I agree that everything is not a donut.

The original doughnut was fried. Later on they started baking them as yeast cakes adding frosting and calling that a donut.

You ladies made me hungry LOL!

I grew up in NY and this is definitely a jelly donut. They were my favorite at one time.

Then came the Cheese Danish that a local deli made that my father brought home on Saturdays. They were the BEST cheese danish I've ever eaten. I can still taste them all these years later.

No, that doesn't happen where I live. A donut is donut. Coffee rolls and cinnamin buns and sweet rolls and pecan rolls and danishes and bismarks are all called what they are.
