The other night Mom told me some people at her work were talking about a message board for fans of Spuduts. I kind of forgot about it until today. As many of you know I've had a lot of complications from my wisdom teeth extraction. I'm dreaming of eating 'real' food after a week of soft food and no telling how much longer since I have an inch of exposed bone in my mouth which has to heal on its own :(
Also for back story, Spudnuts are the single greatest breakfast food of all time. There is a shop in ElDorado and in Magnolia. As I've lived all over Louisiana and Arkansas when I meet someone from ElDorado, within 5 minutes we are talking about Spudnuts. A Spudnut, for the uninformed, is a doughnut made with potato flour. It is sweet and delectable and melts in your mouth. Some people try to compare them to a hot Krispy Kreme, but although Krispy Kreme is a quality food it is no Spudnut.
I read the forums and there are actually 35 Spudnut shops still up and running with most of them in California. It was an actual chain from mid 20th century and these guys are left over from that era. There is even a Spudnut museum in Indiana (I'm not joking).

I found a post by a lady in ElDorado that said there was a dispute with Yahoo! Answers over the "First" Spudnut shop. The simple thought of some Yahoo! software engineers arguing over the Spudnut origin cracks me up and has made me smile at a time that it hurts to smile-literally ;)
