National Buy a Doughnut Day

October 30th is National Buy a Doughnut Day in the United States.

Not simply celebrating the doughnut, alternatively called the donut, but the act of purchasing them. So probably not celebrating cooking them.

There are two main types of doughnut, which are a type of fried dessert, the ring doughnut, which has the distinctive toroidal "donut" shape, and the filled doughnut. Ring doughnuts are ring shaped with a whole in the centre, from which the doughnut hole, a small, spherical doughnut originally came from, although doughnut holes tend to be purpose made today and ring doughnuts are usually made ring shaped to start with. Filled doughnuts are flattened spheres that have a filling inside, such as flavoured creams, jams or jellies.

Doughnuts of both types are often topped, whether simply with powdered sugar, or glazed with other things, such as chocolate.
