NooOoo.
Watched a family member heat up a blueberry filled donut yesterday and was freaked out.
Have a skinny family member who loves donuts and would go once a week when the kids were little, sometimes I tagged along. When they try and hand you that free, greasy donut at Krispy Creme that has just been pulled out of the oil river... no thanks.
I'm no nationalist, but I am Canadian so you're not gonna find me disparaging doughnuts as a concept. However, like many things, much of the product out there is crap, because capitalism has ruined most snack foods.
A good doughnut is a thing of beauty, with the looks & tastes of a cake, often with several things going on, but in single-serving form. There has certainly been a bit of a doughnut renaissance here on the west coast at least. Like a lot of things, I think it started in Portland. One of the fancy places here, Cartems, makes both an Earl Grey doughnut AND a London Fog cream-filled that are both too good to even talk about without me wanting to go get one right now.
