Yes, a bismark is also called a long john in my area. I have never heard the term "logs" or "pacski" for them in this area. There must be regional names for so many things depending upon our heritage/ancestors who set up living in different areas of the country. I am sure many of these are terms they brought with them from their orginal countries & culture and have been passed down for generations. Whatever these things may be called, they are all delicious treats & I am glad they have lasted for generations.

That's a long john. A maple long john is my favorite!!!!!
There are donuts (yeast dough, round with a hole in the middle and fried), and there are cake donuts (cake batter based and fried, round with a whole inthe middle).
There are apple fritters, globby things fried, which I cannot stand! LOL!!! I don't like any of those large, fried things that get really brown when being cooked. To me they are greasy and awful!

That's called a filled donut around here. Cream filled donut, jelly donut, etc.

Don't forget the cruller! You don't hear that much anymore.
I agree that everything is not a donut.

I don't care what anything is called. It's the taste that matters.

All my life I have called this a jelly donut and I love them. Could it be a regional thing? I grew up in NJ. all other definations I am used to.

Yup; this is a jelly donut. I agree that everything is not a donut, but this one is (where I'm from anyway.) I've never heard of a Bismark.

Our grocery store calls what @sunshine45 posted a photo of a bismark and other places label them as long johns. Both are types of doughnuts.
These are definitely not the same as a coffee roll or sweet roll. And coffee rolls and sweet rolls are not the same as a donut.
