Hooded Crow is probably right, the right word would be a berliner, I forgot about it. We use donut for both the things you are describing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the savory round bakery good with a hole? Or can doughnuts be both sweet and savory and bagels as well? I’m rather lost now. Could one of you good people from the US help me out, please? What I know is that here a traditional doughnut is always sweet and doesn’t have a hole, the jam filling is placed in the little crate formed on the top like so. If it has a hole, it’ll be labeled an “American doughnut”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Doughnuts here in the USA are always sweet, and have a hole in the middle. Buns, made from the same sort of dough as what we call Raised Doughnuts, without the hole, with filling, are called "buns" -- at least in the Prussian-Polish-Swedish community outta which we came, and in which all the women made raised doughnuts, cake doughnuts and filled buns, glazed with a confectioner sugar icing.

Jelly donuts and Boston cream donuts don't have holes. I have never seen them called buns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoodedCrow Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I posit that a Timbit is a Canadian delicacy that goes with double/ double. And now we have a dialect problem:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell is "g" pronounced like that? The word looks like it should be pronounced with "g" as in "gem". Ours don't have jam on top, but inside them, otherwise they look roughly the same.

BigFatCoward Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 When we buy punishment donuts at work, you buy one box of the good ones ( stuffed full of extra calories) and one box of original i.e. bullshit basic ones with a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Boston Cream donuts are the fucking bidness and I am sad that I haven't had one in a while coz there isn't anywhere that sells them near me that I can be sure the chocolate is fair trade/utz.

A True Kaniggit Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Ya’ll are making me miss Krispy Kreme. The donut places around here suck and I refuse to buy donuts from them. (Though I will purchase kolaches every now and then. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkdaub Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The best donut is the one that is lightly glazed and has the cream filling. Not the custard shit but the cream that is like whipped cream and frosting put together. Your teeth will fall out with every bite but it's more than worth it.

Raja Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Every time I watch Inside Job ( the one about the 2008 financial crisis, not the spike lee film), I get angry. You look at all these big banks & executives that basically ran a ponzi scheme and laughed all the way to the bank and into some of the highest public offices in the US both during republican and democratic administrations. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it blows my mind how something like this could happen. Why would you ever need a live round on a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
