The doughnut debate

It's a cake, right?

These people who say it's a pastry are clearly crazy people.

Bread supporters? Two slices short of a picnic.

Here at Misery blog, we call em like we see em.

Doughnuts are cakes, dammit.

It's like saying square vs rectangle - all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

Likewise, all cake donuts are donuts but not all donuts are cake donuts!

DONUTS! TAKE THAT!

Damn. Now I want some donuts and I can't go get any because I lost my voice. Argh!

I agree with the square vs. rectangle argument.

Cakes are baked, donuts are fried, and therefor are fritters.

Cheesecake, cake or pie, debate.

I stand by my spelling tyvm :)

Now what on earth's a yeast doughnut? Do you mean BAGELS?

And as for FRITTERS...

The square/rectangle argument is a good one, it had me stumped. But my argument rests on cake being a higher kingdom of food than doughnut. A square is a rectangle, but both are four-sided shapes.

I am on a Victorian-style mission to classify all food groups. In my system, cake is a phylum, and doughnuts belongs firmly (squarely!) in it :)
