In early colonial times, US. Dutch immigrants discovered fried cake. So, the story goes, a cow kicked a pot full of boiling oil over onto some pastry mix, thus inventing the golden brown delight. Apparently, they didn't share this great discovery with their homeland and the fried cakes became a staple in the harsh conditions that existed in the colony.

Around 1847, Elizibeth Gregory, a New England ship captain's mother, made a deep-fried dough that used her son's spice cargo of nutmeg, cinnimon, and lemon rind. She made the deep fried cakes for son Hansen and his crew so they could store the pastry on long voyages...and to help ward off scurvy and colds. Mrs. Gregory put hazel nuts or walnuts in the center, where the dough might not cook through, and called them doughnuts.

Hansen always took credit for the hole in the doughnut. Some doughnut historians think that Hansen was a bit of a cheapskate and was just trying to save on food costs. Others say that he gave the doughnut its first hole when, in the middle of a terrible storm and in order to get both hands on the ships wheel, he crammed one of his mothers fried sensations onto one of the wooded spokes of the wheel. Yet another tale claims that he decided, after a visit from an angel, that the doughy center of the fried cakes had to go.

Her son Hanson presented "his" creation to the people who apparently sang and danced for days in praise of the best fried cake they had ever tasted. Is the doughnut heavenly food? 17th century America thought so, but unfortunately Hanson was eventually burnt at the stake for being a witch in the mid-19th century. Today, the town of Clam Cove, Maine has a plaque in honor of Captain Hanson Gregory, the man who invented the hole in the donut.

Considering that it is called Danish (as in Denmark, the country inhabitated by the Danish people), wouldn't it make a lot more sense that it was from Denmark?

The average glazed donut only has about 1-3 grams of fiber per donut.

Definitely a donut! Most red wines have little or no sugar, and while whites vary it is still lower than the sugar content in a donut.

original is 4 pts

Between 200 and 400 calories, on average, as it will vary based on the size, ingredients, and brand of the donut.

Homer loves to eat donuts. Many of the other characters in the Simpsons love to eat donuts, but Homer is the main character we see eating donuts.

because he was baked

It depends on your definition of "do".As a food,a Doughnut would give you plenty of sugar,carbohydrate,and saturated fat,not to mention taste.The doughnut itself would unfortunately actively do nothing for your body whatsoever,apart from convince you to write a badly worded,grammatically incorrect,vague question such as this and expect a fully sober answer.

Whole grain bagels are considered to be more nutrient dense. Plain bagels are less nutrient dense. The reason for this is because plain bagels have refined flour and sugar in them.

A doughnut graph/chart is similar to a pie chart in that it conveys how much each part contributes to a whole. When graphing one series of data, the only difference between a pie chart and a doughnut chart is that the doughnut chart has empty space in the middle. The primary advantage of a doughnut chart is that it can help visualize several series of data on one chart. When creating a doughtnut chart from multiple data series in Excel, each series has its own doughnut, and the doughnuts are nested inside one another to form one chart.

When working with multiple data series you can make several pie charts (one for each series) and place them next to eachother, or a single doughnut chart. Which of these is options better conveys the information depends on the data (how many series you have, etc), and ultimately is up to personal interpretation/preference.

Example:

If you wanted to compare the percentage of each population group in a city, you could use a pie chart (or a doughnut chart if you would like empty space in the middle).

To compare this to the same data from 10 years prior, you could use two pie charts (one for now, one for 10 years prior), or one doughnut chart.

Doughnuts, because they have more flavour.

The idiomatic meaning of 'bet in the hole of a donut' is a bet that does not carry weight or is not plausible. Because the hole of the donut is basically a non-existent thing, the bet is also worthless.

i dont know but it must be heaven pownage. donuts rule the earth

In 2002 Starbucks served about 20 million customers a week, earning $3.288 billion. In 2007 Starbucks has earned a net income of 9.411 billion. This is a growth rate of 286.2%. Assuming the 20 million customers are correlated with the net income and its growth rate, I assume that Starbucks served 57.24 million customers a week, that is about 2.98 billion customers served per year! However, 85% of sales come from retail stores, which means with 15,011 world wide stores, in 2007, each store, theoretically, averagely served about 168,743 customers a year. This is equal to 462 customers day! On average, stores open at 5:00am to 5:30 and close around 10:00pm to 11:00pm. So at a maximum of 16 hours a day, the average Starbucks employee team stirs out about 29 beverages an hour.
