Growing up in the US as a religious Jew, I never ate sufganiyot. I always wondered about the sufganiyot phenomenon in Israel, and figured it was simply an "Israelism". That is until my wife's family from/in the US (2nd generation) served "bumeulos", the Ladino term (Judea-spanish-turkey/rhodes...) for fried donuts (sufganiyot), on Chanukah (click!). Indeed, a Sephardic v. Ashkenazik variation of the same oil theme using local ingredients available to them. I remember my grandfather's stories on what they went through to get decent bread/flour in eastern europe (potatoes, apparently were not an issue). Very true.
