"zeppole" news and stories

A 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.
