Krispy Kreme v. Dunkin' Donuts - The Final Showdown

[AGDee]

Perhaps it comes down to whether you like glazed donuts or not. I'm definitely a "not" in that department. DD glazed are nasty too. All glazed donuts are nasty. They should be doused in lots of powdered sugar or frosted and they should be filled with lots of yummy stuff- chocolate frosted lemon filled, powdered sugar with chocolate frosting filling, boston cream/custard, powdered sugar with strawberry filling... yum. Glaze is just... flavorless.

that's funny. I could really do without the powered sugar -- have never liked it.

All joking aside, I think you're partly right. I love glaze. Icing on a doughnut is okay, depending on the flavor, but not nearly as good to me as glaze. I can't stand powdered sugar on doughnuts—it tastes too dry to me. The only filling I like is cream—not Boston cream, just what KK would call "Kreme." Otherwise, filling in doughnuts is just plain gross to me.

See, I like glazed donuts. I just don't like Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. I mean, it's like a different kind of glaze or something. It's like a really wet glaze. That's disgusting. They've got to be using a different ingredient or something, because they taste weird, and they leave a weird after-taste. My favorite donuts from DD are the blueberry ones, and they too are glazed.

There used to be a donut place in Minnesota I used to go to when I was in undergrad called Bosa Donuts. They didn't have the variety like DD, but their glazed and sugared donuts were really yummy. So it isn't just the glaze for me.
