OK, that can be checked off of today's to-do list. (talking like a pirate). Or "Istaag oo keeni," which google translate claims is the Somali for "Stand and deliver." I tend to think of Somali pirates more often than 18th century brigands in the Caribbean.
There isn't a Krispy Kreme establishment nearby, as far as I know. They are offering a free glazed donut today to customers who either talk or dress like a pirate. I want a different oily thing. At the Lowell Folk Festival, I ate an item that was fried dough with chickpeas. It was from a Burmese charity group. Rummaging around the web, I think it was probably a version of Beq palata, with palata being a paratha cognate. I only found one recipe, which seems quite complicated (to me - probably not to people who are used to dealing with hot oil and dough). I could walk to Lexington center and take out a paratha from the Indian restaurant and stuff it with chickpeas at home, but since I want it *now* I will probably combine some frozen organic onion rings (deep fried batter being sort of like deep fried dough) with the chickpeas instead.
