One more. Just can’t keep trackside vendors off the right-of-way!
Never heard of frybread / fry bread before, sounds good!
frybread = tortillas?
must be an Amtrack line…
what scale and what brand are your vendors?
Fry bread is a southwestern Native American item. Basically a bread dough with yeast that is deep fried and served hot as a dessert after a New Mexican meal with green chili. Great with natural honey or honey butter…now I’m hungry! Korm, the little figures I think are 1/32 scale. They came with a large collection I obtained last Fall. Not sure who made them, but they certainly fit for here in the Southwest. The sign was added by the previous modeler…perfect.

Sounds like the Midwestern Funnel Cakes. Served the same way…good!

I love traditional fry bread. Now I feel the need to make some. I prefer mine with a very hot pico de gallo even though that is not traditional. I basically eat it as a fluffy tortilla.
Funnel cake, oh yea, good eats.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t funnel cakes made from a liquid batter (like pancakes) that is poured through a funnel into the hot oil? We had a funnel cake maker once, but the mix that came with it sucked, so we never tried again. Fried Dough, and apparently Fry Bread are made from dough rather then batter.
Yea, that’s about right. We’ve used waffle mix for funnel cakes and turned out pretty good. It’s really all about the fat and sugar.
Sunday’s my Grandmother would make puffs from some of her bread dough she mixed for the week. I just go to the grocery store when needing the fix and get the frozen bread loaf dough. Take it home, take a loaf out to thaw in a pot or large bowl greasing it first, let the dough raise (usually overnight), break off a bit and stretch it out to about 4-5", put in a preheated pan with some oil or butter(best) on medium heat and watch it rise again. When light brown on the bottom turn for the other side to brown. We split them open, buttered them and put fried eggs and bacon on for a great meal.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Nice little scene, and all this talk of fry bread and funnel cakes is making me hungry!
