[edit] Controversial doughnut-related items

Doughnut-related items excluded from the above list on the grounds of controversy:

Australia - Savoury Donut Doughnut-like feature: made from ring of dough, potentially excluding features: not sweet, 'single source' Donut Delirium who also make Donut Burgers which might be excluded for similar reasons
France - Profiterole Doughnut-like feature: cream-filled hollow ball of sweet pastry, potentially excluding features: not usually fried, special thin non-doughnut-like (Choux) pastry, seen as being in a category of its own (similar issues apply to the chocolate eclair)
India - Wada or Vadai Doughnut-like feature: made from ring of dough, potentially excluding features: savoury not sweet, made from Lentils (so not really made from dough or pastry) not necessarily fried
Malaysia - Kaya ball Doughnut-like feature: Deep-fried ball of dough, potentially excluding features: coconut-containing kaya-dough would not necessarily be universally accepted as being 'dough'
Scotland - Deep-fried Mars bar Doughnut-like feature: deep-fried sweet snack, potentially excluding features: unusual shape and absence of dough or other pastry (see also other "deep fried branded snacks", of which this may be the most notorious, like deep fried Twinkie, Snickers, Milky Way considering any of these to be included in the doughnut variety category might be controversial although they certainly fit within the fried dough foods category)
Switzerland (Zürich) - Malakoffs also called Käseschnitte Doughnut-like feature: made from dough, potentially excluding features: savoury not sweet (made from Gruyere cheese)
USA - Bagel Doughnut-like feature: made from ring of dough, potentially excluding features: most varieties are savoury not sweet, not usually fried
USA - Fudge puppy Doughnut-like feature: sweet fried dough, potentially excluding features: served as a 'combination item' composed of a split open tubular 'eclair' of fried dough 'dressed' with ice cream, cream and chocolate sauce, also the dough/pastry is claimed to be 'waffle style' which does not put in the same category as doughnuts
USA - Funnel cake Doughnut-like feature: made from fried sweet dough, potentially excluding feature: not shaped like a ball or ring.

[edit] Not-so-controversial doughnut-related exclusions

There are no general claims that the following doughnut-related-items are 'kinds of doughnuts' although they are doughnut-like in two crucial senses: they are 'toroidal in shape' and are treated as being food and in some cases are (or can be) served fried:

Large ring-shaped cakes (although size-limits which differentiate these from doughnuts seem arbitrary)
Fried squid rings (calamari) or any other food item whose shape is rendered into a toroidal shape by slicing it into sections (whether fried or not)
Cheerios (and other toroid-shaped breakfast cereals, although it is conceivable that sufficiently small ring doughnuts could be packaged or consumed as a breakfast cereal)
Hula Hoops (the branded snack and other similar types of branded snacks made out of extruded corn or potato paste)
Jam Rings (and other toroid-shaped cookies or biscuits, although certain products described as cookies or biscuits can be prepared by being fried, so could conceivably be categorised as doughnuts)
Pitted olives or any other food item whose shape is rendered into a toroidal shape by making a hole through it (whether fried or not)
Onion rings
Spaghetti hoops or other toroid-shaped pasta
Ring-shaped terrines of pâté
Pineapple rings (although ring-shaped pineapple fritters might potentially be more controversial)
Polo mints
Ring-shaped Pretzels 'figure of eight'-shaped pretzels (especially the hard, packaged variety) seem irrelevant to doughnuts, but because there are potentially 'figure-of-eight'-shaped doughnuts (yum-yums, for instance are braided), sweet flavoured figure of eight-shaped soft pretzels, especially if they were deep fried, would almost certainly be potentially categorised as a type of doughnut
Tolko cheese rings
