So basically: cheap simple working class treats = donuts. Expensive OTT artisan hipster/yuppie treats = doughnuts.

I may however, have discovered the ultimate "doughnut" - a xuixo (shoe-shoe), from Girona, Spain. Viennoiserie dough (croissant/danish), filled with crema catalana (citrus-y creme brulee), deep fried and rolled in sugar. We left Girona three days ago and I'm going through withdrawal. I may be experimenting this weekend to try to recreate them back here in Calgary.

So all this doughnut talk tempted me into buying an expensive one today. I went with the Veruca Salt this time:
I found out they upped the price to $6.70 though!
