doughnuts...

[Smaug the Dragon]

Have you ever wondered why those balls of dough are called doughnut holes when they aren’t a hole? The doughnut is what has the hole.

Because they're a WHOLE doughnut.

I'm guessing because they are what created the holes of the doughnuts...and would otherwise fill that gap.

Ah, that makes sense.

Ever wondered why doughnuts are called gravy rings in Ireland?

I actually have...I'm guessing because they are what created the holes of the doughnuts...and would otherwise fill that gap.

Have you ever wondered where the 'nut' part of 'doughnut' comes from?

Nope...but now I am! Though it reminds me...the nutty doughnuts are good too...

Thanks for answering the question of the 'holes'!
As far as the 'nut' in the word 'doughnut', I've always thought that it came from the kind of nut in the phrase 'nuts and bolts'.
Because it's the only type of nut I know of that has a hole in the middle.

Definitely Krispy Kreme cream filled donuts!

Donuts from Tim Hortons are the best!!!!! I love them. I usually get boston creme but sometimes i get chocolate with chocolate glaze and sprinkles.

They most likely make them as plain bread, or maybe something a bit sweeter, then use it to sop up all the extra gravy when supper's finished from all the meat they eat... or something like that. Logically.

[bookworm]

Then it's not a doughnut, it's just a roll.

Just because they can....

What a random topic to start, TKD. *moves*

[Lee]

chocolate cake donuts. And what does this have to do with science?

[AOWarrior]

I love the plain chocolate bread ones with sprinkles and cream that is most yummy!

[bookworm]

I think this should be moved back because people are having serious discussion on this topic.
Apparently we didn’t know it was part of the Arc.

[The Kings Daughter]

Okay, we'll save the donut one..

[Parker Family]

Any kind of DONUTS ARE DELICIOUS
(NOW I AM REALLY HUNGER)
