1. Actually

I would prefer the traditional bismarck, filled with red jelly and coated with granulated sugar. No other kind should ever be called a bismarck. Failing that, I'll take a chocolate.

2. Blueberry filled with lots of sticky glaze

And old fashioned hot, right out the fryer.

With lots of powdered sugar.

3. My nephew is a deputy on the Lexington police force

He was standing in line at a donut shop on National Donut Day once. A reporter asked him if he was having a nice Donut Day. He said--I'm a cop. Every day is Donut Day. They quoted him in the paper.

4. Mister Donut used to have black raspberry jelly filled donuts.

I don't think Mister Donut exists anymore. And all of our Dunkin Donuts within a 15 mile radius are owned by the same group now. None of them make their own donuts and they skimp on fillings and drinks, have limp bacon, and never have enough product to last through the day. Vanilla cream used to be a fav of our whole family, but it's a crapshoot at any of them now as to what cream it's filled with.

The last Dunkin in our area that made their own fresh, amply-filled donuts sold out to that group a few weeks ago.

The same thing happened to our CiCi's pizza. Never the best you could get, but once it sold out to this group, there was a huge difference in quality, topping selection, and quantity - even down to the small piddly puddle of watery sauce in the center. They went out of business in our area, and we're a college town. Cheap pizza places abound.

Though I rarely indulge

11. Raised glazed for me. My tip for stale dounts.

Slice in half and toast cut side down in a dry pan finish with a little butter.

12. Old fashioned buttermilk! 😋

13. Krispy Kreme.

We have a couple of Dunkin Donuts stores here, I wish we had a Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts are the very definition of doughnuts, in my humble opinion. If they aren't Krispy Kremes, they aren't doughnuts, by definition.

14. Cinnamon rolls.

Mind you, I like most donuts (or doughnuts for the snobs), except jelly-filled powdered ones. I find that the "jelly" usually sucks.
