Funnel cake

References to funnel cakes are a running gag in Hearthstone. The joke originated with the quotes and flavor text of the Refreshment Vendor minion in The Grand Tournament, and has since been referenced in nearly every expansion and adventure from then until Rastakhan's Rumble, with the exception of The League of Explorers, The Witchwood, and The Boomsday Project.

Mentions

 * The Grand Tournament logo.png The origin of the gag is found in the form of the Refreshment Vendor, who mentions funnel cakes in his summon and death quotes ("Funnel cakes! Get your funnel cakes here!" and "But I have... more... cakes...", respectively). His flavor text also reads "Menu: Funnel cakes, carrots, popcorn, jormungar steaks. It's hard serving a diverse clientele."

Funnel Cakes franchises in Gadgetzan's food district have been closed due to being under investigation for selling substandard funnel cake and fraudulent foodstuffs to the public.
