Donuts Worldwide

‘France - Pets de nonnes translates to “nun’s puffs,” which is slang for “nun’s farts.” These little farts are made with flour, butter, milk, eggs, and plenty of sugar. The dough is shaped into a ball and then fried in lard and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s a mystery why they’re called nun farts, but don’t think too much about it. 

In Germany, they eat Berliner pfannkuchen, which are fried, doughnut-like pastries without a hole that are often simply called “Berliners.” These are basically just jelly doughnuts by a different name, with cream, chocolate, or fruit fillings. Just be careful when you’re eating them in Germany because it’s a far-too-common prank to fill one of the Berliners in a pile with mustard instead of something sweet.

Italy - Zeppole are like filled doughnuts with the top blown off. The fried dough can be filled with custard, jam, or anything else you desire. The filling depends on where you’re at in the country. Some areas go sweet with fillings like blended ricotta and sugar, others go savory with anchovies.

Japan is close behind Canada when it comes to doughnut consumption and doughnut shops per capita. One of the types you’ll find there is what’s called an-doughnut, which is fried dough filled with red bean paste. The most popular place to grab one is at one of the many Mister Donut locations, which have been serving an-doughnuts since 1983.’ (Info from here)
