Word of the Day: 'Jam Busters' 🍩

In Manitoba, jelly-filled donuts are uniquely called 'jam busters'! This food term confuses visitors but delights linguists studying Canadian dialects. While most of Canada uses 'jelly donut' or the Tim Hortons term 'filled donut,' Winnipeggers proudly stick to their distinctive name for this sweet treat. Have you tried a jam buster? 🇨🇦 #Canada #Manitoba #FoodTerms

@Canadian_Eh

I grew up on jam busters in the 60s and 70s. Was shocked after leaving Manitoba in the mid 80s it wasn’t a thing in Ontario or anywhere else.
