Zeppole. Puff puff. Oliebol. Whatever you call it, and wherever you are in the world, you’re sure to find some form of fried dough snack unique to that region and culture. Here in the U.S., it’s doughnuts (a.k.a. donuts)—and, boy, do we love them. Since 2011,  doughnut  sales have steadily increased, and industry revenue topped $16 billion in 2015. That’s a lotta dough! (Sorry, I can’t resist a good  bun  pun.) So, where did doughnuts originate, and why are they so darn popular? Were Doughnuts Born in Britain? For as long as human beings have been cultivating grain and frying food, we’ve been eating something similar to doughnuts. According to Michael Krondl, food historian and author of “ The Donut: History, Recipes, and Lore from Boston to Berlin ,” the  ancient Greeks and

#Doughnut  #PinkBox  #CambodianAmerican  #Refugees  Like the red-and-green cardboard pizza boxes or white Chinese takeout containers, many doughnut boxes share a certain look regardless of where you buy them. This is especially true in Southern California: Order a dozen crullers from one of the region's many independently-run doughnut shops and you’ll likely receive them in a glossy pink box. According to  Great Big Story , this trend can be traced back to an influential immigrant business owner. In the 1970s, Ted Ngoy moved to Southern California as a refugee from Cambodia.

Along with passing down entrepreneurial advice, he also inspired them to choose the light pink boxes that he used in his stores. As Ngoy recalled  years later , either he or his business partner, Ning Yen, starte

#KFC #Friedchicken #Doughnut #Donut #Sandwich  #DoughnutChickenSandwich Just when it seemed like the  chicken sandwich wars of summer 2019  were starting to wind down, KFC escalates the finger-lickin’ feud by deploying a new, outlandish creation in three cities across America: the Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Sandwich. As the name implies, this is a crispy chicken filet between two glazed doughnuts, priced at $5.99 (or $7.99 as a combo meal). At test locations where this dish is available, KFC is also offering a “basket meal” version, with a choice of bone-in chicken or two tenders, plus a single doughnut for $5.49 (or two doughnuts for $7.49). Participating locations are also selling individual doughnuts for one dollar apiece. These items seem much more in KFC’s junk food wheelhouse than the  non-chicken nuggets that the chain tested  earlier this summer. The Colonel. He tasks me.
