Is that what's in a lemon-filled donut? Jelly or Marmalade? Or is it some corn-syrup concoction?

Fuckin' backpeddler! :7up:
Nope. I stand by my statement. A Jelly donut has jelly or marmalade in it.

Have you ever eaten a lemon marmalade donut?

Of course you haven't.
(but I'll bet you'll travel all the way to "Donna's Donuts" in Nebraska to get one now) :sly:

Never eaten a marmalade donut of any fruit. But I may see if Ramshusker can send me out one of Donna's delectable LEMON JELLY DONUTS.
Which just proves my point.

Watch.

I just forced ketchup into a donut in my kitchen, and I'm calling it a ketchup jelly donut.
Is that a jelly donut now?

Or is a ketchup-filled donut?

This thread is BEAST! :bahaha:

Depends... Did you put starch, pectin, or gelatin in it to make it so? And I HIGHLY doubt that you are in your kitchen OR for that matter pumping above mentioned donuts with Catsup. Can't believe you would resort to such hyperbole! :ahahah:

Wait a second.

Did you just spell KETCHUP like this -- Catsup.

??????

The hell planet are YOU from? Everyone knows it's no longer spelled catsup.

Cat. Sup.

It's like you're greeting a feline.

Sure. And maybe a platter of broccoli steak burritos.

Hey. There's an idea. Let's fill burritos with broccoli and call them steak burritos.

"Lemon Jelly." :neh:

So. The debate isn't about cruller vs. jelly. It's what's a jelly donut?

For one thing, jelly doesn't have seeds. That's preserves. Secondly, jelly is only related to fruit (get your hands off the condiments, X) by flavor. If there was a donut shop I frequented that put actual fruit in their donuts, I wouldn't buy one. Raspberry jelly is okay. Lemon is so much better.

But forget crullers and jelly-filled. The best donut (defined by what is sold in a donut shop--don't use that hole argument on me) ever made is the apple fritter, and not just any fritter, but those made at Chuck's in Renton, WA. They're flat and crispy, with real apple pieces. That's a fruit donut I'll defend forever.

Deep fry that burrito and watch me eat enough to enter a prolonged sugar coma.

Wait, so it is okay to have apple pieces in your fritters, but not in your jelly filled donuts?

Also, before we are done here, we should debate the spelling of donut/doughnut. I actually debated this once. I don't remember what side I was on though.

Overruled.

Jelly donuts have actual jelly in them. Lemon-filled donuts have lemon filling that you will never find in a grocery store, in a jar, labeled "Lemon Jelly." Now. Lemon filled donuts are very good, but they are not jelly donuts. They're lemon-filled donuts.

Meet me at the grave, because there's where I'm going with this one.

It's one of those things that can go either way. I prefer "donut" though; that's how everyone seems to say it.

I clarified above. The difference being an apple/dough mixture rather than fruit filling. Fruit filling belongs in a pie.

Crunchy. Anyone who says smooth is anything but.

So, the proof in the pudding, so to speak, is that if you can't get it anywhere but the donut shop, then it's not jelly? That's a convoluted trip around the block.
