For many people, the holidays mean crunchy, golden, deep-fried-delicious foods. Hanukkah is the festival of lights, but real ones know its really just as much about celebrating the oil that kept the lamps lit. That’s why we make latkes and sufganiyot (jelly donuts) every year.
But folks who celebrate Christmas don’t miss out on the frying fun—they deep fry all types of seafood for feasts of the seven fishes, and the holiday can also basically serve as an international do-over for anyone who messed up frying their turkeys over Thanksgiving.
