i was talking to a police officer yesterday and i asked him what kind of doughnut he preferred...
he claimed that he didn't like doughnuts!

so i was wondering what kinds of doughnuts are popular in 2063?
Glazed
Maple dip
Sprinkles

Glazed
Boston Creme
Bear Claws

well there's chocolate longjohns, then there's chocolate glazed. the raspberry filled ones are delicious, as are white iced ones and sprinkles. glazed are classic, and cake donuts are yummy in a very simple way. there are the penut covered donuts that are great, and then there's boston cremes.
Eclairs, while technically not donuts, are still damn good, as are cinamon rolls. Ye gods, I love cinamon rolls.

I could go on, but I'm really hungry now so I am gonna go buy a dozen donuts.

sorry to go off on a rant, but you have to admit, this topic was made for me.

The only real doughnuts are glazed doughnuts.

//looks in empty wallet and whimpers//

"donuts are good"........

//looks at Yum Donuts, making sure he can see the empty wallet before it's slowly put back in his pocket//

KrispyKreme without a doubt!

Hell yeah.

Only in the CAS. Unless... Krispy Kreme rose to power and achieved extraterrioriality. Krispy Kreme HTR teams, anyone?

Overrated, but good nonetheless.

Nothing beats a good longjohn.

Them's fightin' words.

Good for them. I don't much like them. Tasty, but not the best thing since sliced bread (Which is really damn good).

You could have REAL shadowrun pastries... Like a Cermak Crater (it'd be like a cheese danish, but with chocolate glaze and some kind of reddish filling for the fallout)... You could have Dragon Claws instead of Bear Claws (same thing but larger, I'd figure)... I'm sure there could be a fad for Arcology Bites or something, post brainscan - you take a cream puff, but fill it with strawberry (red samurai) jelly...

A character once died because he was looking for donuts and come across lone star cops at the shop... talk about a stupid death...

That could make a really good game. DONUT WARS the quest for the best donut. What if as the corps have more power, they started adding "goodies" to their donuts to make them addictive....Really addictive. So addictive that no one is able to figure out why their so good. All you know is that one is never enough.....You've heard of Famous Amos. (From what I understand he was just a poor black guy with a really kicking cookie recipie. They bought it cheap and changed it around and he got squat in the end.) Now what if a seemingly "little old lady" who couldn't possibly hurt anyone rose to power on a "donut" dynasty. The corps want to either ruin her or steal the recipie of themselves so they can figure out what makes them so good. (That reminds me there was this movie called Soylent Green....just kidding.) It turns out Grandma is really A. A shrewd buisness woman with a really good recipie or B. She's a ghoul who seeks to fatten up the masses so they'll be good cattle to the slaughter....Anything is possible. Hell Dragons may be involved or other groups? Maybe the donuts have some sort of rare Critter ground up for seasoning or an awakened flora? Maybe they're just tasty? Who knows but Dunkin Donuts will never be the same....(DD is a staple in New England (Mass.) I've never seen so many DD's as in Boston.) It would bring a whole new meaning to "They're to die for"........Mmmmm Doooonuuuut.

Krispy Kreme is overrated, their warm Donuts are like crack but their others are so so. Dunkin Donuts is okay but you never know how old your donut might be. I've always been partial to Balgels with Lox and Creme Cheese.

Amber gel filled pastries...

I know soy is supposed to be totally popular in the future but I just don't see it happening. Have you ever tasted soy products. Granted soy burgers arn't too bad but soy flour....uhhhhh. Not something I'm all that interested. I think for the most part the breadbasket that is the western United States will still produce wheat and corn other goodies. Magic or no magic NAN wouldn't piss off UCAS, CAS, and the California Free State. When a country has to fight for food I think it will. Aztlan is a thorn in the CAS's side but changing the way food production works would have a very strong destabalizing factor. I've always played the idea that NAN nations were suto socialist in form. Sort of a happy facism with all the socialist trimmings. Similar to Itally in pre and during WWII but without the black shirts. I always figured if your not Indian in those areas then you second class. And who better to work all the shit jobs and crud than bringing low paid imigrant white folk. I think for the most part flour will still be fairly readily available. Donuts might cost more but it may only be a tad more in terms of buying power. But maybe they find a way to cross breed soy and flour to make it not taste so much like ass. With genetically modified foods they could do just about anything and do it hydroponically (msp?). You could argue really both ways. Maybe with the UCAS loosing what is the bread basket that would create economic incentives for Genetically modified foods? Interesting idea really. Just stay away from the Star Corn......Taco Hell found that out the hard way.....

They aren't popular, they're just (somehow) cheap.

By popular I mean the staple or norm...Not like everyone is saying, "Wow this soy food is awsome."

((Although I could see a health craze or a health movement in the US occurring in the future. With people suing McDonalds and Fast food joints I could a politically correct movement to ban unhealthy foods or at least tax the hell out of them. Something similar to the temperence movement but more fatty food based.))

Soy products are popular in Shadowrun because it's the only food that most people can afford.

I believe Ares started as Krispy Kream. They then expanded into security, where they could create their own market, and the plan worked so well they bought several large military contractors, and an American Mega was born.

I think you're making stuff up because they made you, as a doughnut, obsolete.

In comparison to wheat Flour Soy is dense with protein. You can't live on bread alone, you have to supplement it with things like meat and eggs. Soy, on the other hand, needs a lot less supplementing so you can grow more of it to feed the masses without having to grow other things.

Also California is really the Bread Basket of North America, and since it split off a goodly chunk of the vegetable growing market might be gone for the rest of the NAN.

Also I don't like Donuts. I'm a health nut myself.

Now call me a Doughnut if you will:

What exactly is a Bearclaw?

I know of glazed, shugar dusted, jam-filled, and probably numerous other types of sweet dough-based foods but never Bearclaws. This question has has bepondering since I heard the name in Albuquerque by Weird Al but sadly over in the UK I have not seen any of these strange Ursine creations...

A bearclaw is just a rather large cinnamon doughnut topped with nuts, usually broken-up walnuts or pecans.

Living in Atlanta, I have the misfortune of having close and immediate access to the home of Krispy Kreme, which means you get it hot and fresh off the belt.

Of course, I really pity the people who bought condos on the same block, right behind the Krispy Kreme.
