Michigan fairs and festivals. It tastes like a hot dog and pairs well with lemonade.
Have you seen this food before? No, what's that? This is called an elephant ear, and they are at every festival, every fair in Michigan. Like an elephant like ear? Yeah, it's a fried piece of dough, and they put cinnamon sugar on it. And I think it's called an elephant ear because it's so big. Maybe the shape and size of it. Oh, that sounds delicious. Yeah, actually it's a little bit like hot dog, that kind of taste. So if you go to a fair or festival in Michigan, you always have to get an elephant ear and some lemonade.
