Soft and sugary, it has spurred the spirits of World War One soldiers on the front lines.
Warm and doughy, it has earned the adulation of Homer Simpson, the main character of America's longest-running animated TV series.
Heart-shaped and jelly-filled, it has even been used to honour the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding.
And every 2 June since 1938, we celebrate it - the donut or doughnut - on National Donut Day in the US

Will get a glazed, chocolate iced, or plain donut with a cup of coffee, to celebrate.
And I don't eat donuts or drink coffee
And yes it says June 2nd, but national donut day is the first friday in June.
my guess is that donuts have been around forever.....fry cakes...add berries or sugar...
Yes, fried dough is old news.
They were invented By the Chinese who serve them as a savory fried bread with congee (Rice Porrage) The Dutch took the fried bread and bent it into a circle then honey over the top with nuts in the middle. The English lost the nuts but kept the name.
I would buy a pound of dough. Fed 3 kids and me for a buck.
Donut day is a nonevent for me. Don’t eat wheat or sugar or the grease they are fried in. Some o them look fairl appetizing and I understand why people want them.
How did you cook the dough?
"As you go through life, make this your goal:
Watch the doughnut, not the hole."
Satan cakes - frosted dealers of cardiac death.
Won’t touch those culinary grenades.
Donuts today are TOXIC.
Don’t be fooled.
They are NOT what they used to be.
Fair warning.
I make my DOUGHNUTS at home and NEVER imbibe a commercial ‘donut’.
fried in oil then into sugar/cinnamon
