I can Fedex a pile to you in Framingham. Sugar or tomato sauce and cheese?

Is the dough fried or baked? It looks a lot like pizza. It looks tasty though!

Deep fried in the oil seen in front of the women in the second picture. The dough is the same as pizza dough. I don't normally eat fried food, but I have one of these suckers each year and then also fried clam cakes at Aunt Carrie's in Point Judith, Rhode Island. You can see and read about those here:

Oh yum! Those look really good too.

I hear you on the fried food thing. I try to stay away from it but sometimes you just got to have it.

That looks absolutely heavenly.

I'm hoping to get to the Chicago St. Rocco's parade tomorrow. It's in Chinatown, of all places, but that's where the Italians and Chinese immigrated to in the late 19th century. Plus, that's where the St.Rocco Society of St.Therese Church is.

Gee, I bet they have doughboys too.

katierysz August 19 2006, 15:27:10 UTC

I hope so!

so is doughboy just a rhode island name for fried dough, or is it different? I've never heard it called doughboy in CT.

I can't verify with any scholarship that it is purely a Rhode Island name, Derek. I'm sure they are called that in other places as well. I like to make my own version which follows that of my mamma. Take a piece of risen bread dough, roll it out into a saucer-shape, put a hole in the center, pan fry it in about a quarter-inch of nice oil, a couple of minutes on each side. Eat as is or use it as a wrap for roasted peppers. Roasted-pepper and doughboy sandwiches are tops! Do you know someone named Greg Blake at Emerson? By sheer coincidence he requested a film from me that was discussed on the film_stills community the other day and I offered to send him a copy.

When I was a kid, my parents would take pizza dough that had risen and tear it into strips and deep fry it. Our job (my brother and I being too young to use the stove) was to take the fried dough and put it in a paper bag with sugar and shake it.

Good lord was that heavenly. Fried dough with sugar on it. Seriously. Does it get much better?

It seems similar to a doughboy, but what we made were more like fat strips of dough instead of saucer-shaped dough.

Fried dough in any shape is freaking good.
