1. Context PLEASE!!!!

I mean, if I'm at Dunkin Donuts, and I want something good, their cakes are pretty good. If at Krispy Kreme, hell the fresh plain glazed ones are good enough! Am I at Tim Hortons and am I having a beer? If so, Apple Fritter is the ONLY donut I can stomach with beer.

[HopeHoops]

2. E-GADS! Doughnuts with beer? You're either looking to ralph or get the shits. Even Apple Fritters.

Now CORN fritters I can see! But hey, there's not much room for context in a poll with only ten options. I tried to spread the options out as best I could.

I have enough trouble filling a box of 12 for the kids, and no, I never get one.

[Taverner]

9. You never spent time with a bunch of Canadians have you...

[HopeHoops]

11. Actually, yes. I've eaten in the Toronto Needle and been to Montreal's St. Catherine Street.

The latter was, um, entertaining.

On Edit: Both were business trips, but not without some free time.

[baldguy]

66. Timmy's sells beer?

Where?

[HopeHoops]

67. Timmy's?

Never heard of it.

[baldguy]

70. If you don't know who or what Timmy's is...

I find it hard to believe that you've ever been to Canada.

[HopeHoops]

71. I've been to Toronto and Montreal. That's it. The strip joints are good, but I never saw a Timmy's.

Maybe one of the strippers was named Timmy (female, mind you), but I don't remember. I was sort of drunk at the time.

[Brickbat]

42. That's how we spend the opening of hockey season, eating homemade doughnuts and back-bacon

sandwiches and drinking Molson. We do it during the high school tournament, too.

[HopeHoops]

43. Shits on ice?

[Brickbat]

44. Stomachs of steel.

[HopeHoops]

45. Or at least undies of steel with some REALLY absorbent material inside.

[Moondog]

3. Krispy Kreme.

The regular glazed. In the South, they are a Sacrament.

Their glazed blueberry ones are also worthwhile.

Dunkin Donuts, for me, are a distant second. They were all I was able to find in Boston, but I didn't live there long enough to "convert".

I've never been to a Tim Horton's, so I'm agnostic on that one.

[HopeHoops]

5. The best ones come from our local family-owned grocery store chain.

They bake them on-site. Dunkin' Donuts has central bakeries and send them out on trucks.

We also have a local (single location) bagel shop that makes the best bagels I've ever had anywhere, including New York City. Shit. Now I'm hungry for a bagel.

[treestar]

4. Frosted

Chocolate or pink icing

[dembotoz]

30. prefer white frosting with chopped peanuts

yum

[DearHeart]

6. Old Fashioned

[HopeHoops]

7. That would be "plain cake".

[Duer 157099]

12. I thought that was buttermilk?

[HopeHoops]

14. No, those would qualify for "frosted". I meant just plain cake. No toppings, no nothing.

[libodem]

49. That is what I like

I picked crulers cuz it seemed closest to old fashioned or buttermilk.

[DearHeart]

18. No, plain cake donut is just a regular round donut with nothing on it.

Old fashioned are like the picture in response to your reply. They're a much "heavier" and more dense cake and they look like they've cracked open. They can have glaze on it or not. I think in different parts of the country, they are called "buttermilk" donuts. Around here, they're called an old fashioned.

[HopeHoops]

32. What you described is at least what I had in mind by "plain cake". I can see the confusion...

... as the regular round donut is just a glazed with no glazing. They're at least not popular around here. The "old fashioned" is about all you see that's plain cake.

[DearHeart]

64. Things get really confusing for me sometimes, due to regional names

All I know is that I love donuts! The other one that I love is a Black Raspberry jelly...but can't find those very often, mostly strawberry, which I'm not partial to.

[oregonjen]

8. Maple bar with bacon on top from Voodoo Doughnuts. Yum!

http://voodoodoughnut.com/doughnuts.html

[HopeHoops]

10. E-FUCKING-GADS!

[flying rabbit]

13. For. The. Win.

With a plain maple bar the close second.

[HarveyDarkey]

15. I just drank & reviewed the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale last it

it was godawful. I hope the actual Voodoo Doughnut product is better.

[irisblue]

29. bookmarked that website

so which is your choice there?

[Spike89]

54. Work a block away from Voodoo (Eugene)

Not even close enough to work off the calories, but those are some delicious donuts...

[Populist_Prole]

16. Not sure of the type: Looks like a farm tractor big tire

[HopeHoops]

17. That's cruller.

[Populist_Prole]

28. Well whaddya know!

I've heard of crullers and always thought they were the ones that looked more like a long twisted thing. 50 years old and I still call my favorite doughnuts by the same term I did when I was 5.

[ashling]

19. Since you didn't mention the Beignet

I can't consider this a serious thread

but since you brought it up, Crispy Cremes are good when they are fresh out of the grease, but nothing compares to a just made Shipley's Donut - honey glaze - or any other glaze. Period.

[fizzgig]

21. i love beignets

i almost always get some when i hit the little cajun place in town for breakfast, fantastic with their homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam

[GoneOffShore]

20. Apple cider doughnuts.

That is all.

[kwassa]

22. The bagel type of doughnut.

[OriginalGeek]

23. Sopapilla with honey

maybe some sugar and cinnamon on it too.

I need clarification re: "creme" - there's a fluffy, bitter white filling that I hate and there's a silky, sweet, yellow pudding-like filling that I love. That stuff in a fresh donut with a chocolate dip on top is fighting hard for second place.

[Bucky]

24. When I see the words "dough nut" together, I think of Mitt Romney

also covered in sugar, hollow in the middle, and leaves a bad aftertaste

[mrmpa]

25. Anything from a local family owned bakery........

white iced crullers
crullers with jimmies,nuts or coconut
glazed cinnamon
glazed pretzel shaped doughnuts
french doughnuts
iced cake doughnuts
any fruit danish

I work the polls every election day and I order 2 dozen from this bakery for the workers. They are always ready @ 6 a.m. and are still warm

[petronius]

26. Glazed buttermilk bar... and a chocolate-covered old-fashioned...

Yeah, and toss in an apple fritter and a cinnamon roll.


And a maple bar. With bacon? Sure, why not - actually, one with and one without...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. What category is an apple fritter? Cruller, glazed, category of its own?

I like those the best.

[HopeHoops]

33. Fritters are in a class by themselves. I only had ten options to work with.

[sadbear]

35. I vote apple fritter.

[CBGLuthier]

31. Sausage Rolls

New shop opened by a lovely, older, Vietnamese couple and they make sausage rolls and the dough around them is soft and sweet and everything as it should be.

Otherwise something filled with lemon creme.

[HopeHoops]

34. I think lemon creme is my absolute favorite, with crullers being a close second.

[ywcachieve]

36. Apple Fritters, Oh my Lord. Those things ought to be declared a sin,

or illegal, they are SO delicious.

[HopeHoops]

37. My wife made corn fritters a few weeks ago. I was in heaven. Damn I love those things.

[ywcachieve]

48. I know exactly what you mean.

[HopeHoops]

50. (melt)

[Xyzse]

38. I placed the edge on Boston Kreme

I mean, Krispy Kreme glazed is awesome, but if it is in general, Boston Cream gets the edge.

I don't get them much though. Once in a Blue Moon for me.

[geardaddy]

39. Bear claw.

[HopeHoops]

40. I file that under "pastry".

[libodem]

51. Yup

I like a cream cheese Danish, since you mentioned pastry.

[We are Devo]

41. Maple bars! n/t

[benld74]

46. Glazed Cake Donuts

[IcyPeas]

47. Cruller. it has such a nice texture.

[barbtries]

52. it's actually a tie

one is on your list, but lemon filled is not.

[HopeHoops]

55. Well, technically "filled" counts.

[Lucy Fer]

53. The one in Krispy Kreme that looks like a Boston Creme

What's the name?

[HopeHoops]

56. Eclaires?

[Lucy Fer]

57. No I think it's Bavarian

Or something

[a kennedy]

58. I checked the glazed.....

and here's the best place for donuts in South Eastern MN. THE BEST PLACE. http://www.yelp.com/biz/bloedow-bakery-winona-2

[HopeHoops]

59. Never been to that state. Our local family-owned grocery chain has the best around here.

[cheezmaka]

60. French Crullers

from Duncan Donuts. Krispy Kreme Glaze second...

[AsahinaKimi]

61. krispy kremes

The only place I can find them is either Pier 39 or at the Giants Ball park.

[TwilightGardener]

62. Raised chocolate-frosted.

[trof]

63. Hot Krispy Kreme glazed.

Ambrosia!

[HopeHoops]

65. HOLY FUCKING DEEP FRIED DOUGH, BATMAN! I didn't think this thread would go THIS far.

Obviously glazed cake is winning, but MAN are DUers passionate about their doughnuts. Shit.

[baldguy]

68. I've always been partial to fastnachts.

Only available during Lent, though.

[HopeHoops]

69. Not a DOUGHnut. Ptttthhhh. But yeah, those are good. I'm not Christian, but I like them.
