    I can walk into any donut shop and I already know what I want. If you can’t do that I suspect you’re some kind of foreign agent who isn’t familiar with what you might find in a donut shop.

    BTW, it’s apple fritters, and I’ll have three, thanks.

          In 1942? Not fair to compare modern habits with an isolated per-internet world.

            perhaps even moreso. the variations in dialects when going from village to another can be huge. I would guess that countries homogenized later than WW2

      To my eternal dismay, all the donut shops in my town stopped making buttermilk bars, so I have to go in with a “stretch” donut and have a safety donut (old-fashioned glazed) as my most likely order.

        My favorite bakery stopped making their bear claws.

        It was a cinnamon roll with home made maple frosting.

        Now I don’t go there, nothing is the same without my claws.

          It’s like an old-fashioned (usually glazed) more in a bar shape than a traditional donut shape. I would assume that they have buttermilk in the recipe, but I don’t don’t really know the specifics other than than they have a bit more of a “sour cream” tang than a regular old-fashioned.

      Nah bro, I want to be delighted. What is your specialty. What’s the best thing you make? Got anything weird? If it’s just standard fare or a chain place, I let the Whims of Fate guide my hand.

      If you got’em, I’ll take a Bismarck (or Boston Creme, whatever you want to call them, the chocolate covered cream filled one). If not, maybe you’re the type of donut shop that also has cinnamon rolls? No?

      Just a coffee, then, please.

      Haha, yes, apple fritters are the best, but the place by me makes them so big I only have to order the one.

        My shop makes big ones and little ones, but the big ones are always sold out by the time I drag my ass over there
