One of the most important American commemorative days is happening today, with free doughnuts galore ! — _ **Not** _ to be confused with America’s **National Doughnut Day** , which is, of course, on 5th November, after All Hallows, and is an altogether different celebration ( although equally important ) — Yesterday, I was reading up on unique American cuisine, including Deep-Fried Beer ( Texas ), Deep-Fried Butter ( Iowa ), Deep-Fried Kool-Aid Balls ( California ), Deep-Fried Jelly Beans ( Massachusetts ), Fat Elvis on a Stick [Peanut Butter, Bacon and Chocolate in Banana Butter, Deep-Fried] ( Wisconsin ), Deep Fried Sugar Cubes ( Texas ), A Cheeseburger with Deep Fried bacon, Deep Fried Pickles, and Two Grilled Cheeses as the bun ( New York ), etc., which was impressive an’ all; so I was delighted to find a non-specifically American food being honoured by a grateful nation. The influential [NJ.COM](http://NJ.COM), detailing New Jersey culture has an article on this auspicious day, [**giving more details**](http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/06/where_to_get_free_doughnuts_on_national_doughnut_d.html). I am sure an enterprising lad or ladette could bicycle around the neighbourhood and accumulate 100 free doughnuts in a few hours, enough for the weekend. According to that paper, Philadelphia is ironically named [**America’s Angriest City**](http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/06/philly_named_nations_angriest_city.html#incart_most-read_entertainment_article). Perhaps the doughnuts will help… ---

A doughnut company brought boxes and boxes to my office. It’s good to work in media. ---
