Beefy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Tim Horton's here in Canada. The donuts are a lighter and more bready texture, as opposed to the heavier donuts I am used to back in Australia. Only had Krispy Kreme a couple of times...... I find them far too greasy and sickly sweet in comparison.

swt61 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Well I'm not a big Donut fan, except of coarse the wooden ortho variety. I've always been more of a bagel guy, but I agree that a KK now and again is a pretty tasty treat.
cetoole Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Britts Donuts were pretty damn tasty. Not a huge KK fan, so this was a welcome treat.
Fitz Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Britts Donuts were pretty damn tasty. Not a huge KK fan, so this was a welcome treat. How can somebody who seems to be a huge fucking sugar addict not love KK?
Hopstretch Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 How can somebody who seems to be a huge fucking sugar addict not love KK? KK donuts are like drinking half the bottle of Scotch in one go. Sometimes sipping slowly is more fun. Also, Dunkies Boston Cream 4 -- Krispy Kreme 0

spritzer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Pffft, puny donuts. I'll have to throw Ice-jam and treat you lot to some proper pastries.
swt61 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Seconded! Just no fish in mine please.
spritzer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Just no fish in mine please. Yeah, I'm not a fan of fish either.
swt61 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Yeah, I'm not a fan of fish either. Oh I like fish OK, especially my native Halibut and Salmon, but not in my pastries. I know you Vikings, and most of you like to sneak fish in everywhere.
spritzer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 We tend to try and sneak ham into everything, croissant with ham and cheese (which is mixed with ham) being the most obvious one...

Wmcmanus Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 I'm a Krispy Kreme fan. I disagree with the host and lean towards the findings of Vicki. These were all hand-made to KK's factory production. I think the OP would find pleasure in visiting a Krispy Kreme. (There was one on the way to the shooting range/possibly airport as well). KK would have a doughnut (as opposed to Dunkin' Donuts' 'donut' spelling) tolerance of roughly 3%, as opposed to the ~25% variance of Britt's. The taste was pretty good, though I still prefer KK. A large problem was these was a grossly inconsistent texture. The aforementioned chewey texture was countered with a spattering of areas that were a bit over done. The variances are deeper than this, but you'l just have to go out and try one or two (dozen) for yourself. The reason I think the OP would enjoy a KK is 1) the consistency of the doughnut and 2) the wide range of flavours (Brrittts' has only glazed, iirc, where KK has a variety closer to that of the amount of cookies Wayne has eaten and compared before. I'd say 6-7/10 tops on the Doughnut-gon scale. **BRENT** When I write a review, you are to worship and adore me for my efforts and agree with all of my conclusions. If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.
Dusty Chalk Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Pffft. [king leonidas]This. Is. HEAD-CASE![/king leonidas]
diebenkorn Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Are the Krispy Kreme comparisons to the hot or the not-hot variety?
swt61 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Well obviously if you can catch them when the 'Hot Now' sign is lighted they'll be at their best, but I think they still hold up well at room temp.
Hopstretch Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Yeah, I'm not a fan of fish either.
The Monkey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I like that viking picture. He's kinda SOL after he kills the shark, though, isn't he?
Sherwood Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 He paddles that shit back to shore, Dinny.
manaox2 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I like that viking picture. He's kinda SOL after he kills the shark, though, isn't he? He waits for the blood to attract another shark, gouges it in the eye, and steers that shit to shore.
Dusty Chalk Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Why doesn't he just gouge this one in the eye (and steer it to shore)? Yeah yeah, I know, where's the fun in that?
