Beck haz a sad, sad, sad 😟 or the Donette tragedy

These days, of course, you can wear a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, and acquire KK’s evil products with complete anonymity. They have them up here in Kanada, too, where they are known as Krispy Kreme Kanada (KKK), but they are considered a subversive organization due to their negative impact on Tim Horton’s, a national institution on a par with a beaver wearing a Trudeau campaign hat and carrying a sheaf of maple leaves in one paw and a bowl of poutine in the other. Their donuts are actually pretty good (especially the maple glazed), though they’re constantly being denigrated on social media by the KKK.

Hadn’t thought of the mask angle! Even better. Thanks.

I’m heading out to lay my pristine white mask on the dashboard so I will be ready for my morning run to …ah, the post office…ah, the pharmacy…ah, to pick up a bag of cat food at the vets… Ignore the crumbs on my shirt, dear, they’ve been there since I ate my shredded mini-wheats at dawn.

And we don’t kid about Tim Hortons or poutine in my family, stand up and salute, maybe, but never, we never kid.

And you just had to mention maple glazed, didn’t you? The gods will get you for that, mark my words.

Evil.
You’re all evil.

KKK, indeed.

:smirk:

You started it. Be careful what you wish for. Or what you’re telling me, in obscene detail you’re wishing for.

BBBoo

Yep, Boo, I love reading food porn.
Keep em coming.
I protest but it’s half-hearted.

You are all cruel.

There’s Dunkin Donuts in Zurich. That’s an hour’s ride away. And they don’t even have the chocolate covered munchkins.

No crullers
No maple bars.
No glazed old fashioned, forget about even dreaming about a pumpkin old fashioned.
No fritters.

I should really stop looking at the Top Pot website.

There are no Krispy Kremes near me, and it makes me very sad. There are few things more tasty than a plain Krispy Kreme doughnut hot off the glazing line with an ice cold glass of milk.

If fresh doughnuts shipped decently, or even passably, both of you would have a care package on your doorstep, but alas…

FWIW, poutine and fresh lobster and cod bought from the fisherperson who caught it are way, way out of my reach.

I will dispute this, ill-informed love of krispykreme. We have a krispy kreme donuttery, we also have several local establishments that are true doughnut bakeries including one who’s signature item is the venerable maple bar. krispy kreme are krap donuts. Those are the only donuts that are left over at the end of company meetings. Messy, sticky poofballs of air shaped into a torus. Not real doughnuts.
Maple bars chocolate bars, some with mini chocolate chips, fritters eclairs plain glazed sugared frosted rings of yummy delight that don’t collapse into a glaze sodden mess at the first bite, these are things a doughnut is and krispy kreme donuts are not

Now I want a powdered sugar donut. Damn.

NEXT bag that is purchased for the Baby Wrekker tea parties, place leftovers in your very own Ziploc bags. IMHO, Ziploc closures on food-containing bags (cereal, frozen fish, shredded cheese…) are all CRAP and never seal properly!

Forget about full-sized powdered sugar donuts with raspberry jelly filling. You are a discerning foodist. The raspberry jelly in those things tastes RED, with a metallic aftertaste on your tongue.

OHGAWD, I want some crack donuts now!

~VOW

Me too! Every :doughnut::doughnut::doughnut::doughnut: variety mentioned. DorkVader, this is your fault too. Hang your heads in shame for what you’ve done.

I’m not a huge donut fan, but I do get the occasional craving for a glazed raspberry-filled or a custard-filled that’s iced with chocolate. I used to like the chocolate-iced donettes when I was a kid, but then I realized the coating was dark brown wax with no real chocolate flavor.

Krispy Kremes are only good when they’re so fresh, you’ve watched them being made. For every minute after that, they lose a tenth of their yumminess. They’re on a par with grocery store bakery donuts.

You know what I crave? French toast. Not the skinny-white-bread kind, but the thick slices of brioche that are golden with a hint of crunch on the outside and almost custardy on the inside. Pass the syrup, please.

I used to love cinnamon rolls. They started giving me indigestion. I already have inflammation from GERD. The cinnamon irritates it even more. I sure miss them.

Funny how we crave foods that we can’t have.

I can still eat a slice of cinnamon raisin toast. (Once in awhile) There’s not very much cinnamon in raisin bread anymore.

Well, I did say they needed to be hot off the line. They also warm over very well in a microwave.

Hot, fresh KK donuts are like eating cotton candy. They are simply sweet air that evaporate on your tongue, leaving a sweet flavor.

I don’t know what the process is that turns them to lead as they cool. Something to do with alchemy, I’m sure.

If raisin bread is something you enjoy, look for ā€œOregon Trailā€ brand. I’ve found it at Sam’s Club in both Southern California and Arizona. One BITE of that bread, and you’ll never, ever touch any other brand of raisin bread!

I think my local Sams has Oregon Trail raisin bread. I buy bread there whenever I’m in the store.

The thought counts. It really does. Thanks.
