Have you ever known someone for a long time

[disneychrista]

I just go to the local shop, I'll have to go on a quest to DD or Krispy Kreme

Don't bother. Neither are very good.

I thought he may be talking about a creamsicle too. I've never heard of a cream stick. It looks like a long john to me.



Long johns can be cream filled.

In Ohio Long Johns are underwear

 

[tarheelmjfan]

have you all ever been to a doughnut shop

Sure, but apparently not where you live.

Ah, didn't know that. My grandma called them long johns but they were never filled.

Here you go @low-key

We have that kind of long johns too. Well, NC does. We don't have a use for them here.

In our own defense, I don't think we're totally crazy for having assumed it was a typo, under the circumstances.

We always just called them a filled donut. I did not know they had another name. It must be a regional thing, like the sub vs. hoagie (and many other names). We didn’t really eat donuts when I lived up north, so for all I know they might have called them cream sticks. Eclairs always had a Bavarian cream filling, not a white cream filling, so we wouldn’t have confused the two.

This thread is hilarious. I also thought you were talking about a creamcicle

I've never heard anything but round pastries called doughnuts. This is one thing that makes the DIS so interesting. You learn a lot about different regions in the US & other countries.

At our Publix, there is always one in the box of assorted donuts (4 total in the box). That is the only way I have seen them, since I don’t have a donut shop close to me. I haven’t bought the assorted box because if they are on sale, the Apple fritters usually are as well, and I like the fritters better than donuts.

yes, or maybe these....

Sorry, have not heard of creme sticks or cream sticks either.
Also have not heard of Long Johns as food.
Your picture shows a bunch of eclairs.

Stuffed long john?

Must be regional. Ohio maybe?

I seriously thought you were talking about something like these:

If I saw what you're talking about I would call that a cream-filled donut.

You mean a Dreamsicle, MJ?

Eclairs are made with cream puff dough (at least around here lol). Long Johns are made with regular yeast donut dough like a round fried donut.

I know what you mean. Our Publix does that too. I've also seen fritters in the assorted "doughnut" boxes. I think that's just their lazy way of labeling things.

Eclairs & long johns are different.

ETA: @sksjasams explained the difference well.

I did a little digging, and it is a regional thing. What you call a cream stick can be called a Long John or a maple or chocolate bar, depending on the frosting, or even as an eclair, although technically a true eclair has different pastry dough and filling. It all depends on where you live. I am exhausted now and will need some sleep to recover

I would never eat nothing called a stuffed long john
