Hang the mistletoe, light the menorah and … fire up the deep fryer? Your mission this week is to eat
something fried — and if it’s holiday-themed or part of a holiday celebration, all the better. Latkes and
other fried treats are a given for Hanukkah, but there are other holiday traditions that involve frying things.
In Italy, for example, it’s just not Christmas without some little donuts called frittelle. In Japan,
families celebrate Christmas with fried chicken, while in the Southern United States, deep-fried
turkey is de rigueur. What fried foods will you enjoy at this indulgent time of year?

MISSION INSPIRATION
Gastroposter Cherrie Tam served up these crispy quinoa cakes “with uber garlicky tzatziki” for her fried holiday season treat. She even managed to
sneak some vegetables into the mix.
