As you mention, a real doughnut has a hole in the middle (hence its name). The "English" jam doughnut is misnamed. Maybe they started off with holes, but:-

1) The stingy English probably moaned about the "missing bit".
2) Where would you put the jam? smile

Not many doughnuts on the Dark Side, Darth. We can rarely afford such extravagance.


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
