i dont have a favorite flavor/type of doughnut.

all i want to say is that if a doughnut requires frosting and sprinkles, its not a good doughnut. you should shop someplace else for your pastries.

Back when Bess Eaton was still around, they had a donut called "double chocolate old fashioned" which was awesome. It was an old fashioned style chocolate donut that was glazed, then frosted with chocolate frosting. When I was in college, I once ate a half dozen of them (in one sitting) on a bet.

Now, my donut tastes are simpler. I usually go for a chocolate frosted or boston creme donut.

Up here they called them Meadville Cream... Dunkin' Donuts names them town specific I guess. Krispy Kreme calls them angel creams...

Have you ever tried LaMar's (http://www.lamars.com/)? I think they're even better than Kripy Kreme (just an opinion, though). As for style, I'm a sucker for creme-filled carmel eclairs *needs a drool smiley*

They're just the 'nut' that goes in the middle. They aren't toroidal (oooh, fancyspeke).

Yeah, but things like apple fritters, bear's claws, long johns and various jelly and creme filled things aren't toroidal either.

Boston Cream is always Boston Cream around here (remember, Dunkin Donuts is a Boston company). I've never heard of the other kind, but I've probably never looked.

I've heard other places call Boston Cream Bavarian Cream, but that seems to be pretty rare.
