Doughnuts
Made it down south to Krispy Kreme with the kids as a holiday treat (as well as visiting the mega-fun park that is Rainbows End - seriously it's smaller than Dreamworld's carpark...).
Good doughnuts. Not sure if they are better than Dunkin Donuts though?
And certainly not as good as an Asda Jam-filled sugar coated 5-for-$1 bag-full doughnut.

Re: Doughnuts
It's madness, I know we have a bit of a doughnut drought in NZ but I heard people were queuing there for two hours or more at the krispy Cream Drive thru.
I'd be prepared to pay big money and queue for an hour for a bag of Asda or Sainsbobs Jam doughnuts.

Re: Doughnuts
Once Krispy Kreme was a small company in Atlanta. Since they went national, they've gone down hill. The only perfect donuts I know of are in Rockland, Maine at a bakery called Willow. They also sell them fresh at their local Hannaford's.

Re: Doughnuts
Mmmmm Tesco doughnuts. I'm not as posh as you lot with your Sainsbury's variety! Krispy Kream aint all that. I find them too sweet and sickly

Re: Doughnuts
Oh yes they have good doughnuts too; I remember last time I went to the UK being ridiculously excited to find that Greggs now have outlets in Motorway Services on the M25.
Not nearly early as exciting as finding M&S Food shop in the arrival Hall at Heathrow, though.

Re: Doughnuts
Krispy Creme equivalent to dunking your face in a bowl of sugar.

Re: Doughnuts
Use to work in a bakery and on Sundays I filled the donuts and did the powdered sugar dusting. Nothing overly sweet with them.
Fully sugar glazed donuts rob you of the taste of the donut itself.
