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.

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. :lol:

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.

Bring another 20M residents to NZ and you'll get a bigger theme park. Know which I'd prefer....

I'm more excited about visiting the Gregg's drive thru in Manchester

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 :sick:

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. :lol:

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

Re: Doughnuts
 

Who cares, they taste good

Re: Doughnuts
 

I sneer at your KK doughnuts...mammas are far superior

Re: Doughnuts
 

That would be a Welcome Home. Love a trip to M&S Food.

Re: Doughnuts
 

Um...that's because donuts are sugary. If you don't like sugar, I advise against eating donuts...

Re: Doughnuts
 

There are degrees of sugary.

Re: Doughnuts
 

While they are light substance wise, they are the greasy donuts I've ever eaten. In Mississippi (USA) that is our only choice. No Dunkin Donuts here and I would kill for a coffee and Bavarian Crème from DD.

Re: Doughnuts
 

Not all donuts are sugary. Cake donuts aren't. It is what filling is inserted and what coating is on top. A sprinkling of powder sugar is not too sweet.

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. :thumbdown: Krispy Kreme :thumbdown:
