I don't have the hyperlikns handy, so I'll just comment. For Mardi Gras my flatmate and I made crepes as an experiment (from an online recipe). I had never eaten them before, let alone made them. We spread jam on them and they were yummy.
The other day I felt inspired to make funnel cakes, but when I looked online for a recipe I found ones with 3-18 ingredients, sometimes barely overlapping in the essential ingredients. So, I didn't end up making them, but they're another part of American cookery.
