You all suck... I haven't eaten a donut in 5 years. I think I gained two pounds just reading this thread!
Have you tried putting them in the microwave for 10 seconds? Not sure I can tell the difference between one warm out o fhte oven and one I popped in the microwave for 10 seconds (except 10 seconds might leave it nuclear hot depending on microwave).Quote:

I'm sorry, intellectually, I understand that that's probably true, but emotionally, I think of somebody arguing that Krispy Kreme is not only good, but better than shipleys, the same way as I think of people arguing that rioting, looting, and arson is a legitimate response to police violence. Emotionally, I just can't get past how absurd their position seems on its face; I can't even give their opinions a fair hearing and instead just wonder whether we can successfully coexist in civil society.Quote:

Might as well make it a dozen. One will just piss you off.Quote:

I like Shipley donuts here in Meridian. But there are better one's in town. I'm with c34 on Krispie Cream.
I assume that all sounds perfectly reasonable to the people that think Krispy Kreme donuts are the best.Quote:

Dunkin is a religion up here, lol. They have a couple decent donuts, and their coffee is good, but they don't hold a candle to Shipley's or the like; hell, even Krispy is far superior. Donuts up here just don't have the chew, while still being soft pillows, that they do in the south.Quote:

I can at least fathom people liking Dunking Donuts. I don't like them, but they seem like a completely different product from the donuts we have in the south, or at least their "cakey" donuts do, so I can see how people that grow up on it think that's the way donuts should be and that our donuts are weird. No quarter for people that think Krispy Creme is good though.Quote:

Both are better the the crappy cake donut shops like Dunkin'.
The Best donuts are from tiny Vietnamese run shops.
Also, the worst Donuts are also from Tiny Vietnamese run shops.
All I?ve got to say is this whole thread is about who has the best hot donuts. The problem is that Starkville has absolutely zero places to buy hot donuts.
Ok, for you donut purist, I guess the following is just pure heresy!
Smokey Bones (restaurant chain) wants you to stuff your face full of meat (and also sugar and carbs). The chain restaurant has debuted its special limited-time-only offering: the ultimate meat/bacon doughnut. Their "doughnut" features a 3/8th-inch (thick) slice of Applewood smoked bacon, hand-carved and then candied in brown sugar and black pepper.
LOL ;)
I will take Honest Abes in Greenwood over all of the others. They had one in Oxford for awhile and it was just as good. The size and flavor or theirs are incredible. Wish they would branch out into other communities around the state.
