BISMARK

A 'Berliner' or Berlin doughnut is a jelly filled yeast doughnut that Berlin has been famous for dating back to at least the early 1800s. I have not been able to find any specific information as to exactly when 'Bismark' became used as a name for this doughnut, but since Bismark was the architect and first chancellor (1871-90) of the German Empire, and Berlin was the capital of united Germany it is an easy step from 'Berliner' to 'Bismark', since Bismark was Germany.
