Japan: An-doughnut
- The Japanese analogue of our American donut is the An-doughnut, fried dough with a red bean-paste filling. If you want to snag one while visiting Tokyo, head to country-wide chain Mister Donut. If you want to snag one stateside... um, good luck? This should keep you busy while you save up for a trans-Pacific flight.
- It's hard to narrow down the popularity of Buñuelos to one South American country, as this diminutive pastry rules the entire continent. They're thinly rolled balls of yeast dough, often soaked in anis, and filled with sweet or savory filling, and present in almost every country in Central and South America. Most importantly, Buñuelos are known as a sign of good luck and fortune. A rule that should apply to all donuts -- international and domestic.
