“Why is this website called I Am A Jelly Donut?”, I hear you ask…?
According to popular legend, when JFK gave his famous Ich bin ein Berliner speech, a mispronounciation saw him declare that “I am a jelly donut” as opposed to “I am a citizen of Berlin”.
It’s not true, but it sure makes for a good story!
“Ich bin ein Berliner” June 26, 1963

It’s funny because in parts of Germany, “Berliner” means “Jelly doughnut” therefore “I am a jelly doughnut”- oh Kennedy
