I have too much self-respect to make the "check your hole privilege" joke post directly, but that don't prevent the oblique approach.

Some people just have more than others, Flying Dice. It's a right, not a privilege.  ;D

Can we at least agree that custard doughnuts are terrible though?
More for me.

I still get into debates with my wife over crullers.
She thinks that anything that is torus shaped is a donut, and I insist that the shape is not the important part, it's the actual make-up of what you are eating.

So, to me a cruller is not a donut, it is a cruller.
Doughnut-holes, on the other hand, are sad, delicious posers.

They're called Monks, not donuts, and everyone who calls them donuts should be hanged and quartered.

There is no such thing as a "donut". There are only doughnuts.

Here, if it's unsweetened and has no hole, it's a vetkoek. Otherwise, doughnut is used liberally.

I am a believer that donuts are defined by their taste, not their shape. Otherwise bagels would be donuts, and that would be silly.

A donut is always sweet.
This thing is sweet.
Therefore this thing is always donut.

There is no pastry, only donut.

No chocolate, just donut.

No cookie, cake, pie.

Donut.

A doughnought is any dough with a hole in it!
This includes Gugelhupf or your silly american bunt cake.

'course holeless donuts count as donuts, bro. In this world, anything can be a donut.
Even you. (presumably not, though)

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.
EDIT: Guantis, mayhaps?

... 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.

Think about, a US president who was actually a doughnut.

Ah, again I would like to say that until about 150 years ago (max, probably far less) ALL donuts where braided to facilitate cooking. Donuts with holes are rather new.

If you want to know why try cooking them both ways. Its far easier when its braided.
