    Salt bagel. I know, I know - water weight. Don't care. Eaten as is, don't even slice it open. Pick it up and eat it like a donut.

    It's a tough decision for me because of all the carby goodness but I think the bagel would win. I love donuts but once it's gone, you barely realize you've eaten anyrhing. At least a bagel stays with you.

    If you are from , or live in NY, and you vote doughnut, you should be banned from eating.

    IF 300 calories left: Donut

    An everything bagel smeared in plenty of cream cheese topped with ham and pickles would be an awesome lunch, but would be over 300 cals...

    This question is stressing me out....I can’t decide.
    A gooood cakey donut is so good. But the Dunkin’ variety, pass.
    But....a yummy fresh chewy bagel is EVERYTHING,
    Can’t choose

    Definitely, a bagel. They are so delicious. More savory. Especially, an "Everything" bagel!

    If freshly made apple fritters are considered donuts, I would choose donuts.

    Having figured out I might be Celiac a few years ago, I miss donuts a hell of a lot more. It's not even close. Yeah, I know they have GF donuts but they are not the same. Now, donut or Belgium Waffle (a real one with the beads of sugar), that might be a huge decision.

    Bagel each and every time. Bagel can easily be made into something sweet that will resemble a doughnut.

    Meh. A bagel that can resemble a doughnut (other than visually, which I'm assuming is not what you meant) is not a good bagel. A doughnut should not be chewy. A bagel should not be pillowy soft.

    I'm gonna go with a no on that. A good bagel is very different from a good doughnut. Yes they both have flour, water, and some doughnuts also have yeast, but that's because they're both bread products. That's more or less where the similarities end. You could say the same about cake or the aforementioned fry bread.

    Was it serendipity? I don't care. If it was, I'm glad I put this up.

    That bagel shop I love? The one that was closed two decades and opened back up in November? The one that didn't have cucumbers? Yeah. They didn't have CUCUMBERS. Until today....

    My lucky day!

    Hmm that photo would be about last on my list of things to eat.
    Well, maybe slightly ahead of liver or tripe. :o

    I do not like cucumber and not a great fan of raw onion.

    I vote for Krispy Kreme chocolate and custard donut
