It is deep fried in shortening, not oil. It is served hot, not cold. The sauce is made by old Italian ladies in the church kitchen, it isn't Ragu. Same with the dough. How do I know? That was the church I was baptised, confirmed and married in. I volunteered in that fried dough booth for years when I was in high school. I met my wife in that booth. She was stretching the dough and I was running the dough and sauce between the church and the booth. We started dating in the summer before senior year. That was 31 years ago. [/QUOTE]
