A lot of happiness in our lives stems from the taste- does it not? The taste or the wholesome goodness of having a bite at our favourite meals. A great meal prepared by a mother’s nuanced kitchen-talent. The grandmother’s delightful delicacy and a loving meal made with much love by one’s man of romance- it’s the simple pleasures of life that attribute us so much joy. Great taste, in fact, has the power to make or break a fun experience. It’s one of the finest sensory delights of our lives, isn’t it?
But what if two divergent tastes that were in polarised directions- one toward a sugary delight and the other in a more appetising direction- were to convene? How would that interesting mishmash be?
For starters, the mere idea of combining a sweetened offering with a regular tasting item would be a pretty weird idea, don’t you think? But in a world where experimentation and creativity are becoming the backbone of the F&B culture, quite like the importance of sushi to Japanese cuisine, nothing can remain unexpected.’
It’s quite unbelievable to suggest the mere idea that someone found to his utter delight, a melange of chicken nuggets and doughnut. Can you dig that, rather, let it be asked slightly differently- would you be interested to dig that?
Essentially, combining the sweetened offering of one of the world’s favourite snacks and the delight of a chicken nugget- the world is swaying to the beats of a donug- regardless of how strange it may sound. Food trends are always curiously exciting for connoisseurs of a great taste and for the longest time.
It almost seems like the next ambitious mega food innovation is here.
There are traditional eaters. There are those who don’t mind experimenting a bit. Then, there are those who, quite simply, thrive on experimentation. Anywhere you go and regardless of time, place or geography, there is this funny feeling that one’s quietly biting away at a doughnut. Lovers of non-vegetarian food cannot keep themselves away from chicken nuggets, it’s such a tempting add-on as an appetiser, perhaps, among the finest little meals one could ever have in mainstream food.
But now is the time of the donug. And given the reception it’s already generated, it seems this particular innovation is going to outlast the changing vagaries of time. Even the Internet (or the World Wide Web) has begun to run in circles behind this trendy food item.
And truth be told, the preparation of a donug isn’t a complicated task either. A chicken nugget in the shape of a doughnut that has the scrumptious taste on the one hand and the sweetened, spongy, taste on the other- is precisely the current famous innovation going around. To make the aforementioned, all one’s gotta ensure is to provide the classic doughnut ring with panko crumb added with some cornflake cover. Then, all that’s needed is to deep-fry it.
And there one has it- the donug is ready. In order to make the donug even more interesting, what one could simply do is to resort to as many as 3 interesting styles (or variants).
With an option of 3 choices, a donug can be tried with a cheesy option of Dijon bechamel, hot chilli or the Asian version of golden Japanese curry with Mozzarella. But while you know by now what exactly the donug is and the kind of taste it offers, one’s got to know about the creator behind the latest sensation in the realm of food.
Can you take a guess about the nationality of this famous and rapidly growing delicacy in the West? Well, let’s dispense with silly quizz games and come straight to the point. The donug is actually the creation of a Scottish man- Crag Carrick- who now lives in Australia.
And here’s the best part about the latest culinary wonder. A donug actually costs something as low as £5 a pop. That’s pretty much it. Interestingly, his version of the donug- it was revealed recently- had around 98 per cent of chicken.
So did that mean, it was mostly all chicken nugget in the form of a doughnut- who’s to know?
But the ecstatic inventor of the Donug shared the following in a recent media interaction that surfaced on the Internet,”It’s about getting Donugs sold at every sporting ground, every service station, every fish and chip shop.
“I want this to be the crazy new food trend coming out of Melbourne.”
He added: “I’m giving something that’s fun, it’s easy to understand, people get it straight away.”
