Donuts from Corfu
In Corfu there was a custom to make donuts, which come from a Venetian cake, which the locals used to call pancakes. This custom was observed from the feast of St. Demetrius until December 11, the eve of the feast of St. Spyridon, the patron saint of the island. All these days the cantonments were flooded with the delicious aroma of fresh donuts (pancakes of Agios)!
So in his honor, the housewives made donuts on the stove and on the gas stoves and the street vendors, on the fogers and the foufoudes. Tradition wants the people of Corfu, on the eve of the Saint, to do the begion, that is, all night, in His church. So, in order to deal with the fatigue, the drowsiness and the suffering of the vigilant, they eat donuts in the light and in the flame from the lit lighters. This custom has nowadays calmed down, the people of Corfu continue whenever they are given the opportunity, in shops or in houses to eat donuts and remember the Saint.
