A poll for the calorically challenged.
From the 1st item on the Google so it must be correct, "The Official Dictionary Spelling of the word in question—if you’re into that sort of thing—is “doughnut.” The expedited, simplified, Americanized spelling of “donut,” as Grammarist tells us, has been around since at least the late 19th century. It didn’t catch on, though, until late in the 20th century..."You may want to let people that don't live in flyover states know what you mean. West coast at least doesn't call any donut a long john. We just refer to them as "bars" and by the type of frosting. Chocolate bar, maple bar, etc. They're also donuts, not doughnuts.
yeah, I'm not eating "long johns" from the 19th century.From the 1st item on the Google so it must be correct, "The Official Dictionary Spelling of the word in question—if you’re into that sort of thing—is “doughnut.” The expedited, simplified, Americanized spelling of “donut,” as Grammarist tells us, has been around since at least the late 19th century.

OH HELL NO.Jelly filled long john?
apple fritters are ALWAYS the last donut left in the breakroom - ####in' grandpa donutMaple-iced cream-filled bar > apple fritter > white-iced jelly-filled bar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any custard-filled bar
I’ve never heard of a long john or a maple baryeah, I'm not eating "long johns" from the 19th century.
I'm going to the donut shop and buying a maple bar.
Buck NakedIf we are talking food I'll go with apple fritter. If we are talking porn star name, I'll choose Long John.
Never had the peanut butter cream filled... Sounds awesome.apple fritters are ALWAYS the last donut left in the breakroom - ####in' grandpa donut
how do you feel about a chocolate iced filled with a slightly sweet peanut butter cream?
Might as well just call it a log and I’m pretty sure we’re all familiar with thoseI’ve never heard of a long john or a maple bar
There are no holes in their donut theories.Jesus, you guys know your donuts.
The crunchy bits as a bed for the fish is where it’s atI like Long John's because they have fish. Apple fritters are kinda weak for only have one ingredient. Long John's has a type of fish plus a dipping sauce (usually tartar) w a lemon garnish. Especially the extra spicy long John's fish is good.
Your rankings are terrible.Maple-iced cream-filled bar > apple fritter > white-iced jelly-filled bar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any custard-filled bar
For you east coasters, Long John = PENIS.For you west coasters, Long John = Maple Bar.
Is this a Canadian thing? Never heard of thisFor you west coasters, Long John = Maple Bar.
Then I choose apple fritterFor you east coasters, Long John = PENIS.
This guy knows his do(ugh)nuts.On average, I'd say that apple fritters are better. But the best long john that I've ever had is better than the best apple fritter that I've ever had.
I think it's more northern than specifically Canadian. Our conection here in Houston calls them filled bars.Is this a Canadian thing? Never heard of this
No. No. No.OH HELL NO.
also, Long John is a general term for bar-shaped donuts that have icing - usually chocolate (maple yes ...but less so)
AND usually have filling (doesn't have to ...but most do)
- usually its sweet white cream or bavarian cream ...but have also had a sweet peanut butter flavored blend filling)
a maple bar is one kind of Long John
This is a good breakdown, other than the weirdness of calling it a maple bar, which ignores that there are chocolate and vanilla flavors too. That said, if you slap bacon on the “maple bar” I’ll probably weigh 300 lbs within a year.I basically only ever order 4 types of donuts--apple fritters, maple bars, sugar twists, and raspberry filled. If I had to choose one as my slight favorite--I'd probably have to apple fritter--but it'd literally be by a nominal amount
Yeah, maybe a midwest thing, but Long John was what I always got because I don't like filling.No. No. No.
They do NOT usually have filling. And vanilla long johns are just as common as chocolate.
Exactly. I know they have filling options too, but....I travel all over the country and eat a lot of ####### donuts. And the ratio of filled to unfilled long johns is probably 1:3 or 1:4 on balance. My cholesterol readings should be enough to defend that statement.Yeah, maybe a midwest thing, but Long John was what I always got because I don't like filling.
I''ve never seen a Long John that didn't have filling, either here in Texas or in New York.Exactly.

Used to get non filled Long Johns in WI and they were much better than any apple type donut.I''ve never seen a Long John that didn't have filling, either here in Texas or in New York.
Well I finally figured out what you and your wife have in common.I eat nothing long with cream in it.
You got that right.Well I finally figured out what you and your wife have in common.
