It gives me hope that all mankind can get together behind the idea of fried dough. And I always knew these as zeppole, and I never met anyone who could resist them. Nice find, Espoo2.

And somewhere, a cop is giggling uncontrollably. You say donut, I say koeksisters, you say donut, I say beignet (not just France, New Orleans too). This is pretty cool!

Excellent! This is probably the second best thing in the world, right behind fried pork fat.

Weird. Are they selling the same dough for all of these?

They left out a complete category of things like onion rings and popcorn shrimp. These often seem to be mainly fried dough with a little bit of onion or shrimp added for flavor. It is hard to find info about specific products, but I did turn up Tampa Maid Gourmet Popcorn Shrimp:

Lighter coating at approximately 42%

I wonder what the figures are for non-gourmet shrimp with a heaver coating.

Missing from this list: pisang goreng (deep fried banana in batter) from Indonesia. Made from cooking bananas, such as pisang tanduk: bigger, less sweet, less mushy.

MonkeySaltedNuts - 'onion rings..These often seem to be mainly fried dough with a little bit of onion' This is often the case, though I have to agree with UK Trading Standards: 'The term ‘Onion Rings’ (which implies a product made from natural onion rings) cannot be used to describe a product made from chopped onion and potato.' Link to Blackpool Council website, where they obviously take their onion rings seriously. Only applies to restuarants and take-aways. 'Failure to comply with these requirements is a criminal offence. The maximum penalty on conviction is a fine of £5,000, or £20,000 for certain offences of misleading consumers.' A fitting punishment for sub-standard onion ring peddlers! ˆ..˜ The onion rings I like are made from a ring cut from a large onion, dipped in batter and fried. Preferably chip shop batter and beef dripping. Scrum-diddly-umcious!
