Doughnuts! Doughnuts!
A doughnut is a fried dough food and is popular all around the world. They are made from a flour dough are usually sweet and deep-fried, shaped in rings or otherwise flattened spheres that often contain fillings, the most popular one being jam. Other types of dough such as potato can also be used as well as other different types of batter. Various toppings and flavorings are used for different types of “filled” doughnuts. At Modern Canvas Art the Krispy Kreme doughnuts our favourites but we’re good boys here and we don’t eat too many of them. Hell, they can make you fat.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world record for doughnut eating is held by a man named John Haight, who ate 52 ounces of doughnuts (about 26 average doughnuts) in just over six minutes in 1981. His mum must have been so proud!
The largest doughnut ever made was an American-style “jelly” doughnut which weighed 1.7 tonnes and measured 4.9 m (16 ft) in diameter and was 40.6cm (16in) high in the centre. It was made in Utica, New York, USA on January 21, 1993.
At Modern Canvas Art we are partial to the odd doughnut during breaks from producing our pop art prints and canvas paintings. To celebrate the great doughnut, we created this Doughnut Canvas Print which is quite funky we think you’ll agree and would look great in a kitchen or children’s bedroom. Take a look at Modern Canvas Art and check out our terrific canvas prints. Oh – and take a look at one of our Banksy prints featuring – yes – a doughnut.
