Post #39: National Doughnut Day

NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY – First Friday in June

National Doughnut Day First Friday in June

In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army.  It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe.  Home cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops.

The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers.  American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.”  A more standard spelling is donut. 

On this day, many bakeries and coffee shops in the United States offer doughnut deals to their customers.

What is your favorite doughnut? Tell me why.  What is your favorite doughnut shop?
