There is only one place in the USA I'll drink coffee - New Orleans

So then I call the things I eat with the coffee - beignets!

Wishful thinking!

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.

Agree; except for the bismark thing.  I have never heard that term and I'm sure no one in my area has either.

@jubilant : Mercy have not had one in years but I want one now!!!!

Difficult night. Trying to eat healthy and not snack at night. DH just inhaled one of the big Texas cinnamon rolls and ask- you want one. Like yes a lot of stuff I want but not eating. But admit that I am hungry. Southern Bee

I'm a NOLA girl and that's what I was thinking as I read this thread - beignets!!!! Better yet, beignets and cafe au lait.

But seriously, I've never heard of a bismark, and I've always called those round, filled things "jelly doughnuts" or "cream filled doughnuts."

I'm from NJ and I've never heard of Bismarcks or Long Johns.

This is a funny thread.  So many pastries, so little time.

My fav donut is a plain donut.  I do enjoy an eclair which I assume is similar to a Long John. 

On Sundays my Dad would go up to the store to pick up the Sunday paper, and next door was a bakery and he'd always bring home some cheese danishes.  They were small squares of layered flaky dough with a large dollop of the cheese filling in the center.  I could eat a dozen of em but I remember usually eating 2 of em.  I've never seen them made that way anywhere else I lived, I've seen them round with a glaze drizzled over them, but I liked them in that flaky dough with no razzle dazzle.

And what about a crumb bun?  Delicious!!!

@shoesnbags - Of course cafe au lait! That's the only thing I'll drink, preferably at Cafe du Monde.

I remember your comforting post to me when Hurricane Barry was hitting your area. I texted so many of my family and friends with quotes from your post, and we all felt so much better.

DS loves it there. We'll be going down to visit him, and so I can get my beignet "fix"  in a few months when we can both get away from work!

Worked in a bakery as a teen and all of the items mentioned by the OP are different types of pastry. Bismarcks are sold at our local pastry shop; they are round, fried sweet dough filled with cream or custard and then coated with chocolate glaze frosting on top. They are divine when fresh and made with good ingredients and are horrid lumps of oil soaked dough when not.

The baker I worked for in high school made the most delicious glazed applesauce cake donuts you ever tasted and awesome huckleberry pies. We lived in the mountains, and every summer locals would pick the berries and sell them to restaurants and bakeries. To Die For.
