Donut is just an American variation of tbe spelling, and consideeing they're talking about what Americans call this, donut is perfectly acceptable, and maybe even a more correct usage than the doughnut spelling

Am I the only one that finds the whole "fake British words" genre of meme painfully unfunny?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

You have to say snoggletarts out loud with a British accent.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe if Brits would stop saying ridiculous things lol

You go enjoy your hushpuppies, elephant ears, bear claws, snickerdoodles and hootenannies.

I think you could even convince English people that "merry fizzlebombs" and "upsy stairsies" are some kind of regional slang. Might even get away with "breaddystack" or "rickedy-pop" if you play your cards right.

Munchkins. Idc if they aren't from Dunkin'.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

Grew up near a Dunkin.

They Munchkins and donut hole purists can shove it.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 56 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

In the UK these are called doughnuts.

The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.

Calling something that has zero holes a 'donut hole', will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho...

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

But how do you differentiate between a doughnut ( o ) and a doughnut o. I'd be so pissed if I asked for a doughnut and someone handed me this tiny shit.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

One without a hole is a doughnut. One with is a doughnut ring.

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The nut in the word is to already show that it is in a nut shape. So it would be doughball and doughnut.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago

What part of the UK are they called doughballs? ive never heard them called that.

Only reference I can think of is Pizza express' dough balls, but they're a savoury dough ball rather than sweet like a doughnut.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

It's called a doughnut hole because it's implied to be the piece of dough that was punched out to make a regular circular doughnut that has a hole in it.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Oh I understand that. I was just being facetious; my point was more to do with the definition of a hole, and how it's used here to describe something that definitely is not a hole.

If we're pedantic, then the doughnut hole is the middle bit of the original doughnut, now that this part has been punched out.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Doughnuts are typically made from a straight piece of dough shaped into a circle, not a hole punched.

Doughnut holes are usually just bits of the dough, prior to forming into a circle, that's cut up and fried

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

This is not always correct

To be honest, they should be called "Donut Plugs"

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Make sure yours are flared before you eat them or they could get stuck

If these were British, they’d be coated in granulated sugar and called doughnut… balls? Just tiny doughnuts? I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t want to put jam in the middle or dip them in chocolate.

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Nah man, Brits would split them in half and spread a mixture of marmite and clotted cream on them.

Half of the population would call them "Yorkie balls" and the other would insist they're just scones.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Crikey! Sugared chimney sweep nuts!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

In Japan they’re just doughnut balls. Mister Donut calls them “pops.”
