Answer

Being an Australian, I can only help you with the first two.
A doughnut is sweet, whilst a bagel,is savoury.
Crab claws contain the most meat, and due to the scarcity of meet in the main shell of the crab, most westerners don't bother with it, they can choose just the fat claws by themselves.
