Actually, a carnival vendor could put a sign that says “Funnel Cakes” on one side of the trailer, and a sign that says “Churros” on the other side, and no one would know the difference. For all practical purposes, they’re the same thing.
No they aren’t!
Churros are long and skinny, with a star shaped cross section, fried to a medium brown and coated with cinnamon sugar.
Funnel cakes are flat, swirled, and fried to merely a light tan and sprinkled with powdered sugar, and perhaps other toppings.
THEY’RE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
Okay, maybe they use the same batter, but EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT!!
And churros were featured on Cutthroat Kitchen a couple of weeks ago! I’ve never had one before, despite multiple opportunities, and after that episode now I want to try a good one.
But so is maintaining appearances and paying lip service to law-&-order. She isn’t going to order around a civilian when it has nothing to do with shadow government priorities.
They’re just jealous that the lab can cook things much faster than they can. Speaking of that, there’s ALWAYS a deep-fried something-or-other stand somewhere at the fairgrounds. Keep looking, you guys.
Good point. There’s hardly ever just one of any kind of vendor. And you’re certain to find one that doesn’t care who or what you are, as long as you have cash.

You can no longer (well, maybe depending on the State) get away with “we don’t serve Blacks, Gays, Latinos, Jews” or a number of other categorizations, but apparently “Talking Animals” is still perfectly legit. I’m starting to sympathize more with H.T.
It’s still perfectly legal to refuse to serve anyone almost everywhere. Anti-discrimination laws almost always apply to specific settings and conditions, mostly hiring, housing, and government services.
Funnel cakes are not churros, dog, now beat it!

Well I guess that all depends on who’s making them.

As far as I’m concerned, they’re interchangeable, and gross.
If you look carefully the top sign says funnel cakes, the side on the side of the booth advertises Churros, so the booth sells both.
Oh, hey, artist cameo with her family in the last panel. Has that been a thing I’ve missed before?
Yep!
Hurrah! I noticed it before reading about it in the comments!
“Well, that’s fine because I don’t intend to eat any talking animals from the explosion lab today either. So what else do you have for food?”. ^_~
How ’bout one funnel cake server?
So what brings them to Vermont?
How did this wind up one below?
REALLY good funnel cakes…!
Talking or not, this may be the last time she tells a large carnivore to beat it.
So Sweetheart just flashes her badge and says, “I’m not from the lab, I’m from the government, and yes, you will serve us.”
Yes, but that would be an abuse of power. Fun, but not really Sweetheart’s style.
Do we know the same Sweetheart? Abuse of power is exactly her style.
But so is maintaining appearances and paying lip service to law-&-order. She isn’t going to order around a civilian when it has nothing to do with shadow government priorities.
No, you flash your badge and say quietly, “I have the FDA and USDA on speed dial.”
Once your lab becomes known for explosions you don’t gain many fans among the general populace, a few, but not many.

No shirts, no shoes, no service.

I think the fact that they are from ‘explosion lab’ might have something to do with it, though.
Very true. How many people can you kidnap for the purposes of experimentation before the neighbors begin to talk? o_O
Indeed, when you join a cult and terrorise your neighbours, you don’t get to play the race card when people take offence to this.

Regarding the Churros/Funnel Cake thing, there are smaller signs on the cart. I just assumed both were available there.
In Vermont? They’d revoke her citizenship!
