(OT) If you had to name a doughnut captain of your doughnut team, what kind of doughnut would it be?

Lately I've been off donuts do to a fitness and diet thingy that has taken over my mind. Hoping to get it exorcised soon.

 

a regular doughnut habit will, for most people, pack on a quick 10 pounds. do not recommend. i probably have 3 or fewer doughnuts per month. but i make them count.

 

Doughnuts leave me feeling empty inside, although, I've never had a Paula's glazed. Maybe they would fill the whole in my heart left by Freddie's closing

 

one of the reasons i love the paula's peanut stick: between the cakiness of the dough used and the heaping portion of actual pulverized peanut coating, that is a treat that will keep you feeling full for hours.

This whole Bavarian/Boston Cream thing is nucking futs. Who wants a donut with about a 90% chance I look like I just finished a gay porn shoot? Not to mention the 100% certainty I'll make chocolate somewhere on my face. The taste is ok but nothing special. I can think of half a dozen donuts I'd rather have captain my donut team:

 

Glazed

Chocolate glazed

Jelly filled powdered

Jelly filled glazed

Any holiday type donut

Cruller

 

You're a heathen, but at least you like doughnuts.

 

I'm late to the party here, and I'm fairly confident my answer will not be acceptable to many, but I would go with the chocolate munchkin.

 

Even worse: I don't really like donuts.

 

Unless, that is, funnel cake/fried dough (like what you get at a county fair) counts -- that stuff is great.

this

 

and this.

 

If I'm going with somethin' sweet for breakfast (why I would ever choose a donut over eggs and corned beef hash is beyond me), I'm going with a cinnamon roll or even better, a cheese danish.

You two, on the other hand, are terrorists.

We have a split house here, I love Fried Doug, she loves Funnel Cake. Somehow, we make it work. Had Paczki the other day for fat Tuesday, but really peanut-covered chocolate or E'claire are my jam. Jam, however, are not.

So she's ok with your relationship with Doug? And is he always high, or do you only love him when he's high?

Something happened tonight.  Some of you will understand.  Others, mostly the fry cake paste-eaters, won't.  And I won't even attempt to explain to the paczki whatever the hell it is guy.

 

I walked into Noco on Elmwood tonight.  It's a gas station with a Tim Hortons.  One of the women behind the doughnut counter rushed out with something that I had lost, something that was very important to me.

 

I eat doughnuts rarely now, as compared to when I created this thread.  But I needed a reason to very heavily tip her.

 

So I asked what the best doughnut was.  (They were out of Bavarian Cream.)

 

A chocolate caramel doughnut.  Think Bavarian Cream but with caramel inside.

 

Holy ######.  It is a Rolo in doughnut form.

 

It is not our new doughnut captain.  It is our new, 400 calorie, doughnut KING!

 

All bow before it, you peanut sticks.

Chocolate caramel Tim Hortons. On it.

 

I do tend to doubt, though, that a Tim Horton product could be superior to Paulas, Famous, etc.

 

Even so: I will investigate.

 

Finally, I am driven to distraction by your lost precious item and the need to heavily tip the gal at the NOCO.

And why the need to buy a donut to tip her? Is it common to tip NOCO clerks? Is it even common to tip Good Samaritins? I know she was working, but what she did seems out of the scope of her job. I would argue she was acting as a private citizen. I wonder if she first refused the tip, citing principle or corporate policy.

I think it's within the scope of a donut shop counter clerk's job to secure a customer's lost personal effects. It is maybe a little strange that she elected to hang onto it, rather than give it to corporate for them to figure out. But, hey. All's well that ends well.

 

As for refusing the gratuity from Eleven: C'mon, man.

If he tipped a Tim Horton's employee it goes into a community pot which no one ever sees. (Source: I once worked at a Tim Horton's)

 

It was passed via handshake.  And no one else was working behind the Tim's counter.

She did me a good turn; I did her one.

I went to this place in Raleigh last month, called duck donuts..... Its hard to explain, but there was a line out the door, they are basically like donuts made from the angles who also make cake... You order with any combo of icing and toppings. Maple and coconut was delicious.... I need to franchise one of these places

It all started in the Outer Banks. Duck. It's all the rage now here in these parts.

I'm not saying it's the best donut in the world, but I did eat 6 fresh hot ones and it made my day. Every time I visit my family I discover something new, also found an awesome NY bagel place just outside of wake forest
