The line "The Berliner and other types of doughnuts can only be found on one day of the year, a holiday called Bolludagur, i.e. doughnut day." under Iceland should removed because it's flat out false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.226.98 (talk) 21:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Please change "doughnut dollies" under National Doughnut Day to "doughnut lassies" or "doughnut girls"

The article National Doughnut Day uses: "It became routine to refer to the Red Cross girls as Doughnut Dollies" and "Doughnut Dollies were women volunteers of the Salvation Army". – Þjarkur (talk) 20:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Typo in Regional Variations - Asia - China

Easy typo to see and fix. The first sentence for 沙翁 Saa Jung incorrectly has a 1 in the name. (Currently says “saa1 jung”).

Thanks!

In India part of your Donut story please add after also called Balushahi." In South India, it is called Ghee Vada, a less soft version of doughnut which is deep fried in ghee or any oil but dipped in sugar syrup before leaving to cool off. It usually have glossy and sugary surface with an inviting look. If you allow me I want to add this line too MJKunnath 16:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Pink Boxes

The claim that doughnuts in the US usually come in pink boxes is unsourced and to my knowledge not even true. I can only find references such as this https://www.foodandwine.com/news/reason-doughnut-boxes-are-usually-pink to the trend in LA and Southern California. Should that be added to the article text? Is this even notable enough to be included on the main doughnut page? It seems like trivia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:8000:BB50:BCF3:C2CE:B25A:1738 (talk) 05:39, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion changed spelling

In the USA, there seems to be two kinds of way to spell it. Dunkin’ Donuts spells it one way, while Krispy Kreme spells it the other way. Outside of USA, it seems to be more commonly known as Donuts (eg, Australia, UK, New Zealand, etc.) Since there is no common spelling in America yet a consistent spelling worldwide, it would seem they’re more commonly known as donuts, not doughnuts. 121.221.154.42 (talk) 20:10, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

You've got it backwards - "doughnut" is the one that is almost universal outside of America. As stated in the article. 213.104.137.77 (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Information should be added under the 'Portugal' sub-heading

In my opinion, information should be added about types of doughnuts in Portugal under the 'Portugal' sub-heading of the 'Regional variations' section of the article as it looks strange when 'Portugal' is the only country included in the section without any information for it in my opinion.

Rheology

Doughnut categories

Doughnuts have belonged to two categories: The fermented (FD) and non-fermented doughnut (NFD). These two are different from each other. FD is similar to french or Baguette bread but NFD is a kind of cake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KhalilianSafie (talk • contribs) 17:35, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Zoolbia and bamiyeh are not donuts

The Persian zoolbia and bamiyeh are not related to or even look similar to most donuts around the world. They are not "coated in a sugar syrup" as claimed in the article but they are soaked in "sugar syrup" as properly explained in the articles on the Indian jalebi and the Persian tulumba. Also, reference 49 points to an article for zoolbia and does not say anything about coating nor soaking in sugar so the link itself is useless. Hence, zoolbia and bamiyeh should not be included in the article and the image is out of place. Donuts are primarily made of flour and filling. Zoolbia and bamiyeh are are completely different thing. They are primarily sugar syrup so they are much more sweet than any donut. Again, we are talking about two different things. Please fix/modify the Iran section as necessary.

Ich bin ein Berliner

The infamous quote "Ich bin ein Berliner" is missing from this article or even a link over to the Kennedy page would work too.

In Germany, no one thinks of a Berliner as a type of doughnut. This rumour seems to be a peculiarity of the English-speaking world.--2001:16B8:31B3:4800:D5DD:61C4:8BFB:40D0 (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

There's actually a Wikipedia article about the type of Donut called a 'Berliner'.....

Caption accuracy

Clockwise from upper left: Doughnuts in two shapes, Tim Hortons "Timbits" doughnut holes, a pink Christmas doughnut, and glazed doughnuts from Five Daughters Bakery.

Is this image caption accurate? I believe "clockwise from upper left" meaning top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, would be: Doughnuts in two shapes, Tim Hortons "Timbits" doughnut holes, glazed doughnuts from Five Daughters Bakery, and a pink Christmas doughnut. Would like to confirm this. Nikolaih^☎️📖 02:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Finnish donitsi

Finnish dough donuts are usually coated with caster sugar. Originally only cake-dougnuts were called "donitsi" in Finnish. Sometimes, only sinse 1990s, the name donitsi has been used for american style donuts with frosting. However the donuts with a hole made in Finnish style and coated with caster sugar only, are almost always known as "munkkirinkilä". Also "munkkipossu" (piglet-donuts), flat donut which looks little bit like piglet and is filled with jam (always), has been popular. Like in many other languages we have "Berliinin munkki", which in Finland is donut covered with pink royal icing. It has been traditionally popular as well.[Special:Contributions/91.225.69.21|91.225.69.21]] (talk) 09:41, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

The France section is not factually exact and missing information

The beignets made from choux pastry are called Pets-de-nonne (nuns' farts), other beignets are not made from choux pastry at all but usually from yeast pastry and there are at least 15 different types of them in France. There is for example the beignet breton from Brittany region is made with apples and cider, the Beignet des halles de Limoges, the Beugnon from the Berry region, the bottereau in the Vendee region, the Bougnette in Roussillon region, the Bugne from Savoie, the Bunyettes from Perpignan, the Chichi frégi from the Mediterranean region which looks like churros but taste different, the Corvechet from Lorraine, the Crespet in Bearn, the croquignolle in Pithiviers, the Faverolle ou frivolle in Champagne region made with milk, the Foutimasson from Vendee and Poitou, the Fritelles from Corse made with Brocciu cheese and so on.

They have different shapes some are like balls, lozenges, long and flat..

Doughnuts are unhealthy?

This is a sweeping and not very logical statement attached only to one reference. Doughnuts are not poisonous. Where properly made they are (usually) a treat food providing mostly fuel and not much nutrition, and they should be consumed in moderation - like everything else.

Can I suggest that the statement that they are unhealthy should be replaced with a more nuanced statement about what they contain and what function they play in a diet?

I have just spent some time trying to encourage an underweight person to eat more sweet snacks if that is what she feels she can take in. She has been so pressured to think these snacks are bad, and that she's bad if she eats a lot of them, that the fact that at this moment simple, sweet food is exactly what she needs, is not getting through. If she added several doughnuts a day to her current food intake, that would almost certainly be a considerable improvement to the healthiness of her diet in her current circumstances.

It does matter that what is written on food recognises the subjectivity of what is needed, and therefore of what is "healthy" in different circumstances. FloweringOctopus (talk) 07:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
