Gosh-e fil (Persian: گُوش فيل; "elephant's ear"[1]) is a fried pastry from Afghan cuisine[2] The dough is shaped like an elephant ear (goosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each piece is then topped with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar.
This sweet is mainly served with tea, especially during Ramadan and Nowruz. [3]
The dough is made by whisking eggs, milk and butter, then adding the mixture to the dry ingredients.[4]
Gosh-e fil and doogh[edit]
The city of Isfahan is one of the prominent cities of Iran, known as the city of delicious sweets,[citation needed] in which gosh-e fil is eaten with a combination of local doogh (a combination of water and sour yogurt). This combination has long been rooted in the food culture of the local people and continues to this day. [5] [6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
