I remember that speech and the emotional impact it had
and even in the rest of Germany, nobody ever thought he was referring to Berliner Pfannkuchen (pancakes from Berlin), which btw I never thought of as donuts myself
so when someone told me this story years ago, I didn't get it - none of the connections made any sense to me
I do now know that donuts and Berliner Pfannkuchen are technically the same thing
btw
frankfurters are Frankfurter Würstchen (sausages from Frankfurt)
and hamburgers is an American term - the closest wir have in Germany is Königsberger Klöpse
