Fave Do-Nut - Page 3

choc ful o' nuts, when they had a physical presence beyond a can in the store made these awesome cake donuts that were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and covered with powdered sugar.

They exist only in my memory and with each passing year get fainter, and fainter and fainter...

Donuts? Burn 'em. Beignets for life, bitch!

What is that - a french funnel cake?

In the words of the Cafe Du Monde worker when asked by a Texan if they were "servin' dumplins":

"WHAT? No, honey, deys beignets!"

...which are balls of fried dough with lots of powdered sugar. Much more cultured, you see, than a mere american funnel cake. :p

I can see why if you grew up with Krispy Kremes you'd stand in a long line to get them if you hadn't had any in a while. I didn't, though. I think that glaze on their raised doughnuts is butterscotch flavored. Good, when warmed, though the doughnut is so lightsome that it seems almost to disappear in your mouth like cotton candy.

Oxnard's now got its Krispy Kreme midget factory. You can watch the doughnuts from raising box through glazing through boxing up and you can have Homer Price flashbacks.

I like old-fashioneds: solid, and good deep flavor. I used to strongly favor cake doughnuts but nowadays try for something a little less dense and therefore presumably less sugar at a time -- I'm eating more raised doughnuts these days. There are a couple of small chains around here, but I don't have a strong preference among the local doughnutiers. Back in 1970s South Dakota, Dunkin Doughnuts used to be it, but the competition is better now. And just as fattening.

Make that Dunkin Donuts... it bothered me as I wrote it, but time's expired to edit.

OOOOOOOOOOhhhhh gimme a glazed crueller from Dunkin' Donuts please

O. K. I'll take two!!

Krispy Kreme Original Glazed all the way. They're even good weeks old, though exponentially better fresh...

"Even good weeks old" is not a ringing endorsement.

Happy Monkey · 05-30-2006, 12:53 PM

Right - how would you know? Boxes of donuts should be empty before they have a chance to get stale.

wolf · 05-30-2006, 12:56 PM

Any donut that is still edible more than 26 hours after it's conception should not be considered appropriate as a food source.

Twinkie food groupe ???

wolf · 05-30-2006, 01:42 PM

The rules for Twinkies are different. Donuts that pride themselves on being freshly made, best served hot, etc. are held to a different standard.

Ibby · 05-30-2006, 10:24 PM

Hey, I never said I LET them get that old. But they ended up being that old. And they're so damn good, I couldn't not eat them.

Trilby · 06-04-2006, 02:27 PM

OMG. I just heard. There is a ballpark in St. Louis that serves bacon-cheeseburgers on grilled KRISPY KREME glazed doughnuts. *faints dead away from the anticipation* I WANT ONE!

Natch, the health Nazi's are having their say...but, DAMN! that sounds too good to pass up!
