I remember having tea and toasted Italian round bread with lard and pepper it was dilicious!
My greatgrand parents had a Hog farm in upstate NY.

In what part of the Northeast do you live?
OK, I looked at the Top Pot Web site. What’s a “Pink Feather Boa” doughnut?
mmmmmmm, lard!
lol....I hate em: It’s one of those pink doughnuts - only with coconut shavings instead of candy sprinkles.
When I was growing up in Dallas we’d get Southern Maid donuts. They were good. Krispy Kreme closed here. We have a local chain called Shipleys, and KK couldn’t compete. I rarely eat donuts but had a few KK’s hot out of the fryer and I can see how they’d be addictive.
I can remember my grandmother making donuts once in a great while when I was a kid. It was a festive occasion. I can remember it well enough (Farmhouse, pump on the sink, and a massive wood stove) That I find KK's revolting with their slimy wet sugar coatings. Until I can find donuts like those I remmeber, I just won't bother with them because they are always disappointing.
oh, the fortieth birthday joke (As I call it) got you too? I was scrawny all my life, then, suddenly...
my fav donuts are the ones we used to get at bodners
on hampton blvd in norfolk. they would cook ‘em up
late night/early morning. we’d stop by on our way back
to the dorms and get them so fresh and hot you could
barely hold them in your hands. absolutely melt in your
mouth spectacular!
i was sooooooo sad to see it was gone. :(
You’ve got the idea. I’m waiting for cutting out sugar and smaller portions and more fruits and vegetables to have some effect. So far, not working.
I have not ... but if you'll tell me where to exit off of I-20 I will try one the next time we drive through there. There is a little mom & pop donut shop in Monroe, LA that has some really good glazed. Personally, I can't pass up a cinnamon cake.
My BIL says that those things are gonna kill me and I told him that I don't necessarily want to live a few years longer and pass up all of the good food that helps make life worth living. I also remind him that his dad lived to 98 years young and ate any darn thing he desired.
DUNKIN' DONUTS whole menu going zero grams trans fat by mid-October -- even the doughnuts! Developing...
I still use lard in a lot of stuff. You can’t beat the taste. I recon most people, who cook from scratch, still do use it. :)
A friend of mine slimmed down a LOT and when I asked her how she did it, she said she changed just one habit.
She never eats after 6 pm. (and drinks a lot of water).
It’s HARD to fast for 12 hours every day! (6 pm - 6 am)
I haven’t eaten a donut in 20 years, or longer. This article makes me want one. You are bad!
There’s a local donut place where I live and go to that used to be a SM shop. I think the current owners bought it and continued to run it like it was previously run without the name. It is the best shop in town. The best glazed donuts I’ve EVER eaten (and I’ve had a few).
I can’t stand the rubbery feeling of a KK doughnut.
Give me a good ol’ fried, cake doughnut anytime. Yum!
I posted my ancestor to show no weight problem yet today with all of the process foods people are getting fat!
