The Truth, the HOLE Truth, and Nothing But The Truth!!!
Although doughnuts were reportedly introduced to Americans by the Dutch, they were not the first people to come up with the idea of a hole in the middle.
So is there actually a reason for having the hole in the middle? The answer is yes.
As a sea going mariner, Hanson Gregory of Maine U.S.A. was posed with a dilemma while sailing one night and about to tuck into a delicious doughnut.
A fierce wind had sprung up and both of his hands were required for steering the ship, so what to do with the doughnut? After a quick glance at the ship’s wheel, he promptly stuck it onto one of the wheel spokes, thereby punching the center out.
After getting the ship under control and returning to his snack, he noted that the doughnut tasted much better without the center portion which he had always found to be a little too undercooked and soggy. He therefore requested the ship’s cook to prepare his doughnuts with a hole in the middle. thereby inventing the ring doughnut.
