Donuts are gross.

Depends on the donut. The ones from the stall on the seafront at Hunstanton are cracking. Especially when there's a cold east wind blowing (which there usually is there).

Are you talking about warm donuts?
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.

Yep. A piping hot doughnut sprinkled with sugar sitting on the sea front at Sunny Hunny when a chill wind is blowing across the Wash (which it usually is)... that's a joy. With a cup of tea too.

In 1976 I was working as a Community Service Volunteer in Birkenhead. Everybody raved about the doughnuts which you got at the pier head in Liverpool. I foolishly went and tried one with a few pals. The bloke fried the dough to order. He then dipped them in sugar. They were the greasiest, soggiest, blandest thing I have ever eaten... burned on the outside, lukewarm - almost liquid on the inside and covered in damp sugar.
I've swerved them ever since.

Ooooh the mini doughnuts, like out of a trailer at a fair. They are lovely, an annual treat in this household (we live basically next door to the big fair).

Americans obsessing over the price of eggs.
STFU.

I just want to get a salad at Whole Foods without dealing with rich-ass Burners, LMAO.
I'll stick to the high desert.
Nightmare fuel for me.

But... to each their own.
