Doughnuts - WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Alias #23]

I will eat a jam doughnut if it is going but in terms of basic supermarket bakery items I would rather a cookie or muffin.

As a child I found the smell of seaside doughnuts quite vile.

Well they do often fry them in the same oil as the chicken nuggets and haddock

This reminds me that one of my least favourite smells is OLD AND VERY OBVIOUSLY USED ABOUT FIFTY TIMES OIL

 

[Alla]

I really like them, and like pizzas, most of the supermarket ones are not very good. Can't remember which year I had the last one.

When I went to New York it really was an eye opener seeing all the sugary snacks on offer.

True but those definitely are meant to be a treat, not something to eat all the time

 

[RJN]

I must say that I do like a CRONUT

I was going to go get one in New York last week but the line was too long so I didn’t get one

 

[Alias #23]

I don’t know why you could HATE them, I suppose done wrong they can be oily and horrid.

I miss jam doughnuts, they don’t do them here. They fill them with red bean paste which is NOT the same

Oh I quite like red bean paste. One of my favourite novelty food outings is a jaunt to the cake shop (there are more than one but I have my favourite) in Chinatown. Red bean paste AHOY!

Not the biggest fan but I do like these a lot but rarely have one. We call them gravy rings here though I’m sure they are named differently everywhere else.

As in "do you want to lick my gravy ring"?

 

[Christian]

They're foul taste-wise, but even worse, those sugary ones are terribly messy to eat. That's a massive NO NO for me.

 

[Penelope]

Do love a good CROISSANT (sweet OR savoury) though

 

[RJN]

my favorite morning pastry is coffee cake

PROPER OLD FASHIONED BRITISH JAM DOUGHNUT WITH CRUNCHY SUGAR ONLY PLEASE

(not strictly true, would eat any doughnut, but those are the BEST)

 

[Rita]

I love a GOOD DOUGHNUT.

 

[COB]

I don't really like doughnuts, they're usually far too sweet.

this is how I feel about all of my food preferences

I swear you could start any food topic and Moopy would be on it like a stoner.

Thank god the days of MOONBABY'S ANO CLUB are LONG GONE.

Thank god the days of MOONBABY'S ANO CLUB are LONG GONE.

Was that actually a thing or a Moopy gag?

 

[Kate]

There was a half serious thread IIRC.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Don't get me wrong, I like being in shape, but food is a better quick fix than the sheer effort of exercise.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Good shape requires lots of food.

I don't care to have a huge muscle bod. You can be thin and in good shape.

That wasn’t the point of what I said. The stress was on lot of food.

 

[RJN]

You can’t even exercise properly (cardio or strength) without eating enough food, including carbs. And only eating “healthy” food is unsustainable and boring and unnecessary

I'm definitely in the live to eat camp here. So much food so little time

 

[COB]

You definitely need to keep up the intake to maintain an impressive physique, like so:

 

[OutSynk]

I've had way too many lately and it shows. Some of them can be dry and I hate those. My faves are the ones with caramel glaze and caramel filling and they have to be nice and fatty and moist. Wow I just gained weight by typing this.

 

[SystemAddict]

Having a slight TUM that doubles as a doughnut holder can be quite advantageous.

slight

 

[Marilyn]

GRAVY RINGS?!

 

[RJN]

After yesterday’s discussion, this vile display caught my eye today

 

[COB]

I'd probably try it once, I'll be honest

 

[RJN]

I’ve had the Oreo flavored one (delicious but sickening) but there’s something horrible about the idea of the sour patch kids one

 

[Pipo]

doughnuts are a gift sent from God. Even these monstrosities

Ok I need the chocolate strawberry one

Can you get that sour patch kids one shipped over to me please?

 

[Devil]

Meh, once a year or so is fine if they are randomly there, but I’m a savoury girl so would much rather a nice cheese scone

 

[octophone]

I love a doughnut but one donut and one only with weeks in between. If you start having doughnuts as a regular snack, you're just creating an unsustainable level of decadence.

 

[Indie]

Sugared ring doughnuts or jam/custard filled - YES
Sickly sweet iced Krispy Kreme style - GOD NO

 

[octophone]

Yes. This is the correct answer.

 

[lolly]

I'm with Indie and octy. I do like a plain iced ring as well, though.
