Since losing most of my excess weight in 2003, I haven't had a single donut. I might have donuts in moderation if only they didn't make them with hydrogenated oils (trans-fats). Maybe someday, a donut maker will see the light and eliminate hydrogenated oils from the process.
It delivers flee doughnuts to local leaders, charities, and reporters as it moves into a community.
If the doughnuts have “flees” I hope they aren’t charging money for them. That just wouldn’t be right!
Donuts are something to have occasionally. A little hydrogenated oil isn’t going to kill you. It is eating the stuff everyday that does that.
Ditto for fried clams. I used to eat fried clams by the bucket. But no more. Nothing but steamers for me. In fact, I just had a bucket of steamers yesterday with dripping (real) butter and a couple pints of beer. Not a gram of trans fat in any of that.
I do miss the fried clams though. They used to give me that "full" feeling.
It's a shame that Dunkin Donuts doesn't even have one donut that's made without trans-fats, or I'd have one from time to time. I'm in a Dunkin Donuts pretty much every day but all I can ever get there except my daily cup of coffee is their low-carb bagel (which is quite good).
Tim Hortons is the best.
Their coffee is anyway.
And the turkey/bacon club sandwiches are to die for.
Mmmmmmm. Doughnuts!
Teaspoon of pancake batter + air injection extruder + boiling transfats = a pretty lousy doughnut . . . Krispy Kreme
Skip the chains and find a mom and pop bakery. I found one that makes a maple twist and the flavor comes from real maple syrup. It is a cake not a yeast and they use lard rather then shortening. Yummy beyond belief.
I grew up on Fried Clams. Nothing quite like them. Choice between lobster and fried clams? The clams win every time. When next I go to New England I will have my fix -— but it will be just that -— a fix. Steamers are a second best, but no less loved.

For the “health-conscious”, Krispy Kreme has Glazed Whole Wheat and Multigrain Cake doughnuts.
But seriously, you’d get artery-clogging ingredients at a fancy French bakery, too.
My wife and I love Dunkin Donuts. Fortunately there are none nearby!
It is a cake not a yeast and they use lard rather then shortening.
Is it just my imagination or were people healthier and thinner when we still cooked with lard? I seem to remember most people being satisfied with a small or medium order of fries.
Dunkin Donuts whole menu going zero grams trans fat by mid October -- even the doughnuts! Developing....
You may get your wish!!!
That last pic isn’t funny. It’s sad. Why am I laughing?
