In the town I live in western New York we have one Starbucks, but in
the past year two Tim Horton's have opened for business with one more on the
way. Krispy Kreme has opened a shop also. Wife prefers Krispy Kreme over
all.
To bring this back On Topic, has a stamp ever been issued to honor the
humble doughnut/donut or any other breakfast pastry?

The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary lists "donut" as a variant of
"doughnut". But in Canada and increasingly in U.S. markets, both words
are
giving way to "Timbits," the donut/doughnut holes marketed by Tim
Horton's
coffee shops. One reason to go to one of the bidboard auctions here in
Vancouver is the dealer has Timbits on hand. Bidding with your mouth
full of
Timbits isn't easy, but it can be done. :^)

Isn't that an American dictionary? Hardly relevant wrt a Hong Kong
stamp. What does the OED say?

Do you think that Tim Horton has a real chance to make it in the US
market with Starbucks so entrenched?

Shouldn't that be Doughnut holes?
