A BearClaw, for all you Europeans and other non-North Americans, is a huge doughnut in the shape of a bear's footprint covered in chocolate and filled with either custard or whipped cream. Basically, it's a Canadian breakfast. In this case custard would be my filling as if you microwaved whipped cream it would be a disgusting mess!

Booo! That's not the real bearclaw!

Alright then, I'm not disagreeing with you, Tim Horton might though.
What then, is your definition of a BearClaw doughnuts?
From one psycho to another in the immortal words of a third psycho...
"Thrill me with your acumen!"

My definition, first of all, is "A bearclaw is not a doughnut". It's an almond pastry. Hell, I grew up with that stuff, I am not willing to accept any other kind before it .

From the left coast of North America, I have to agree with Tape on this one. This is the bear claw that I grew up with (and eat about once a month):

Of course I'll concede to both of your pastryfied and doughnuttery knowledge. I'm obviously thinking of something else or Tim Horton's was guilty of plagiarism when it came to the name. I looked at his website and they don't even make the one I'm referring to anymore...perhaps they were sued for copyright infringement and had to stop?

That said, let's all have a bear claw and a glass of whatever and drink to Lina's health - and her smile .

All I've got in-house is some Laphroaig, single malt and two-day old pizza, but I have a healthy imagination so I'll definitely make a toast to that!

Maybe not, but Covey's bearclaw sound sooo much better to me! Custard for me, please.
