What are donuts/doughuts?

We're having a deep work conversation about donuts with my colleague, and I was wondering what exactly is a donut :)
Mainly does it need to have the central hole or not?

We got some Image doughnuts and they were plain buns...

Thank you for your time, let's go back to work/youtube now.

See the similarity?

If it doesn't have a hole it must be filled.
They are usually sweet, deep-fried from a flour dough, and shaped in rings or flattened spheres that sometimes contain fillings.

The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote:

"A flute with no holes is not a flute...

"...and a doughnut

with no hole is a Danish."

He was a funny guy.

The glazed ones from Krispy Kreme are delicious.

But I've heard them call heart attacks waiting to happen. But dang they can be good.

Longjohn doughnuts don't have holes or filling.

It's one of those things, like how people refer to all tissue as kleenex sometimes. Doughnuts as a term probably only meant the ones with holes at first, but then people didn't want to come up with new names for the others.

That's just when you use glazed Krispey Kreme donuts as cheeseburger buns.

We'll have to remember that and give it serious thought before we make the decision whether to annex you into the Candexico empire. :wink:

(Is that the name I came up with before? Can't recall...)

Don't fool yourself one bit. As soon as global warming makes Mexico and the US uninhabitable all of us will be rolling over your boarders to annex your northern farmlands and recapture the seceeded state of Alaska. I'll be sure to stop by and say 'Hi!' as I roll by on my way up to my new home in Whitehorse. :wink:

Well -I guess it's a race to see what happens first, this global warming scenario you speak of, or China calling in the US's debt and Canada buying states for 10 or 12 bucks a piece at the bankruptcy auction! :shock:

You can have Georgia, Delaware and DC. As for the rest, them's fightin' words! (At least until they are uninhabitable). I demand PEI in compensation for the affront! :flags-usa: :violence-ak47: :flags-canada:

Instead of PEI how's about you take Quebec in advance? We want the states that are already practically Canadian anyways, Hawaii, Washington, and whichever other ones are cool, maybe California... you guys have too many for me to remember them all! Ooo, and whichever ones make that Cajun food. I like that stuff.

You can also take one of our Prairie provinces, half of Alberta would join the US right now if they had their say. It could become North Monatana or somesuch.

We want your oil, your uranium, your Pacfic port cities, your crop lands and your women, so we take BC, Alberta, everything up north and everything within 100 miles of the boarder. We'll give Quebec to the Walt Disney Corporation (they're the only ones, as far as I can tell, who can get French people to accept American institutions, plus it kinda looks disneyish there already). Hell, I guess we'd better get Manitoba and Ontario too, seeing as they have coastal access. And wherever your h hockey schools are, we get those too. You get the maritimes and Skatachewan, teh entire American south to Texas, Delaware, DC, and hell, Ill throw in Cuba too. At least until we want them back. You can also have Guam and the Northern Mariannas. I figure your population would fit there, plus, they're warm. How's that sound?

Only if we get Washington and Hawaii, and we keep BC. (other than BC and the Maritimes I don't care much!).

Nupe. Sorry. It's 310,000,000 vs. 34,000,000, and we're great at beating back your English masters. plus we can come at you from two sides. Your unique qualities and distinctiveness will be assimilated.
