few days ago, I did a post about a site that had a humorous cultural history of the dumpling. In a somewhat similar vein, here's an
illustrated listing of fried dough from around the
world. The site is hosted by OSO-ONO, a California-based
wholesaler of fried dessert dough. Basically, they sell frozen bags of an all-purpose dough that they say can be used
to make all kinds of donut-like things. I'm a little skeptical that one dough can do it all, but their chart of fried
dough from different countries is great. There are dozens of items--from fry bread to beignets to gulab jamun--each
with a photo and brief explanation. It seems like it would be a great jumping off point for any donut enthusiast
looking for new ideas.Donuts of many lands

1Just to clarify that Phoenix for a long time had some locations of Dunkin. There was one on Bell Rd and maybe 15th Avenue and also one on Indian School and 28th street to name a couple. If they went away for awhile it is because they sucked. They really were of an inferior quality when compared to even many grocery stores.
Portland, OR used to have them, but they suck and were also run out of town here. It's a cultural thing back east.
Why can't the west get any White Castle?

Can anyone tell me a location of Dunkin' Donuts in California? Can't seem to location one here, even emailed company web site, they didn't answer. See these wonderful ads for their products on the New York and Atlanta feeds on my Dish Network TV. There must be one someware in California, willing to drive a long way to taste their coffee and donuts. Thanks a million for any help at all.
8being a veteran new englander i have had my share of dunkin donuts. 1) their coffee is horrid...another example of new englanders adamently defending a lackluster situation. the crap is only fit to be used as a vehicle for cowloads of cream and buckets of sugar....hence all of their "coffee drinks". you are not missing out. 2) the donuts rule and should be included as a new food group. they seriously rock...especially the boston creams!
9I don't believe they have Dunkin Donuts in California anywhere. I used to live in Massachusetts and there they have two Dunkin Donuts on each corner. I moved to Arizona 4 years ago and found out that they don't have them here. They just started building them here and they now have about 5 of them throughout the Valley. (which is huge). I have to drive 20 minutes to get to any of them but it is so worth it.

Howard's donuts of Memphis Tn and other local environs are very good. Not to rich and not too sweet but just right. There used to be a Dunkin's Donuts in Memphis some years back. They couldn't make those damn things fast enough they sold so many. Then mysteriously they up and left without any explanation.
16I love fried donuts and ate my way through Moscow as a visiting college student in the former Soviet Union many summers ago. I still can taste them (called 'ponchiki' in Russian) - greasy, covered in powdered sugar and served in the previous day's Pravda. They are best when eaten hot out of the fryer.
