No KenI mean your Drive-in Theatre or local Drive-in Theatre. You may not have heard of these beasts as so few remain. Essentially a drive-in theatre is where someone finds a car park, erects a really, really big screen and projects a film up on the screen. People drive to the car park, pay an entrance fee to watch the film from their car, and then pay heaps for overpriced, often lukewarm food at a hastily (and cheaply) built snack bar on site. In spite of the above, going to said establishments is often lot of fun. Its a bizarre concept but it works. In 2000 I visited Califormia and was introduced to Churros and root beer and yes - you could get Churros in other flavours ie rolled in raspberry sugar. Yum. One place you can get these is San Diego Zoo. I was curious to see whether Drive-in Theatres in the US sold Churros and whether that was just in California or in other states as well. cheers Peter

They serve churros at Disneyland too, from a little cart. I think its just a Californian thing. Elsewhere in the country they serve funnel cakes, (batter drizzled into frying oil and coated with powdered sugar or jam), indian fry-bread (not sure what this is, but its usually covered in peanut butter or jam. It looks like a tortilla), and "elephant ears", but I think those are just indian fry-bread with a more PC name. Anyway, churros taste like those cinnamon twists from Taco Bell, except chewier. For my money, though, its funnel cake or bust!-adam
