One of the synonyms for Hanukkah in recent years is "Calorie Holiday," and quite rightly so if you think about it.

In addition to the menorah and candles, the holiday is characterized by a variety of high-calorie foods on the purity of frying and dough.

It is well known that the donut is the flagship dish of the holiday, but fried dough with a special filling is not an exclusive invention of us Israelis. 

Quite a few testimonies "hold" their own version of the national dish of the holiday, each with its own unique style.

In honor of the holiday, we have collected recipes for four "ethnic donuts" for you: Greek locomotives, Polish ponchiki, Italian "bomba" and Romanian papanche.

Appetite!
