Aren’t you proud I didn’t say retards?
Because usually I like custard donuts. But the genre of donut dough that are used for sufguniyois quite frankly do taste best with jelly.
Also, the credited way to eat a donut with filling is to start from the track marks (the injection site).
Morons are the ones who put jelly in my sufganiyot.
only caramel belongs in a sufganiya. And not caramel flavored custard either.
I beg to differ. Have a hot caramel donut from Pizza Uri in Beis Yisrael.
LAB – that was the very sufganiyot I had in mind! YUM!
I was disappointed by the Pizza Uri donuts when I was in Israel. I got like a pea sized amount of caramel in mine.
but I must say, that pea size was good.
Syag – Just had one last week in-store. Hot caramel was dripping down my fingers, mmm mmm mmm.
I was actually there with a friend who asked the guy behind the counter if they had any *gasp* jelly donuts. The guy gave us a dirty look and muttered, “Sufganiyot Uri? Riva? …”
It is most efficient to use one type of dough and many fillings.
Never had a caramel donut, but Boston Creme is my favorite. I will not turn my nose up at a jelly donut, either.
You can turn up your nose at a donut?
not sure what to make of this, but when I first clicked on this to read it, the newsmax link right above poppas opening salvo read
“3 Early Signs of Dementia”
Morons who put stuff besides jelly in sufganiyot are the same morons who put stuff besides potato or kasha in knishes.
Of course, people who call them “sufganiyois” are also morons, since there is no such word.
hear, hear
No, it’s called an accent.
I was under the impression that there are two or three pizza uri’s…like a chain store.
Never tried one, it sounds worth it for me to go in over Chanuka…..its that good?
You must make your own decisions in life, my child. I have found over the years that it is not right to rely only on the advice of others. May you be blessed with self-confidence and happiness.
It’s that good. Go to the one on Beis Yisrael, I’m not sure if the one on Malchei Yisrael has donuts.
Rebydid, about food? Im not making a life desicion, I just said Id try something new. Maybe that is a skill YOU have yet to learn.
Of course, people who call them “sufganiyois” are also morons, since there is no such word.”
What would be the Yiddish word for jelly donuts? Latkes in Hebrew ar levivot, but we call them latkes. Is there a Yiddish equivalent for the donuts?
Especially with the most minor decisions where you don’t need guidance should you learn to decide on your own.
oomis, it’s called Fanken.
It’s called doughnut.
I call sufganiyot, donuts and latkes, latkes. but that’s because calling it a potato pancake just sounds pathetic.
In honor of the Doctor Who 5oth Anniversary, I wanted to put custard in my donuts, but I ended up just chickening out and using jelly instead. Oh, well. But it’s the thought that counts – I’m proud to be a moron. 😛
“Proud morons, keep on gobbling. Gobbling, gobbling, gobbling down the donuts.”
That’s my anthem.
I was skeptical of the OP, since I really like custard donuts.
But today, I ate custard sufganiyot and jelly sufganiyot, and Popa is right. The jelly ones really do taste better as sufganiyot than they do as donuts.
Shopping, as far as I know, the only Pizza Uri is in Geulah, on Malchei Yisroel. Maybe they’ve opened up other branches in main chareidi neighborhoods, but that is the place I know of. The answer about whether it’s good enough to go special during Channuakah is that they don’t carry these things any time other than during Channukah (unlike all the bakeries that start selling sufganiyot on Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan and immediately stop the day after Channukah), so you can only try them during this week. If you have a few hundred (or maybe thousand, I’m not sure) calories to spare, then it would be worth it to try. I am still partial to American doughnuts (either plain or jelly) or to custard-filled eclairs, so the jelly sufganiyot never really appealed to me, but these with the caramel are different and yummy, so they really don’t have an American counterpart for me to compare one-on-one. Just yummy in their own right. Happy Channukah!
No problem as long as you do not intend to be Yotzeh the obligation of sufguniyois with them.
Unlike Chanukah candles the wife is not Yotzeh with the husband’s eating.
If I had to eat jelly donuts it would be difficult to be mekayem the mitzva of simchas yom tov.
Mustard donuts are the best, but it’s hard to get them right.
Popa, I want to thank you for your advice on how to eat a filled donut. It made less of a mess than usual.
CUSTARD!!!!!!!!
Yum.
Chocolate. Chocolate is NOT for morons!
No, mine was jelly. What do you think I am, a r??e??t??a??r??d?? moron?
I had two DD custard donuts yesterday.
If I every wanted to convince my sundry relatives that I’m reasonably grown-up and mature, the sight of me trying to cram the blob of custard into my mouth before it fell on my skirt probably destroyed that one on the ground.
Sufguniyot and doughnuts aren’t the same thing. In the stores the sufganiyot are a dollar more and are fried in oil. Sufganiyot are more oily than regular doughnuts.
The problem with other ingredients is that they may be “Mevatel” the essential ingredients, or they may create a Chatzitza (interposition) between the mouth and the sufganiyos, or they may it hard to eat a Kezais in the required time.
We need a comprehensive Artscroll sefer that will deal with all these details, with good Mar-eh Mekomos (sources listed) and several Haskamos (approval letters) from recognized authorities.
Hamentashen are next.
writersoul:
I empathize with your struggle! I had a hard time looking anything less than a drunken slob trying to eat a simple jelly donut this morning. I bit into my donut, and out popped the jelly from the side of my mouth all over my clean white shirt (worn l’kovod Rosh Chodesh).
🙁
I think I’ll stick to my latkes ‘n beer.
This skews my entire world view! I always thought jelly doughnuts were sufguniyoit and all other fillings were less yummy sufganiyoit! Madness!
Wrong. Jelly doughnuts are jelly donuts, and the rest can only be spelled one way.
Purim is coming, NOT Chanukah! You meant Hamantashen, right? And personally, I am opposed to anything in hamantashen but prune lekvar mixed with lemon juice, finely chopped walnuts and allspice. Or mohn. No jelly.
Oomis, gotta hand it to you!
A genuine traditionalist!
Which in our tradition, stands for a lot.
Minhag avoseinu b’yadeinu, and we don’t dare venture a hairsbreadth yemin u’smol.
You really are the world’s best Bubby, making sure to pass on the Mesorah INTACT to your (I’m sure adorable and very well-raised) grandkids!
May you be zoche to do so for the greats and great-greats as well!
golfer, Amein v’Amein!!
SiDi™
Golfer, you are turning my head!!!!!! Amein to that beautiful bracha. Halevai.
Popa – you should BE so lucky to eat my hamantashen!!! They are scrumptious. I take no credit. My mom O”H got me started on the right road to Purim baking. I have had many, many different types of hamantashen over the last 60+ years, all of them very tasty. But not a single one has ever been as well-received and delicious as hers. Not for my family, anyway.
