5 Wacky Dunkin' Donuts Menu Items from Around the World
Sure, we've all heard about Dunkin' Donuts' crazy dried pork doughnut in China, but it seems like there's a slew of strangely flavored doughnuts abroad, running the gamut from sweet to savory.

Fruit-flavored doughnuts aren't rare at all (the wild blueberry from Doughnut Plant and Donut Man's strawberry doughnut constantly have us salivating), but some flavors, like durian, sound like extreme adventures in eating.

And sure, Psycho Donuts may have something called the Dead Elvis doughnut, but that has nothing on the savory "Black Cheese Topping Donut" on offer in Indonesia.
Here, we've rounded up the craziest (some of them actually sound delicious) doughnut flavors we found from Dunkin' Donuts locations around the world. You'll hardly recognize these all-American staples abroad.

Mochi Ring Doughnuts
Where to get them: China, Korea, Thailand, Japan
What it is: Mochi, or glutinous rice, is actually delicious and deserves more credit than its name implies. Plus, the doughnuts tear apart in adorable rounds and come in flavors like green tea, chocolate, banana, and mango.
We imagine: All the goodness of mochi combined with the frosting of a doughnut. Just add ice cream.

Kai Young
Where to get them: Thailand
What it is: Apparently, this flavor is very popular in Asia, although it doesn't sound all that great. Dunkin' takes a traditional glazed doughnut, adds dried, shredded chicken, and tops it off with Thai chile paste.
We imagine: A weirdly sugary taco. Just add Sriracha.
Kolache
Where to get them: Texas
What it is: Obviously this doughnut isn't technically from abroad, but we figured we might as well toss in one strange, regional menu item. In Texas, Dunkin' Donuts serves kolaches, a treat often found in Czech bakeries. A typical kolache is a soft, sweet, yeasty roll filled with apricots, prunes, cheese, poppy seeds, or sausage. The Dunkin' version uses a cheesy smoked sausage link, which may not be weird, but doesn't usually come in a doughnut. Fill it with apricots and we've got another story.
We imagine: A slightly sweet hot dog wrapped in a super soft bun.
"Shake Shake" Munchkins
Where to get them: China
What it is: Basically, Dunkin' has taken doughnut holes and treated them like savory beignets. They come in flavors like "spicy, roast, and pizza," and are supposedly a "sweet/savory treat."
We imagine: Doughnut chips.

Wasabi-cheese and Seaweed-cheese
Where to get them: Singapore
What it is: No official word on what exactly these creations are, but we imagine they're pretty self-explanatory. Wasabi paste or dried seaweed and cheese on a doughnut? Hmm...
We imagine: Philadelphia sushi rolls (with cream cheese) are relatively popular in America, although not very traditional. Perhaps that's the appeal?
