    My Italian wife, Eva, never eats breakfast. Why? Because in Italy, breakfast is hardly a "thing" and, at most, consists of a sweet pastry. Which is why I thought it might be time to introduce her to America's favorite sweet breakfast: a donut (or twelve).

    "Change the oil!" -- I teach classes on foods, and one time I researched donuts. I called a local shop and asked how often they changed the [partially-hydrogenated, refined] oil. "About every two weeks." Yikes. No wonder Ava balked. Her "taster" has not been corrupted from a lifetime of food fried in old, rancid oil.

      You've said it all. Most of the fried junk food's made like that. Same thing occurs with asian famous "nems", here in France, made from frozen industrially processed stuff... and it stinks, of course. Just try fresh one home made to get what's the difference...

      Eva knows what she's doing. And when she doesn't, she asks.
      But she'll still do an excellent job, so long as it's not one of Harper's experiments where you cool down pasta once, microwave it, cool it down a second time, and then microwave once more.
      I don't know where I'm going with this. Anyways, kudos to Eva.

      Before covid, I used to drive into Los Angeles from my city right outside L.A. which can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 4 hours to get something decent or interesting. It can either be a lot of fun or a complete nightmare depending on if the food is worth it or if there’s a crazy accident on the freeway or if half the state catches on fire while I am down there.

    Thst "bad fried" flavor is from modefied shortening that they use for frying. Reason why it's bad for you is because the shortening stays solid at room temperature (it clogs the artery if you eat too much of it), and they use this shortening because the donuts will not taste greasy. If you make your own at home using regular cooking oil, it always taste different.

    I am Canadian and my parents were Italian (regions - Abbruzzo-Molise and Veneto) and only had strong coffee in the morning - breakfast is not a big deal - a pastry or cookie to dunk at most. Our family makes a similar donut called crespelle (some versions have potatoes), and we put raisins in them, but usually make them for Christmas. I still like Tim Horton's as much as you like Dunkin (I loved those when I visited friends in Massachusetts), but I grew up with donuts.It would definitely be culture shock to someone from Italy. She probably liked Boston cream (like my mom did - and mom made faces like Eva when she didn't like something Lol!) because the filling resembles pastry cream which is a staple in many Italian desserts.That was hilarious!
