here's my two cents...

i believe that the dough is more important than the hole.

if you only have the "hole" in your hands. you cant eat anything! the hole is just air! can you eat that? no! Not like if you have the dough of the doughnut, whatever its shape may be, your tummy will be satisfied! thats the point of eating a doughnut!

p.s my favorite doughnut does not have a hole. hehe. bavarian!!!

whaaat??!!
if kuya jepoy's fave doughnut is bavarian, mine is...
strawberry filled munchkins.
which is also basically a "doughnut".. and, by the structure itself, u can already compare which is more important between the hole and the dough. as we all know, there is no hole in a munchkin.

would my aswer be fine?! understandable?!

diba? dili man makabusog ang buho? makapabutod nuon sa tiyan... hekhekhek!

JEpoy said...

hahaha! sakto kaau!

and you know what?

before, i thought that munchkins are made from the excess dough made from the hole of a doughnut! haha!

Ferny said...

ewan ko lang sa mga favorite nyo. I'll think about my answer first. Maybe next time I can answer your mind-buggling question.:)

-= cHaRmOs =- said...

kuya!! may point ka!!!

oo nga noh!

maybe, early bakers doesn't want anything to be wasted from the dough they made. so they decided to make another small cake para walang masayang...

me, i have a question. why do they called it munchkins?hehehe

-= cHaRmOs =- said...

chika minute....

Pilosopo _cal speaking, you are eating a doughnut because you want your tummy filled up, right? and you cannot eat a hole anyway.. so, dough is much more important than the hole. anyweiz, a doughnut is still a doughnut even without its hole..

just like what kuya jeff said, one of my favorite doughnut doesn't have a hole, Bavarian din!!!!hehehe

On the other hand, going back to the "doughnut's history", i'll give you a short view of it. it's up to you to decide which is more important among the two: the hole or the dough...c",)

n early colonial times, Dutch settlers arrived on U.S. soil seeking freedom from the strictly enforced Writs of Pastry. These laws were created after a freak accident in which a cow kicked over a giant fryer causing much of Strudeldorf to be drenched in hot oil and fried to a golden brown. The new arrivals, careful not to mention the Strudeldorf incident back in Holland, were allowed to resume the making of their one true passion: fried cakes.

In the days when fried cakes ruled the earth, life was harsh. The cakes were difficult to fry all the way through which often left a gooey, doughy center. The doughy unfried cake center often carried deadly diseases such as the bubonic plague and anthrax (not really true of course). Thousands of people and twelve bakers (the baker's dozen) died from eating unfried cakes. Still, people ate and ate not knowing if their next fried cake would be the last.

It was then a young lad by the name of Hanson Gregory stepped onto the scene. The year was 1847. Seventy years had passed since the United Stated fought Britain for independence. The American Civil War was still several years away. Without any local wars to fight, Americans had little to do. Hanson's mother was a dedicated cake maker living on the cutting edge of pastry technology. Day in and day out she fried cakes with relentless passion. Sometimes though, even her fried cakes were doughy in the center. To conceal this, she began placing walnuts and hazelnuts in the center of the fried cakes, but this left little Hanson feeling very sad because the only thing he hated more than a doughy center were walnuts and hazelnuts on doughy centers.

One night while Hanson was sleeping, an angel appeared to him. The angel was holding a giant plate of fried cakes still dripping with hot oil. "Hanson," said the angel, "You must end the suffering of your people. Reveal the true nature of these fried cakes. Also, try one of the glazed...they're quite tasty." The angel left, but the plate of fried cakes remained. Upon closer inspection, Hanson was shocked to discover that the fried cakes were hole-y. He ran into the streets shouting about his experience with the angel and giving these glorious pastries to the townspeople. Everyone agreed they were the best fried cakes ever. The people sang and danced for many days then had Hanson burned at the stake for being a witch.

according to the history, the middle portion of the doughnut is not cooked well..

eh bakit yung bavarian kahit walang hole masarap pa rin? tapos may palaman pa?

hehehe....c",)

gudnyt..

sir, i enjoyed this. promise...

i hope you will continue throwing us mind buggling questions like this..
i had fun answering this question...hehehe.....

van said...

for me its the hole...
because it makes the ring doungnut unique from other variants of doughnuts...

but f one wants to satisfy his/her hunger, then go 4 d dough...hehe

van said...

the hole is important for me because just like what you have said co-bloggers that munchkins are made out of d excess of d hole of a ring doughnut...so,it just mean extra income,hehe..

crUshed said...

Well gUys, i believe that the hole in the donut is more important than the dough itself. The hole in the donut distinguishes itself from other types of pastries. Many types of food contain dough like pizza, bread, pies, etc. Without the hole, it cannot be identified as a donut. [Originally, donuts really have holes but then several types of donuts emerged.] I therefore conclude that the hole is more important than the dough. But even though our answers vary, marasa la gihap it donut! Ü I go for Choco Butternut & Choco-filled donuts.. yUmmY! Ü
gOod day to aLL.

rechel said...

hmmm?
sakin yung dough, kc un ang nakakain.... hole is not..
i think it would be better if all doughnuts doesn't have holes, like bavarian, and muchkins...di bitin..hehe

Ferny said...

The dough is the most important part of the doughnut. As the word implies, "DOUGHNUT" there is no word "Hole" in it. Good thing if it is 'DOUGHHOLE'. Tecnically speaking, you can't make a Hole without the doughnut. The hole is for aesthetic purpose only. I like the doughnut without a hole because you can add filling nin it. ummmmm,,,,,Bavarian and Pineapple...My bestest.,!

Anyhow, let's not fight for this questions guys..Keep running and wondring why is it so.

Thank you sir for this cute and nice question. Till next tym.

Ferny said...

sir, how to upload phoosin your name???

Ferny said...

anyone who is online???

paulogeeren said...

an opinion from a concerned citizen!
whaaaaaaat...
for me it is the dough which is more important because in the first place there will be no doughnut without the presence of the dough.So it is the DOUGH that count much rather than the HOLE.And also when eating it we are after the dough than the hole,for the dough satisfies our hunger and notm the hole.
there are also doughnuts but without the hole, so it doesn't matter whether it has a hole or not.

rhyLLe said...

weLL, very gOOd classmates..Looks like there's already a variety of answers here...
and mine is jUst the same with mOst of you guYz, the dOugh is more important because its the part which all of us crave fOr..in the first place..just like what ferny said, it is called DOUGH-nut.. actually, it was called that way because early bakers used to put nut (the walnuts, hazelnuts....peanuts??hehe!)on its center...

On the other haNd..it became known because of its being ringed-shape which gives importance to the existence of its hole..especially for those who doest like nuts..like me..and from that,,,different shapes and varities of flavored donuts arise..hehe!...biaS...

JEpoy said...

ok... lets put it this way...

a doughnut can NEVER be a doughnut without a dough. it's like a MAN can NEVER be a man without a body. so it's very important.

as for the HOLE, it made the doughnut famous, it gave the doughnut its identity, it created a worldwide doughnut phenomenon. just like our FACE, it gives us identity, it distinguishes ME from YOU and from everyone else. what would it be like if WE don't have our identity, our face? (just an analogy)

if a blind person will ask you to describe a doughnut, dba most likely the first thing that will come to our mind is the HOLE?

for me, even if bavarian is my favorite, i would NOT describe a doughnut like a bavarian, but with a HOLE.

i can't answer which is MORE important, but ill throw in another question.... maybe it can help us in answering...

Which is MORE important? your IDENTITY? or your BODY?

-jasOn- said...

for me,iiiiiiiiiiii doont caareeee whaaaat eveer doughnuut is it as long as the most important for me is the dough...! Because the dough of the doughnut is the one that gives attraction to the people BUT the hole...!ehi-ehi!#z$, gives MALICE? ,malice! to the people , right..! haaaaahaaaa.

jude said...

hehehe! it took me a few days to think about this questioN (whaaaat??!!)

well, for me it's absolutely the DOUGH which is more important and NOT THE HOLE! and why? simply because a doughnut can be a doghnut even without the hole, but a doughnut can NEVER be a doughnut without the dough...

would that answer your question sir? hekhekhek! heheh:)

dexter'slab said...

Grabe napagiiwanan na pla me! Daming answer na!~`Whaaat!!!
I guess my answer would not count anymore, but anyways, still have to... hehe
Para sakin it's the hole... wonder y? wala lang, just to balance the competition. Dami na kase going for the dough eh...
Pero me Q me... why "Doughnut"? Was their really a "nut" involved???

nakakagutom tuloy mga pinagsasabi nyo....

will for me wat is more important is the dough than a hole, as wat my fellow classmates said i cannot eat the hole alone, so in order to fed my empty stomach and my hungry alaga sa tyan i must eat the dough not the hole!!

hehekhek


my favorite doughnut is also a bavarian...


cuteCEL

resvy said...

well...
i really thought about the question.. hehe.. =)
for me i think that the dough is more important than the hole.you can eat the dough even without the hole,and one thing more is that how can you make a hole without the dough..right?
and maybe it's called doughnut because there's a dough and the nut came from the coconut which is the dessicated coconut..
and maybe the original doughnut are those with holes in it while the bavarian are just variants of doughnuts. hehe..
that's what came into my mind.. hehe..
hope i have answered your question sir!
thanks!!
see you all tomorrow!
have a nice day!
=)

hmmmm...for mHe??Dough is more imp0rtant thAn thE hole..coz you can't eat the HOLE anyway..there can still be a doughnut even without a hole ryt?..like for instance munchkins aNd bavarian which is 1 of my favorites,,

-= cHaRmOs =- said...

for kuya jepoy:

about your question, "which is more important, your identity or your body?"

ako, i'll go for identity!!!

since i cannot give a good defense for my body, dun na lang ako sa identity babawi!!!

waaaaaaattttt!!!!!!!!!!???????????

wala lang.. just hanging around!!!

dayen said...

for me the dough is more important than the hole. because in terms of basic needs we need the food that will satisfy our stomach. if i will choose the hole i cannot it the filled of bavarian and it will be 'bitin'. hehe. and i like the pineapple & strawberr bavarian which is also a variety of doughnut.

beauty_chuvaloh said...

a doughnut cannot be called a doughnut without a dough.hehehe....
actually there was a doughnut without a hole like those bavarian flavors...so the dough is more important than the doughnut...

JahMiLLA said...

seriously it's the dough, because a donut woudn't become a donut if all d parts of it is just a hole wyl on d other hand, if all the part of the donut is jaz a dough still it 8 wud become a donut. but philosophically speaking, 4 me it's d hole....hehehe bcoz every person exist because of it.hehehe and dat's y most but not ol men courts a woman just to have it.hehehehe

-alan b.- said...

enfoursi, makisawsaw muna me..evrybody agrees dat d dough is more important dan d hole..somebody must defend the hole..u make pilosopizing and u wil realizing dat d hole is more importantizing..hehhehhe.

-alan b.- said...

lumitaw na keo mga philosophers..
kawawa ang hole..ung hole..hehhehhe..opppps..

rhainnemoonraven said...

our blog 4 n4b is super dry,some still are not oriented on blogs and computers,der are only few people interst 2 give der comments, better yet, i just leave a comment here in n4c..well i prefer the dough because for one basic reason,y are u bying a doughnut?..hmm for u to eat, ayt?so wat then r u eating? its the dough isnt it?..ayt?so wats d purpose of the hole?..hmmm..None!!!we can all eat doughnuts even if its without any hole,besides it wudnt be named doughnut if the dough isnt important nd useful,..ayt???...

-alan b.- said...

which is more important in a dougnut, the dough or the whole doughnut...? of course the whole donut including those fine supporting ingredients...hehhehhe... i like now the whole than the dough alone..toink.

JEpoy said...

cge cge.. iddefend ta it hole...

the HOLE is the most important! you know why? because thats where we all came out! bwahahaha!

Anonymous said...

heyk, heyk, heyk...!!

mabuhay!!!!

the hole!! the hole!!! the hole!!

its cuter when there is a hole eee..

LeLAi.com said...

well, well, well....wat can i say???

hMmmm....for me who considers EATING!!to be my most "favoriest" [heehe]activity here on earth would go for the "dough"



simply bcoz....as much as my STOMACH!!is concerned....it is the dough that we tend to eat and not the hole...ok?



well....gotta go....lots of food to eat pa!!buwahahaha!!!

JahMiLLA said...

i think its the hole becoz it serves as the trademark of the doughnuts.heheheh when we hear the word donut, wat comes first into our minds is the donut which has a hole and a dough and not the donut which doesn't have a hole.heheheh waray la .heheheh tripings la.hehehehehe

Unknown said...

traxex said...
