# but what about the Doughnuts you get from Blackpool?
£1 for 5 - hot off the Doughnut frying machine - covered in Caster Sugar?

# While I cannot speak of these Blackpool doughnuts (which I am sure are loverly)
My experience is based on the last time I was in Oxford and a workmate decided we stop off a place called Krispy Kreme Doughnuts...*shudders at the memory*

# they are just lard covered in coloured sugar
I mean they are lovely, but they do make you want to pour drain unblocker down your throat afterwards

# hahaha
i've only ever had them once when the wife came back from london with some.

i was sure to remind her that a box of 6 is your total daily calorific intake.

they were nice, but a bit pre fabricated, not a patch on 5 for a pound hot from the machine.

# I hope it's not too late for my doughnut anecdote
but I feel I have to get this off my chest.

About 7 years ago I had a "Krispy Kreme" doughnut and thought that it was the best doughnut I'd ever had.

As I hadn't been in Blighty since then, and they are not sold here, I often used to dream of them.

Fast forward to 2010. When my plane touched down at Heathrow and I'd dumped my bags, I rushed off to Harrods and headed straight for the Krispy Kreme counter and bought one. I sat down with a cup of coffee, and with mouth watering, I gently bit into the doughnut.

I cannot help but agree with the gentlemen who said they were lard covered with sugar. Thing is, why did I think they were so delicious back in 2003? My taste back in 2003 was mature and I was not prone to making food-related mistakes.

I want to put it down to hormones but if the truth be told, I really don't think it was a hormonal thing that made me think, back in 2003, that they were the best doughnuts ever.

Life can be puzzling.
