On the other hand I've never heard of a round shaped 'doughnut' with no hole and nothing inside of it.These are... pretty common here, actually.
Especially for mini-donuts (donut holes) which are still totally donuts.
But they are nothing compared to the pure delicious of lemon-like-gel-substance-filled donuts. Mmmmm....The best thing I've ever done to a donut was cut a plain glazed one in half (long ways, basically like a bagel.), and then stick each half on top of a slice of pizza and microwave it a few seconds. Donut pizza was glorious. One of these days I'm going to sugar glaze me a pizza.
A churro, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut
As I have just eaten a donut I feel that I have acquired a small amount of temporary expertise on the subject - a thinning in the metaphorical membrane separating man- and donut-kind.
Can we at least agree that custard doughnuts are terrible though?No.
And on the language thing, note that while New England English is closer to traditional English, many other American dialects are... well, significantly further away than British English is. America is a big place with a lot of variation!I believe he was referring to the American/British English spelling split (which originated with the publication of the first major dictionaries; modern British English is more or less in line with Johnson's spellings, American English with Webster's).
A geometric "doughnut" or any "doughnut" in math must have a hole in it.Are we going the math route? Let's go the math route.
So yes, the variations all count. Quod Erat Doughnut.Hear hear!
... what, you've never ate part of a donut, and then stuck the rest through another donut's hole and consumed the lot of it? Thread the doughneedle of conspicuous consumption, Darvi!It would be far too tempting to get all suggestive with it while eating in public.
a small fried cake of sweetened dough, typically in the shape of a ball or ring.So, yes. Timbits (donut holes for you non-Canadians) count.
What if the dough is in the shape of a knot?Pretzel.
Can we at least agree that custard doughnuts are terrible though?More for me.
Yeah me neither, I only know that we have them every year or so and that they don't taste that good even with all the powdered sugar.The bit about the powdered sugar makes me think that you're thinking of some variation off of fried dough. But eh, could be wrong, though.
... what, you've never ate part of a donut, and then stuck the rest through another donut's hole and consumed the lot of it? Thread the doughneedle of conspicuous consumption, Darvi!I have stuffed a donut hole into a donut before. I didn't know what I was expecting: for it to magically meld into the donut and take on its properties? No, I ended up with a slightly-squashed donut with a donut nibble in the middle.

@title: Absolutely. If not, even a Berliner would be a doughnut.Good to see I'm not the only one who had that line of thought.
Think about, a US president who was actually a doughnut.

Doughnut-holes, on the other hand, are sad, delicious posers.
Of course donuts don't need holes to be donuts. That would just be incredible silly and pretentious.Those look like berliner to me. Nothing wrong with that.@title: Absolutely. If not, even a Berliner would be a doughnut.SHAME ON YOU

I mean have you ever tried a jam filled krof (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krofi) or anything like it?
The "american" donut isn't bad, but I naturally have bias for krof since they're the local product.
Jelly/custard donut == Berliner == Krofi == Sufganiyot, it all just depends what language you are speaking and what country you are in.Of course donuts don't need holes to be donuts.

Yeah it's like as you dig deeper into Chinese food you recognize that it's basically just sweet Mexican food.what chinese food are you eating

Stereotypical donuts are toroids. You'll notice, however (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus), that a torus with an axis of revolution that approaches zero degenerates into a 2-sphere, which for our purposes is functionally a sphere (second pic on the right). Or in this case, a donut hole. Even better, a torus where the axis of revolution is less than the radius of the circle is a spindle torus (sixth pic on the right), which can be seen to include a space in the middle that could possibly hold filling. Some sort of mathematically-exact custard, perhaps.
So yes, the variations all count. Quod Erat Doughnut.
Berliners are donuts. That is all.In fact, half of Germany appears to be edible.
C) if you're going to link me to the wikipedia page where 4-dimensional torus(es?) are portrayed, I think its time we start talking about 4 dimensional donuts.

Why do you think probability is a metadimension and not just a human construct like honor and justice?
boiled donutsYou mean... bagels?
... I'm not saying I've ate bagels with powdered sugar, but...
Joke's on you, holey donuts can also have fillings.I often find out the hard way after biting into a doughnut that I was sure had no filling.
Those are bagels, from what I've heard.I know what bagels are. I consume large quantities of them with a variety of fillings. No, I want sweet, sweet donuts with my bacon. I also want bacon with my bagels, but that's a different matter entirely. Bacon and crumpets sounds good, actually...
Here in Poland we have 'pączki' which is deep-fried sweet dough ball, fist-sized, with a jam or marmalade filling inside. The most common (and cheapest) ones are with rosehip or strawberry jam.They...actually do the same thing here, but it's Fat Tuesday, not Thursday. For one week, it's like, "Fucking pączkis everywhere! Four hundred for a dollar!" and then you don't see them again for a year.
And we have 'Fat Thursday'. It's a thursday before Ash Wednesday, thusly a week before the Easter Lent starts. During that Thursday, the bakeries make a ton of 'pączki' and sell them cheap. I think the tradition stems from the time when bakeries had to get rid of all the lard and jam before Lent, so they began making these.
If you know what you're doing, you can get up to 10 'pączkis' for less than...

I really like this thread *_* Math math math
Okay, and on the actual topic of discussion, where the fuck do you guys get reasonable doughnuts? The ones I've had around here were all from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts, and so bad I pretty much decided not to eat them any more because I philosophically am Pro Filled Doughnut but then all the fillings seem to be made out of some sort of soft plastic or something, because that sure as hell is not jelly.
Help?
-snip-We have Fettdonnerstag/Altweiber, basically the same thing - but here, the women storm the city hall. It's traditional~

I believe that a proper donut must have some sort of cavity, whether filled or not. Beyond this, I'm not sure.All things have cavities.

Around here, I prefer Donut Crown. So far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be a chain, I only remember having ever seen 1 employee, and it closes by noon. For a local place to succeed in paying their rent while selling only donuts and such, they pretty much have to be good.
Help?
Yeah, some days, I'd feel like trading my universal health care for donuts shops would be a sound decision.Alas, it's very nearly a Catch-22. Universal Health Care is one of those things that donut shops drastically increase the value of.
Yeah, some days, I'd feel like trading my universal health care for donuts shops would be a sound decision.I would trade all the donuts ever for universal health care. Seriously.
I'm awaiting my delivery of infinite doughnuts. Then I shall feast, and grant you universe health care. And it'll need it with all the diabetes I'll be racking up.You could say that the size of health care that you would require would be ...
I just have a bakery around the corner.So if you don't like custard, that puts you
Pretty good. Though they only do the plainest of doughnuts. Jam and custard only.
Hell no. Ever seen a jelly filled donut? (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A2BCobQwk70/UCwUA1VGmYI/AAAAAAAAAgE/RaIkyAfZNho/s1600/JellyDonutXL.jpg)
From what I've seen of Bay12, I'd be surprised if the discussion didn't take at least 10 pages before it ended, derailing included.Hell no. Ever seen a jelly filled donut? (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A2BCobQwk70/UCwUA1VGmYI/AAAAAAAAAgE/RaIkyAfZNho/s1600/JellyDonutXL.jpg)
Why do we need nine pages of discussion, this was literally settled in the first reply. You can't argue with the jelly.
Well, we're only one or two posts away from 10 pages on the default view. I am impressed though; these discussions normally top out between 3 and 7 pages.From what I've seen of Bay12, I'd be surprised if the discussion didn't take at least 10 pages before it ended, derailing included.Hell no.

You have donut shops?
That's...outrageousawesome.
Well, we do, but they are few and far between. I have to drive...40 minutes to get to one, I think? And they mostly do fruit pies and the like. I don't think they have any savory ones.If they just do fruit pies, they are definitely not the sort of thing I'm talking about. Would be like going to a donut shop and only finding crueler. It's like "Okay... err, this... wasn't really what I was hoping for during my visit to the donut shop..."
Jelly donuts still have holes they are just small and instead of filled with air they are filled with delicious jelly.
Still hard to get good savory pies, though.Savory pies? What madness is this?
It's like a pot pie, only not horrifyingly awful. The one described just above sounds awesome. You can also make a good one with chopped beets, carrots, celery, and onion held together with ground beef inside a pie crust.Still hard to get good savory pies, though.Savory pies? What madness is this?
Anything from fapping to typing to sitting on the toilet! (efficiency ho!)And once you get up, there are plenty more opportunities!
It's also lasted 9 days, which is something pretty cool. I think maybe donuts are something people secretly have strong opinions about. Like dusting, children, and Aqizzar's green five o'clock shadow.But unlike dusting and shadows, you can actually eat donuts.
