You kidding? Any doughnuts takes about a day to make and I dont have money for packaging.
Or for shipping.

[Singularity125]

Can we at least agree that custard doughnuts are terrible though?

Are you telling me you DON'T like the artery-clogging goodness that is the Boston Creme donut?! For shame. 

Really though, if it's tasty enough and claims to be a donut, then it's a donut. Crullers are good too, and I consider those donuts.

@title: Absolutely. If not, even a Berliner would be a doughnut.

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

Good to see I'm not the only one who had that line of thought.

Of course donuts don't need holes to be donuts. That would just be incredible silly and pretentious.

SHAME ON YOU
I mean have you ever tried a jam filled krof or anything like it?
The "american" donut isn't bad, but I naturally have bias for krof since they're the local product.

Doughnut-holes, on the other hand, are sad, delicious posers.

'round here they're called Timbits.

We have the best coffee and doughnut chain.

Those look like berliner to me. Nothing wrong with that.

Jelly/custard donut == Berliner == Krofi == Sufganiyot, it all just depends what language you are speaking and what country you are in.

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

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.

Stereotypical donuts are toroids. You'll notice, however, 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.

I think you win.

Berliners are donuts. That is all.

Berliners are donuts. That is all.

In fact, half of Germany appears to be edible.

And delicious.

Sorry if I'm derailing the derail, but if no one answered the topic question, then...

Originally, no donuts had holes. Then Captain Hanson Gregory got ahold of his mom's donuts, which were undercooked in the middle. He cut a hole out of the center, lo and behold, modern donuts.

I'm not sure what to think of this thread apart from A) I'm not surprised at all that it would be derailed, B) I do not visit the local bakery enough, and 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.
