to think a ‘standard’ doughnut contains jam?

[MamaRaisingBoys]

If you were offered a doughnut without being told the type, what kind would you automatically think of?

I think jam is standard, dsis thinks a sugar ring doughnut.

Dh said a custard doughnut would come to mind first. Wtf?! I’m assuming he’s taking the piss

*a strawberry filling.

In answer to the question, I’d say no filling for standard.

Jam. Always jam. And always raspberry.

Fucking Morrison’s need to stop putting strawberry jam in their donuts. The weirdos.

And custard is the devil’s work.

Sainsbury’s do the best donuts.

But a regular donut is a ring donut with lots of sugar. Then you play the donut game

Ring, although I would prefer jam. A ring doughnut is a bit joyless really as it's missing jam/custard/ a central core of doughnut.

Just to be confusing, in NI a ring doughnut is called a gravy ring. But I would still assume that this was what someone meant by a standard doughnut. Ring shaped. No jam. Loads of sugar.

Ah, see that's been mentioned.

For me a jam doughnut springs to mind first but that said I do agree with those that say technically a doughnut is probably the ringed sugared kind..... but I need jam!

I would automatically think a jam doughnut.
But I do love a custard doughnut!

Have you been listening to the Fortunately podcast OP 😁

Sugar ring. Anything is a filling doughnut.

I would expect a jam doughnut whilst hoping it was going to be a custard one

For me it's a ring doughnut. Sorry op.

Ring doughnuts are utterly pointless, unless tiny, so fresh you can barely touch them and at the seaside with lots of cinnamon.

Proper doughnuts are jam filled ones.

And now I really, really need a doughnut! (A jam one!)

Where are all the horrified MNers shouting about the incorrect vulgar American spelling of doughnut as donut?

I am disappointed.

(BTW my assumption would be that it is a ring donut from Dunkin.)

No LongDarkTeatime have they been discussing doughnuts?

Glazed or maple glazed.

I'd say a jam doughnut was the standard one, who could even be bothered eating a plain ring.

They offered Anneka Rice a mini choc doughnut and she said exactly what you said in the OP.
Great podcast by the way, can really recommend it.

Ring doughnut.

Doesn’t the “nut” part of doughnut refer to the ring-shaped machinery part? (As in nut and bolt, but made of dough?)

I’ve never listened to a podcast and been thinking of giving one a go, so that’s the one I’ll go for thanks

My favourite is a cream doughnut (fresh cream & jam), but a standard doughnut is a sugar O ring doughnut.

A sugared/cinnamon sugared ring of deep fried dough.
