donut nachos

This is just a photo found online. We haven’t tried this idea yet, but will post an update when we do. Just wanted to add a picture here, because, donuts are delicious. And talking about food is better with pictures.

If you think about the title wrong, it might sound gross. So if it sounds gross, you have the wrong image. 🙂 Perhaps we need a new name, but we have to start somewhere.

The idea started when I was having lunch with the Buffet o’ Blog staff. One of the guys ordered pork nachos. Later the conversation turned to donuts. We had the idea of making a dish like nachos but instead of chips, start with donuts. Have bite-sized pieces of donuts, then add chunks of bacon and/or sausage, and instead of cheese, pour icing over the top. Or you could put chocolate gravy over it.

I’ve never seen or heard of anyone doing this, but it sounds like it would taste great. Perhaps some research is in order… Update: I did a quick search, and it has been done, but the pictures I saw weren’t as awesome as what I’m imagining, so we should still attempt this someday.

Someone mentioned the idea of putting gravy on it. I don’t know… I’d try it, but I’m not sure how the sweetness would work with the gravy. Also, to be clear, this is referring to Southern-style gravy, made from sausage grease.

What do you think about the idea? And what would you call it?

What's on your mind?
