What is the derivation of the term "doughnut"?

Is it because they were originally fried in peanut-oil?

 

[Siniminister]

The earliest occurrence of the word is in the work of Washington Irving (1809). He had to define the word, so we can assume that it was not a widely known dish at the time, at least to his audience. And, interestingly, he defines doughnuts as "balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog's fat". This suggests that doughnuts were not named after knots or nuts and bolts, but instead after nuts like walnuts or pecans. They were balls of dough that, when fried to a deep golden brown, resembled nuts. Doughnuts only took their torus shape to overcome a problem inherent in balls of dough - uncooked centers. Removing the centers ensured that the doughnuts would be cooked throughout.

its covered in nuts.. yuk

If you look at the KK website under the Donuts section they have a link to Special Donuts. That shows the pic of the donut, and on the side it says it has "toffee crunch" topping. So I'd assume it's kinda like a heath bar.

The Caramel Kreme Crunch is way tooo freaking sweet. I stick with the normal glazed.

 

[ams30gts]

original glaze is the best

I read and article at www.fool.com that starts out:

According to "internal figures" obtained by The Wall Street Journal, sales at about 40 outlets that were opened during the past year averaged some $35,000 during the quarter ended Aug. 4. That's well below the $64,000 the company has averaged in the past.

It appears that we're not enough enough Krispy Kreme! Come on people!! We need to pick up the slack!


Also, this weekend I was looking over the Krispy Kreme Web site with completely unrealistic dreams of opening up a store near Santa Barbara (I have to drive 45 miles south for my fix), and I read this:

Our current Area Developers have requested the rights to develop the majority of the smaller markets. The markets that they do not develop may be made available in the future. Until then, there are no franchise opportunities available in the United States.

Yikes! NO franchise opportunities at all in the US???!

Fine, how about in Asia?

Our franchisees must possess the capital sufficient to fund the development of the market. We currently grant franchises on an area development basis. Specifically, our area developers are required to build multiple stores (10 or more) in a market. The minimum net worth requirement is $30 million or $1,000,000 per store to be developed, whichever is greater. For instance, a 15-store market requires a minimum net worth of $30,000,000.

Um... okay, i suppose that I'll come back when I have $30 million. *pout*
