Pork donuts may not be palatable to Americans or Europeans, but the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and the Baskin-Robbins ice cream chains is catering to local tastes in China, where it aims to open another 100 stores in the next two to three years.

Dunkin' Brands Group Inc (DNKN.O) also announced a multi-year marketing agreement on Monday with National Basketball Association star LeBron James, who has a big following of Chinese fans. The company now has about 150 stores in China, the world's second-largest economy.

"Donuts are a very flexible product. You can do savory donuts, you can do donuts with shredded pork -- that's in China," Chief Executive Officer Nigel Travis told Reuters in an interview.

"We also have a range of other savory products that we have been testing and introducing country by country."

If they used fresh pork, I bet they could be pretty amazing. I wonder how they'll be prepared.

It's a good thing they are using pork as their main ingredient in donuts, I'd try one of those donuts for the sake of putting some heated controversies here off my brain. In Taiwan here, we are plastered with American beef and H5N2 influenza issues.
