Elephant ear is better.
I definitely remember them as a kid in Texas, and preferring them to funnel cakes. Haven't seen any around in years though.
I've never heard of the plant called an elephant ear.

I'm against eating any elephant part.
Honestly, I'd probably try a rack of elephant ribs.

I grew up on elephant ears at the ark-la-miss fair

An elephant ear is more or less donut dough, flattened and fried whereas funnel cake is some insidious batter poured into old smelly oil then covered with powdered sugar.

My favorite fair food
Most of my horse shows as a kid were at county fairs.

I remember them being called elephant ears, but it's been at least 50 or 60 years. I like that name better.
