I can walk into any donut shop and I already know what I want. If you can't do that I suspect you're some kind of foreign agent who isn't familiar with what you might find in a donut shop.

BTW, it's apple fritters, and I'll have three, thanks.

Yes, three of your best glazy, sprinkled ones frau shopkeep.

That three finger thing is bullshit. In UK/Germany, people do whatever not some rote thing

In 1942? Not fair to compare modern habits with an isolated per-internet world.

perhaps even moreso. the variations in dialects when going from village to another can be huge. I would guess that countries homogenized later than WW2

It was also bs in the 40s

To my eternal dismay, all the donut shops in my town stopped making buttermilk bars, so I have to go in with a "stretch" donut and have a safety donut (old-fashioned glazed) as my most likely order.

The hell is a buttermilk bar? I am intrigued 👀

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It's like an old-fashioned (usually glazed) more in a bar shape than a traditional donut shape. I would assume that they have buttermilk in the recipe, but I don't don't really know the specifics other than than they have a bit more of a "sour cream" tang than a regular old-fashioned.

My favorite bakery stopped making their bear claws.

It was a cinnamon roll with home made maple frosting.

Now I don’t go there, nothing is the same without my claws.

Nah bro, I want to be delighted. What is your specialty. What's the best thing you make? Got anything weird? If it's just standard fare or a chain place, I let the Whims of Fate guide my hand.

If you got'em, I'll take a Bismarck (or Boston Creme, whatever you want to call them, the chocolate covered cream filled one). If not, maybe you're the type of donut shop that also has cinnamon rolls? No?

Just a coffee, then, please.

That place is just a building made to increase sadness.

Exactly what came to mind. Didn't see your comment before mine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

LOL, you found a far better picture than I was going to post.

Tractor wheel for me thank you

Haha, yes, apple fritters are the best, but the place by me makes them so big I only have to order the one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

My shop makes big ones and little ones, but the big ones are always sold out by the time I drag my ass over there
