On Eid al-Fitr, after 30 days of fasting, many American Muslims treat themselves to doughnuts, a favored choice for marking the holiday. Saagar Shaikh, an actor, expresses his eagerness for Krispy Kreme doughnuts after Eid prayers. Celebrants enjoy these treats at mosques, often catered from popular local bakeries, facilitating community bonding and enjoyment. Doughnuts are popular for their affordability, ease of catering, and compatibility with the morning coffee following a month of fasting. This trend showcases the integration of traditional religious celebrations with modern American food culture.
As soon as Eid prayers are over, Saagar Shaikh is on a mission: My eyes scan the room, and I'm looking for the nearest Krispy Kreme box, because that's what I'm conditioned to do.
It’s not Eid unless there’s doughnuts, said Sharaf Mowjood, a producer for CBS News. This is just the beginning that doughnut sets the tone for the rest of the day.
