Gotta nuke something
Tim Hortons used to have an amazing donut called the Walnut Crunch. Was more a glazed cakey loaf packed with walnuts, but it was amazing.

Several years ago though Tims cut a bunch of stuff from their menu in their never-ending quest to attain ultimate mediocrity. Basically any of their donuts that required effort and more than a penny to make got nixed.

:agreed:

10 or 15 or Christ knows how many years ago, each Tim's location would bake their own donuts fresh every single day, by a person who actually knew how to loving make them, and they OWNED.

now they just pay some illiterate dipshit minimum wage to defrost an industrial pallet of factory-made hardtack and call them "donuts".

I'm old as gently caress and mad as hell and I'm not going to do anything about it.

WHENA MINA RENA VATIVE

It's the loaf shaped things at Friendly Donut in Henderson, Nevada. Nothing else is close.



The corners are all crisp. The interior soft and moist and warm, almost like cake (but not at all like cake doughnut). Faint hint of buttermilk throughout and at the very end a touch of lemon.


Looks a lot like a French cruller. Tim Horton's sells them under the name honey cruller and while they aren't mainstream enough to be considered best, I would like to throw them some love. They're a lot more airy and softer than most donuts and make you feel like less of a fat rear end for eating one.

Eclair is baked choux pastry, Boston Kreme is fried dough. They both have vanilla custard inside and topped with dark chocolate ganache, traditionally.

This applies to any food business where there's multiple layers of random poo poo encrusting the top of formerly normal proletarian food, i. e, the now (thankfully) old gourmet cupcakes fad

Walnut anything disappeared. Walnut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the original chunky cookies, but retarded idiot fuckups just put big chunks of chocolate in cookies now to call them chunky. Homemade is the only way to go now.

Blame china. Chinese demand has screwed up nut prices in general making walnuts more expensive. This year though it looks like prices might be coming down

$3 a piece? psh you can milk these dumbasses for way more than that. the gourmet donut place i was referring to above charge like $5-6 a pop for theirs even if it's just a pretty standard donut.

federal donuts charges either $11 or $20 a dozen (for "fancy" donuts) and their donuts are lame and cakey. if they didn't also serve coffee and fried chicken i would hate them and pray for their death, but as it is, they also serve coffee, and fried chicken.


hipster donuts are an expensive scourge. we the people must stand up for ourselves, and our right, to affordable fried dough!

To be honest, sometimes the best doughnut to me is when the grocery store has the day old doughnuts on sale - $1.99 for a dozen. I freeze them and they last for about month - heat them up in the microwave and the money saved on those 16 cent donuts is delicious. :)

Since I never actually answered the primary thread topic this is my answer.

Anyone who thinks a plain-rear end unflavoured donut is the best one should be put on some kind of federal list so the normal population can shun you deviant sickos

My first job when I was 15 was as a donut fryer. When I was 18 I worked at a different bakery that also had me working with donuts. With several years of "inside knowledge" I can tell you the best donut is a simple yeast donut with chocolate icing. Second up would be a cake donut with cinnamon and sugar. And finally, third would be a cake donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles (if you're a kid).

Feel free to PM me any of your donut questions.
