How about Ears of Corn?
Elephant Ears are a pastry of basically fried dough that is kind of big and flat (hence Elephant Ear) and covered with powdered sugar.
Careful. Many Efoods can contain viruses.
Play it safe… give 'em Vitamin E tablets.
Thanks Zeb–no I’ve never encountered those. Sound a bit like pancakes.
lieu-huh?
The elephant ears I’ve had have been like big, misshapen profiteroles. Smoked eel is delicious but you’re taking a big risk serving it to kids, especially strangers’ kids. My votes would go for edam (very safe) or enchiladas.
IJGRieve, you might know them as funnel cakes.
Email… Efoods… nevermind.
What’s the nutritional value of E Coli?
That is honestly the cutest kid food item I’ve ever heard of. It beats my sister’s dirt cake all to heck. I always want her to make a sea/beach-themed “sand” cake for her stepkids, with Swedish fish (for them) and Godiva white chocolate raspberry filled starfish (for me).
Be warned, LunaSea: the sweetness factor of an Elephant Ear will result in massive sugar highs for those kindergarteners.
How about eclairs?
Just whip up a batch of Etouffee! Mmmm…crawfish.
Oh man, Eclaires! That’s a great idea (really, I love them very much). Or, get an elephant-shaped cookie-cutter and make sugar cookies.
Espresso. Heh heh heh. Kindergardeners hopped up on caffeine. Woo hoo!
I can’t believe nobody has said this!
ENCHILADAS, BABY! ENCHILADAS!
I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
We make elehant ears with honey and white sugar up here in The North… but thats a wonderful idea. Get the kindergarteners all hooped up on sugar and then leave them for the teacher…
plus, they’re easy to make. Come halloween, you can make them again and call them Bat ears.
Dude, InternetLegend said that like, yesterday.

(OK, Not helpful.)
Joy of Cooking Index under E:
Earthenware (probably not edible)
Easter Bunnies (a cookie)
Eclairs
Ecrevisses (Crayfish)
Edam
Eel
Eggs (logs of eggs)
Eggless
Eggnog
Eggplant
Elderberry (tisanes and jam - I’d only come up with wine myself and figured you wouldn’t feed that to children).
Elk
En Croute (cooking meat in a crust)
En Papillote (cooking in parchment)
Enchildadas
Enamelware (possible the same issues as Earthenware)
Endive (you could make a salad)
English Muffins
Entertaining
Entree
Entremets
Enzymes
Equpment
Escabeche (fish)
Escarole (endive)
Espagnole (brown sauce)
(Personally, I’m liking the epanadas idea. If you’ve never had them they are little hamburger pies - Mexican potstickers if you will. Kids like them. Easy to make. Egg rolls would be my second choice - they are a little fussy to make, but you can buy them frozen).
(What kind of kindergarten teacher thinks parents have this kind of time anymore! I’d be calling the caterer.)
Emu.
Eclairs would be a hit, I’m sure.
Is an egg log anything like a nut log?
Enoki mushrooms
Edamame
Evian water…
Actually, the edamame is a good idea. They’re fun to eat if you get them in the pods.
Actually, most of the elephant ears I’ve seen have been giant versions of the French panier, if that’s any help. it’s usually a very flaky pastry, fairly thin (about 1 cm), with lots of honey or syrup.
And speaking of e’s - you know, anything can be a carrier of E. coli…
