Doughnut Observation Network and Undercover Tasting (DONUT) Team

Congratulations to Lily, who is now an official Doughnut sleuth in the DONUT team. She sent this report back from Germany via Goleta:

Thought you'd enjoy an unusual doughnut discovery in Germany: we discovered these "schneeballen", translation: "snow balls" while walking around Rothenburg. One of the cutest little towns ever. Apparently these are the local specialty there, and every other store is a schneeballen bakery. “Rothenburg ob der Tauber” is the official city name and all Germans seems to know that schneeballen come from there. Anyway they're large balls of fried dough strips with chocolate or nougat mixed in there to hold the ball togetherand then covered in chocolate or powdered sugar. Cuter to look at than the actual dry taste. But cute nonetheless.

Thanks for the information Lil! As the first member of the DONUT team you are by default the team leader. We will discuss your responsibilities later although they are mostly ceremonial. Keep the tips coming in, kids.
