Don’t you mean “Doughnut” !!!
Your obedient s etc

My dear M. Eagle,
I’m afraid that it’s pretty much donut in the colonies now, although Krispy Kreme (the best damn doughnut anywhere, incidentally) persists with the spelling ‘doughnut.’ I can fogive them for that, given the sensation of a hot, fresh, glazed Krispy Kreme melting in one’s mouth like a yeasty bite of cotton candy.
On second thought, that’s rather pronographic . . . .
pornographic.
Damn, my fingers are going . . . .
Dear Senor Frontier Future Editor
You seem understandably over-whelmed by such a Doughnut prospect
England was once the envy of many less happier lands
Now we have Cruella de Blair’s husband …. and not even the compensation of Krispy Kreme meltings ….

You beotch! Now I must run to the store and snag a chocolate donut! Temptress!!!!
PS I think I’m the new caffeine donut.
Hey, I am a caramel crunch, too! Does this mean we can eat each other?
apart from the result of the quiz I have in mind a ten foot pole…….never mind…..
I am simply a plain glazed…….universally liked…….so right.
Meinheer Eagle: It is a little known fact that the Lower Colonies broke from Mater Magnum Ingleterra after the Mother Nation refused to supply doughnuts for a tea party held in Boston. This led, indirectly, to the conviction and deportation for sedition of a number of prominent pastry-makers, including the young Dick Horton, whose great-[...]-great grandson would go on to play a mean game of hockey, and turn the secret family recipe into the chain that now regards not Krispy, nor Country Time, nor Robin’s, but McDonald’s, as their major competition in Canada.
However, members of the Loyal Guild of Oddly-Shaped Pastry-Makers and Pretzellers were forbidden, for many years, from practicing their craft within the British Isles, leading to the defecit of squat cylindrical treats. Little-known fact: It was only under a special license granted by King George VI to a merchant trader that Lifesavers were first permitted on the Albion shore–and until 1942 their sale remained forbidden in inland areas.
FFE: Krispy Kreme is a plot to sublimivate the blogstubephere. By coating those monstrous fat pills in sugar they have enstickened your hands, making keyborads unweilding and incontrovertoperative.
Damn … they got me too. Carry on the Revolution without me, and we’ll meet back at Timmy’s.
I didn’t take the quiz, as I got stuck at #2 due to the lack of “Tim Horton’s” among the answers.
Hmm, Stiletto and Rain . . . some donut-on-donut action? . . .
I circled in on the quiz joyfully. I was ready to identify own sweet little haloed hole when I got stuck on not being able to find my favourite beverage coffee, sans sugar.
“No problem,” I thought as I read on. Then I bawked - WTF! no Tim Horton’s ! I think I would have been maple flavoured but now I’ll never know for sure. boo! hoo!
Tim Hortons: wholly-owned subsidiary of Wendys.
‘
ahhhhhh
Doughnuts
Strawberry Jam doughnuts
ahhhhhh
Tim Horton’s: Wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dave Thomas Group, near-inarguably the most ethical foodcorp out there.
And the point is that it’s my choice of doughnut shop, and while I might go to KK or Robin’s in the absence and need thereof, I wouldn’t bother completing a quiz that doesn’t take my choices seriously.
It gives you all the main American choices, Metro. I’m just pointing out that there’s no point getting all patriotic over Tim Horton’s (although the maple donut is astonishingly good). I go to Louie’s on Granville Island myself, and I didn’t see that on the quiz.

ahhhhhh
Doughnuts - still thinking of doughnuts
……. Strawberry Jam doughnuts …. cream-covered doughnuts
ahhhhhh
Apprehensive as I am of expressing any divergence of opinion from her Grace the Marchioness, from what the knowledgeable Monsieur Metro says about this Canadian Doughnut, it seems there is every point in being patriotic about Canuckistani Doughnuts
Your obedient servant etc

Timmy’s indeed does have some lovely donuts, t’is true. But they’re owned by the Yanks now, same as everything else.
But I’m hoping you are not being metaphorical with your donut selection. “Red wings” is not a particularly appetizing picture if you know what I mean.
Take comfort, Rain. If Dave Thomas were still alive, you’d think he was a Canadian. I’m not being snide either.
Eh?
Wendy’s founder, eh? Eh?
You mean NOT the Dave Thomas who was one of the Mackenzie brothers? There was a different Dave Thomas? Well I’ll be.
Right.
“Like eh, I heard that if you buy a Double, eh, and there’s a mouse under the lettuce, eh you get a free burger eh?”
Obviously you have no fluency in Canuckistani. Everyone knows that the only donut-appropriate usage for “double” has nothing to do with burgers. It is “Double-double” as any Timmy’s fan could tell you, eh. Jeez, what a hoser!
Mme Metro is fond of the Oxford Dictionary’s example sentence for the word “eh”.
“It’s all the way across town, eh? So I can’t get there by bike.”
By the way: RC–could you not tell the difference between Dave Thomas AKA Doug McKenzie and Dave Thomas, late great father of Wendy’s? Are you sure you’re Canadian? I mean, the second is damn near Canadian-by-adoption.
They look so much alike in Tahoma. I am, forgive me, not up on these dead foreigners.
Not to mention not being up on what a Double is in Dave Thomas-speak, eh?

F Future Editor has now provoked me to thinkng about KrustyBurgers …. double KrustyBurgers
Your obedeitn servant etc

[PS - FFE I do not understood her Grace's reference to red wings ... on 2nd thoughts perhaps it would be better if you did not explain !!!]
There’s no such thing as a double beer, unless you count some of those stunners from Quebec.
Krustyburgers are the kind of thing I, myself, try not to think about. And red wings are the kind of thing you should try not to think about.
