And if there were to be a contest between Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme, I would totally go for DD (KK just isn't good in my opinion).
Yeah... it's like not even a contest... KK stinks. DD is yummy.
I chose "same thing" even though they're not, because I can't decide which I like better.
Chocolate cake donuts. Apple fritters. Lemon filled. Custard filled.
versus
Sesame bagels. Cinnamon bagels. Honey wheat bagels.
For those who are don't eat bagels or donuts on a regular basis: they are quite different.
Bagels are much more dense, and they are baked rather than fried, and they usually don't have much if any sugar in the dough.
Bagels can be savory (onion flavor, cheese flavor, etc) or sweet, while donuts are always sweet.
The majority of donuts are made with some sort of frosting or glazing; bagels are typically plain with seeds or other flavorings sprinkled on top (cheese shreds, poppy seeds, onion flakes).
Donuts are typically eaten cold rather than heated up, and a donut doesn't need anything added to it, while many people prefer to toast their bagels and top them with cream cheese, butter, or jam.
Donuts come in all shapes: although one of the most common shapes is an O shape, they can be made in the shape of an 8, in a twist, in a loaf shape (long johns), a round bun shape (filled donuts), little balls (donut "holes") and lumps (fritters). Bagels, on the other hand ONLY come in the O shape.
