Please someone redo the spoken part, the accent is terrible. I'm German and this is just ridiculous, I never heard such a terrible accent in my life. Maybe in RtCW, but stuff like that shouldn't be published. --80.131.91.3 12:42, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

This is not even a german accent, I suppose someone found this funny.


there are different entries for Pączki, Berliner (pastry) and Sufganiyah, when all three are exactly the same. Maybe some unification is due, I'll at least add links below.

[edit] Merged content from Bismarck_(doughnut)

I merged in the content from that page. Actually, everything important was here already.

Really, it's just another name, not especially notable and in fact not one I ever heard (and I live in that country). --R. Wolff 18:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

And the thing isn't a pastry.

[edit] JFK?

Should something be included about JFK saying, "Ich bin ein Berliner?" I would have thought that was noteworthy 66.192.94.185 18:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

No, in this caes he was refering himself to be one of the citizen of Berlin, and not the food!

It's a well known running gag though, and perhaps should be included in a trivia section. It even gets mentioned outside of Germany, with people saying things like "Did you know that JFK said that he was a doughnut when he said he was a Berliner?". Personally i have enountered this several times.

see [1] for details about this urban legend. I do think, however, we should mention that a famous urban legend circulated that people construed JFK as calling himself a jelly doughnut. Valley2city 15:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manitoba?

What's with the mention of Manitoba? It looks like something was said there and then cut out. Thnidu (talk) 22:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
