Hyperboloid?

Catenoid (minimal surface)?

My third thought was that it would be what was left when one subtracted away a
torus.
So, a donut hole, or an anti-torus.
Maybe something akin to a "munchkin".   :D

There apparently _IS_ an antitorus, but I can't find a clear description or
illustration of what exactly it is.

I knew there was an antisphere, an "object" with a constant negative
curvature. (found in pseudosphere in wolfram)

And Thomas is right, the hole of a torus is involved.

.... many chains offer their own variety, some with their own brand names such as
"Munchkins" from Dunkin' Donuts and "Timbits" from Tim Hortons.


"Grimbit"   :D
