I am looking for information on the origin of doughnuts, and any 
historical references about how doughnuts were consumed (doughnut street 
vendors?) and what kind of doughnuts were popular in the past.  I would also 
love to get an old-fashioned, authentic doughnut recipe.

Any timbit of information would be appreciated...

I can be e-mailed at the above address.

Thanks in advance!!

Caroline.
