Favorite doughnuts

[vniow]

I like basic glazed the best, powerded sugar is a close second and creme-filled chocolate is the third.

I also like long johns, but not as much.

[krossfyter]

cream filled chocolate covered ones.

[jelloshotsrule]

crumb topped by entenmanns'

ps. a lot of silly threads to kill some time? or what?

Politics make me hungry.

[GeeYouEye]

Krispy Kreame, any kind. They make the best doughnuts, hands down, especially plain glazed when microwaved for 5 seconds. Of non-KKs, I'd have to say Winchell's Jelly Doughnuts. Hmm... now that I think about it, all of Winchell's are good.

[krossfyter]

mmm kk

[Mr. Anderson]

I don't like doughnuts, fat pills actually. But I ended up eating two this morning because someone brought them in at the lab. One glazed, one chocolate covered, good with coffee. I think it was the first one I've had in months. I'd prefer a bagel or muffin instead.

[jelloshotsrule]

not all donuts are "fat pills". not to mention the fact that who cares? don't have to eat them constantly. loosen up oldy mcOlderson

otis spunkmeyer muffins have something like 900 calories a piece...... not that that's what you're eating.

I realize that, but more often than not they do pack a punch. And it isn't a big deal, I run enough that it all evens out.

And if I care about it than thats fine, its not like I'm telling you you can't have one yourself.

damn. now you tell me. i had just tossed my box of entenmanns in the trash! ahhhh

[Groovsonic]

Krispy Kreme all the way!

I used to like dunkin Doughnuts, but then I had a fresh, hot krispy kreme, and I can't go back.

Also, for our canadian friends, I do like Tim Hortons, especially the timbits.

[scem0]

OMG Krispt Kremes are sooooooooooooo good....... Only when
they are just made though. When they aren't hot off the assembly
line, then they taste like any other doughnut, but right after they
are made, they are sooooooooooooooo good. We have 2 krispy
kreme locations in Austin, Texas. I wish I could go there more.

They will give you free doughnuts too. Only if you look poor like me :D.

As for my favorite doughnut. A whole bunch of glazed. Maybe one
with cinnamon and sugar on it. Yumsky.

[wdlove]

Personally I stay away from donuts, unhealty. Will eat them if offered at a funtion an no other choice. No real favorite, not choosey. Prefer a bagel 1st with a muffin as an alternative. A Raisin Cinnamon Bagel is my favorite. My favorite muffin is a Brain Raisin. I just prefer something healthy!

[krossfyter]

mmmmm kk




try light doughnuts

[drastik]

I'm glad the world is now being exposed to Krispie Kreme. We've had them here in the South for decades, infact I live about five minutes from one of the first every opened, thirty some years ago.

I like old fashioned, but I don't eat a lot of them. Like Dukestreet, I'll take a bagel anyday.

[jelloshotsrule]

i don't actually eat donuts much either.

i've kinda gotten sucked into the nyc bagel thing.

toasted sesame with tofutti cream cheese. bingo!

[diorio]

I like bagels more than doughnuts. If you eat too many doughnuts you feel like ****. I still like doughnuts though, mostly things like apple fritters (probably a pastry not a doughnut) long johns, and jelly filled. Mmm, I'm getting hungry now.

[medea]

I love the glazed ones with the chocolate frosting on top....ymmmmmm:p

[krossfyter]

mmmm kk



try non fat low carb doughnuts

[cryptochrome]

French Cruellers, definitely. Got that eggy taste and unique consistency.

For the record, I think Krispy Kremes are nasty. Way too greasy and way way too sweet. The Pepsi of donuts, if you will. Can't understand why they get such slavish popularity. We just got one nearby and people were lining up hours before they opened, and not one damned (heh) Chik-fil-A in this entire region.

[krossfyter]

Sweet is good .... sour is good.


If its not sweet enought... it isnt worth being a doughnut...might as well just be a fekin bagel.

I like food and music that hits... that has a punch in one way or another. Nothing weak.... or flat.... too subtle.... or transparent.

A bagel with creme cheese is more unhealthy then a doughnut.
I read that somewhere. Bagels are not healthy. Sorry to inform
you of that. BUt they aren't healthy.

he didn't say he wanted cream cheese... just bagels

which are certainly healthier than donuts, though not "health food"

no one could think cream cheese is good for you. thought tofutti version isn't as bad.

[krossfyter]

he said "cream"

[DakotaGuy]

The best doughnuts are Wall Drug doughnuts. For any of you lucky enough to someday go on a trip to see the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore, make sure you stop by my hometown of Wall, SD and hit the huge Wall Drug tourist attraction. Yes a lot of the store is a little goofy, but make sure you have some free ice water and a Wall Drug doughnut. They are the old fashioned cake doughnuts, deep fat fried. The doughnuts have been made the same there for over 50 years. NO THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY, but they are soooooooo good! Go ahead and have a little frosting on top if you like, or have them plain, they are still good. When I went back home for Thanksgiving, my fellow teachers wanted me to bring back a couple dozen. They left the teachers lounge like nothing I ever saw!

[bousozoku]

There used to be a chain called "Spudnuts", which used potatoes in their doughnut recipe, much like potato bread. Two other choices would be the Apple Cider doughnuts from an Apple orchard in Langhorne, PA and TastyKakes cinnamon-sugar covered.

I'd rather have bagels than doughnuts, but I don't eat either much any more.

[Choppaface]

Krispy Kreme are good, but I can only have about one and a half of them before my stomach gets all weird. a tad to sugary...

[3rdpath]

ahhh the joys of krispy kreme.

don't eat them anymore but their taste is forever etched onto my palate.

my lord. When I start I can't stop. Yes - I feel sick. But, No- I can't
stop. They are sooooo good. I eat about 6, and then I say just
1 more, until I eat 9 or 10 and then I finally stop. I LOVE them.

I like Ramen more :D.

[krossfyter]

scemo you must have a large tapworm in your stomach

[wdlove]

How does Krispy Kreme compare to other donuts ex. Dunkin Donuts etc.?

[ChicagoMac]

Boston cream all the way! I had two this morning during a rehearsal (I snuck the second one about an hour later:D ). And why on earth would you ruin the taste of a doughnut with something as disgusting as coffee!?!?

I know I'm probably stepping on sacred ground with this next statement, but Crispy Kreme is a fad just like Star Bucks. In a few years they'll both be bankrupt and you'll wish you had invested in Apple.:p

They don't.......

Krispy Kremes are on a totally different level. You can't compare
the two. Let's see...... It is like comparing an AMD processor to a
Pentium II.... :D

[krossfyter]

tapeworm

I think Starbucks is another company like Apple, don't count it out. It has good fundamentals as to its Mission Statement. A good product & service!

get any. My mom is a health food freak :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;) :D

What kind of AMD?

I find that KK's are good, but after two or so bites, my teeth hurt (had them checked, no cavities), and after half of one (chocolate frosted w/ sprinkles, that is) I'm ready to puke. DD sucks total.... well, you get the idea.

I'll take a bagel any day. No muffins. Scones are good, but I like them dry. Coffee is nasty, I generally have baked goods with milk (I'll have to give this up when I go veggie, I hate soy milk), or a tea maybe. Juice every so often goes well too.

i disagree on that one

taking over every possible street corner and creating high high caffeine products that hook their customers?

philip morris also has a great mission statement i bet.

vegetarian generally doesn't mean you don't drink milk....

not that it's not a great idea to give up dairy, it is. it's probably worse than meat actually.

what soy milk brands have you tried? some are better than others.

any flavors? or just plain?

vanilla is pretty good..... not the same as a glass of milk, but not bad.

I forgot the brand, bit it was nasty. I do remeber that it was plain, maybe a flavor would help mask it. Or a better brand.

I'm hoping to go vegan, not just vegetarian. Any advice?

try silk.... it's a pretty good brand. vanilla is pretty good. chocolate's pretty good.

i tried a non dairy yogurt once and i nearly puked. had one bite. that was that. but i talked to a friend who said that it was probably just the brand. so i got silk's version. haven't tried it yet, but i wouldn't doubt that it's the brand.

as for going vegan... i'm not. but i wish i were. i am going to try to ween off dairy in the next months. already moved to tofutti cream cheese. it's tasty.

i would recommend going veggie first. i mean, small steps, right? although, at the same time, if you went all the way right away, you only deal with the "withdrawal" once. by that i mean, you only deal with not eating foods you used to eat once

do you eat a lot of veggie foods? that is, a lot of salads or things that could easily come without meat (stir frys, etc).?

when i stopped eating meat. i ate a lot of cheese sandwiches and such. which is why i'm not sure whether to say go straight to vegan or what.

so after babbling. i'd say, just be ready to try new foods, and eat a lot so you maintain your protein. you DO NOT NEED as much protein as most people eat but make sure you get your rice and beans and such... that's key.

i personally eat a good amount of soy "meats"... mainly cause they're quick and easy and high in protein... but some of em have egg whites. so, depends what you want to go for...

either way, morningstar farms is your friend. :)

[Doctor Q]

How can you people spend your time discussing donuts when there are so many problems in the world, such as... um... er..., hey, what's that I smell? Fresh Krispy Kremes!?!? Oh boy!! Get out of the way and gimmie those devil's food chocolate (http://www.krispykreme.com/images/devilsbig.jpg) ones!!

[scem0]

What kind of AMD?

Ummmmmmm....... an athalon. At least. Maybe a ClawHammer :D;) ;) :D .

[rainman::|:|]

i love krispy kreme glazed... my mom says they're so good because there's a drop of vanilla in the batter... i say it's heroin... but whatever :)

pnw

[scem0]

LOL, I wouldn't be suprised. They certainly are addicting.

Not to mention, they aren't too expensive for how good they taste.

I think I am going to eat a lot of them once I move out.... :D;)

[wdlove]

Krispy Kreme having a gound breaking in Medford this week, so will have a chance to find out soon!

[Doctor Q]

When they opened the Krispy Kreme in La Habra, CA (in Orange County, south of Los Angeles) a few years ago, people were driving there from at least as far away as the San Fernando Valley. And I'm talking about driving in L.A.'s infamous traffic! That's at least two hours round-trip. That seemed a little nutty to me, but in any case it is no longer necessary since there are now Krispy Kreme places all over.

Organizations like middle schools and the Girl Scouts sell them too, in front of supermarkets. It is the latest fundraising gimmic for various groups here.

I was in Park City, UT last month and they had a Krispy Kreme stand right next to one of the hotels at the base of a ski resort. You don't have to worry about the calories if you are going to burn them off skiing!

[job]

To reiterate what (almost) everyone else has said:

Krispy Kreme.

Nothing comes close.

[whocares]

...and try fresh backed "croissants" straight from a French bakery for breakfeast!
So much tastier and possably healthier (although they're packed full of butter, yum)

[scem0]

probably healthier, but not much if any. Well, donuts are deep fried
and the covered in sugar and then who knows what. But fresh
baked croissants aren't as good as fresh baked crispy kremes :D.

[job]

While travelling through France we ate these croissants with little chocolate bits in them.

I must admit I liked them better than your average doughnut.

[Mr. Anderson]

I had some beignets and café au lait in New Orleans - now that wasn't bad either.

And I've had fresh croissants as well - in general, fried stuff done well always seems to be better, although the croissants make up for it in butter and flaky goodness - I couldn't say which would be better.
