Doughnuts.
(Yes, my American friends. You have been spelling it wrong all this time)
I adore doughnuts. I have to try not to buy any, or I would eat them all without regret or conscience.
I don’t care that they are bad for you. Most things that taste great are.
It doesn’t matter to me where they come from. Specialist shop, local bakery, or supermarket. I love them all.
Whether glazed ring.
Jam-filled.
(Americans call it ‘Jelly’, but it’s not. That’s something different.)
A twisty Yum-Yum.
Or my top-favourite, custard-filled.
To my mind, there is no such thing as a bad doughnut!
Yum!

One of the highlights of my college years was being introduced the the East Coast phenomenon of Dunkin Donuts(which I always found misspelled). The one near my housing was open 24 hours and was a perfect 10 minute walk away. A great place for a cup of coffee and a doughnut when the essay was not turning out to my satisfaction at 2a.m.

Once in a while, I’ll pick up a couple of maple bacon long johns at the nearest local supermarket. Somehow, the bacon bits and the sweet maple glazing work very well together. I like all doughnuts, including raspberry jelly doughnuts and simple glazed ring doughnuts.
I’ll never forget my worst Thanksgiving ever. It was back in my days at the university in Tucson. I waited all evening for a lady to show up, and she never did. Since all the fast foods were closed that night, I ended up going to a Dunkin’ Donuts. All they had left were stale doughnuts. I bought some, and washed them down back at the dormitory. Aargh!

Doughnuts (that is how I spell them) are my favorite. But I like the odd flavors. White Coconut is first on my list, followed by toasted coconut. Hubby likes chocolate frosted cake doughnuts. In our family, it is a duel between Dunkin’ Donuts (the way they spell it) and Krispy Kreme. I confess to loving all breakfast treats. I especially loved the Quesitos and Cafe Con Leché from a little Cuban restaurant in Florida.

You picked some great doughnuts, Pete. Yum! Yes, many Americans spell it incorrectly. Playdough, too. Our ever-famous store, Dunkin’ Donuts, certainly reinforces the incorrect spelling. I didn’t know that jam was the proper filling, not jelly. Best to you, Pete.

Well you do call jam ‘Jelly’, so it is confusing. Also you call jelly ‘Jello’, so it’s a double confusion. 🙂

Actually jam and jelly are sold side by side at the grocery store. Jam is much thicker. Jello is it’s own thing, a powder that you mix with water and refrigerate. Best to you, Pete.
