Title: krispykreme
Post by: Forth Bridges on March 22, 2011, 09:49:13 pm: http://www.krispykreme.co.uk/ (http://www.krispykreme.co.uk/)

I wish to ask if any of you good people have tried any of the doughnuts from this company/shop? alas there not come north yet, but like Wiko I dare say there will be here soon.

These things shouldn't even be called doughnuts and there should be an EU law to stop them. I tried one and that was enough for me. I prefer the regular kind as found in a bakery/cake shop, preferably filled with apple or jam.

Post by: drterror666 on March 25, 2011, 10:00:25 am: Yes, they are. I'll put it to you this way. There are two doughnuts in the shop. One is a glazed Krispy Kreme monstrosity and the other has come out of the fryer for a few minutes, has been rolled in some sugar and is fresh, warm and oozing with jam/apple.

Which one would you pick?

I'm hungry now...

Post by: wjp666 on March 25, 2011, 02:58:14 pm: only 2 donuts in a shop? what sort of bakery is that?! i don't think they're gonna pull much of a profit with those work ethics.

Post by: drterror666 on March 25, 2011, 06:42:33 pm: No, there are loads of doughnuts in the shop, but those two are on the counter for you to choose one.

This is going to get silly now, isn't it?

First tried them in the USA in 2004, for some reason they don't seem as good over here (probably more to do with being on holiday than being made differently over here).
They are very pricey for what they are though.

I think I'm going dyslexic. I just read that as 'multiple sclerosis' :/

That's what Krispy Kreme doughnuts do to your brain!

Post by: smurfboy on March 30, 2011, 05:41:45 pm: Having said that I love Krispy Kremes, I will say that the Glamour special edition variety is pretty horrible. I'm not even sure what the glitter-threaded shocking pink topping is meant to taste of or is even made of, and quite frankly I think I'm better off not knowing. From now on if a colour doesn't exist in nature, I'm not going to eat it in food.

Post by: oldspice on March 31, 2011, 06:21:24 am: I'm baffled by the name. Krispykreme? Donuts are supposed to be squidgy and jammy. If they're crispy - aren't they stale?

Post by: Cherry_Ripe on March 31, 2011, 11:58:45 am: On my way back from a trip to London I brought a tray of Krispykreme doughnuts (they have a shop at Paddington Station), they are massively overrated and nobody who ate one really enjoyed it. I will stick to bringing Millies cookies and muffins back in future.
