euch. PBR.

I don't drink that stuff, EVER. Even if it's the only beer at the party.
Had it once on tap. Wasn't as bad as the cans, but still pretty awful.

You need a deep fat fryer! I discovered this in high school, when we had to make donuts in Home Economics - the best ones I ever tasted, not just because I never put sugar on them.

Forget what the recipie was, but it should be easy to get a recipie from anywhere - what makes the diff. for me re: donuts is - they have to be deep fried, and be hot or warm, and not have anything added to them. The ingredients are going to be pretty standard, and you'll need to find out which ratios taste best for you. Fryers are cheap these days. And you can do tempura in them, as well as chips, if you're into it.


You crazy whore. You should put icecream on them. Good vanilla (with buttermilk) icecream.

Man, PBR isn't that bad. Might be because right now I'm on #20. Very good.

I'm glad the forums are back up. I guess I didn't need to say that.

There's a practically all-night Krispy Kreme about 3 miles down the road from my neighborhood.
Around 4am you can smell them beauties around the mall, amusement park (Sesame Place), and surrounding business complex.
I love the coffee there. It's as if they use kruellers for the filters.

Oddly, not too hard to find a passable bagel here. Huge, crusty things.

Yeah, I'll try out the doughnut experiment this weekend maybe?

You do need a deep fat fryer, I didn't say anything about not using vegetable oil. They don't taste right, like the hot donuts availible from some fayres etc, unless you use the same cooking equipment as they do.

1) you don't need a deep fat fryer. donuts don't need to fry long enough to have a hot constant temperature matter, unlike say fried chicken, etc. and eating warm donuts is for barbarians.

2) huh?

As much as I bitch about the hot dogs and pizza here in New York, I have to admit, there's no better place to get bagels. And I've had plenty of really good local varieties of dounts as well.

Yikes.

...

I had a dream last night, that Dunkin' Donuts set up a new shop near the Caltrain terminal; Agnes and I and I think maybe Shep and Agnes's sister went in, looking for evidence of the cruller catastrophe. Turns out they did have crullers -- just no chocolate or plain glazed ones. Instead, they had plain crullers that were completely encased in icky chocolate frosting.

We tried to get some doughnuts. The clerk wasn't very attentive; she asked us whether we wanted some [forgotten, probably made-up euphemism for weed], then giggled and wandered away. Then a set of twin old ladies came by and were unhelpful in their own odd way. So I decided to just help myself to the doughnuts and leave the payment on the counter.

Then I woke up. Without doughnuts.

I'll make some this weekend, if I've time around a couple of articles.

Interesting article about Pabst...

Funny thing is in the photo thread I'm drinkin a PBR and I'm about 15 blocks from Reed College which is mentioned in the article. Considering Portland has more fuckin breweries than like most places in the world, it's kinda sad us young kids keep buyin PBR.

ohh man crullers look good. Hadn't heard of them before.

The most delicious doughnuts are found on those little stalls people set up on the streets or at gypsy fairs, that are just a fryer in a little tent/caravan. The doughstuff is fried up, swabbed on a piece of paper, flipped in sugar-cinnamon mix, you can get ten of 'em for a quid. hot, lightly crisp on the outside. How do they manage to be both light AND greasy?!

here's something i can't answer: is a zeppole a donut?

Considering Portland has more fuckin breweries than like most places in the world, it's kinda sad us young kids keep buyin PBR.


well...i don't know. my dad used to drink pbr (and the beast), wear trucker hats and old heat transfer t-shirts and impossibly large belt buckles. he was so many years ahead of the curve that it's not even funny. marketing research scientists should study him.

at the same time, pbr is fucking gross. cheap or not, it's gross.

then again, i gave some of my in-law's some newcastle brown ale at a party when they asked me to pick up beer, and apparently that's a major faux pas round upstate new york. beer = miller or pbr.

so there's no accounting for taste (except that i'm right and they're wrong)

Sorry 'dude' I am - as usual in such things - entirely 100% right about what your labrat was doing.

As I also explained to it too - i am right about the donuts, because true donuts are always served warm - bakers with cold products is because in this day and age, there is not much round-the-clock baking - it's factory made food, and maybe one batch baked in the mornings then left on the shelves all day.

The barbarian reference i think is residual mind-control about The Khan, because it doesn't seem to have any connection to what i or anyone else wrote here.

By all means, eat cold donuts if ye so wish to, but be advised where all cold bakery products derive from.

anyway, you're fucking high. dude, i can walk about two blocks away to caputo's, which in addition to making possibly the finest bread in all of brooklyn, has donuts they make in two shifts. i don't eat the donuts - ironically, i don't like donuts - but my wife has in the past and they are most certainly served cooled. this has nothing to do with freshness, of course, unless you're the type who refuses to eat cookies after they've cooled, in which case shrugorama.

but none of this explains the whole two step cockney slang aside about being mates or not making fun of you in real life or whatever the fuck that was actually about. if our paths ever cross, i promise to make fun of you, and then i'll give you a hug. but i draw the line at hugs. i'm also open to arm wrestling, though that's not very fair.

I'd be willing to say that a zeppole is not a donut. Zeppole's seem to be heavier and only come with one topping. They're closer to the various french fried dough/powedered sugar confections than to anything else. Where are donuts from anyway?

(I'm a stoner from long island and I don't like my donuts all that hot.)

Indian restaurants usually serve those honey-donut things warm. And I've definitely had beignets and croissants warm, though not often. And Krispy Kremes, hot off the presses. But Krispy Kremes aren't really donuts, I guess.

At least you can eat a donut without burning your hands and getting powdered sugar all over your pants.

Anyways, beignets are superior to funnel cakes, plus you can get them anytime you like, assuming you live where I do.

Any of you New Orleans people been to Brown's Doughnuts, it's off I-10 East side of the city, on the north side of the road. Fantastic Doughnuts, open 24 hours a day.

I know this because I had their doughnuts coming back at 2 AM from a show.

Funnel Cakes are for children who yell too much and then decide that they are going to eat half of what is given to them. That half being all of the powdered parts.

Also, is it a bad thing to enjoy overbaked doughnuts/donuts? I sometimes go out around midnight to Bi-Lo and get six overbaked donuts for ONLY $1.30. I haven't had a fresh donut in a long time, actually.

Well, they're not DISGUSTING. They're just an acquired taste, is all. I'd advise never to acquire that taste, however. Japanese red bean paste inside donuts studded with granulated sugar. It's a fucking posery move of Japan; they were not content to let donuts be, so they made "Japanese" donuts, with awful, horrible results. In Japan, they sell Chinese meat buns in Mister Donut.

In Korea, Dunkin' Donuts taste and cost exactly as they do in America.

I think I've mentioned this before.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/108/64782.html

Toward the end there is some great shit on donuts.

If I'm allowed to call something I wrote "great shit."

You can have andonuts then. I'll even eat one with you, hell.

no, i do not get 'high' during the day or when i am interacting with regular reality, as with posting online.

and cold cookies do suck, in comparison to hot cookies that are fresh out of the oven.

christ, for the last time, yes. the sole referent of culture is whether or not someone eats their donuts warm or cold. it's quite simple; the ancient irish ate hot donuts, and those sodding english, who ate only cold pasteries, were able to conquer the fuck out of them several times over. tough shit for my ancestors, but culture is a cruel mistress (served cold). this pattern repeats itself for all of human history, following cycles of conquest and reconquest.

perhaps the cooling of pastries reflects an advanced civilization which has enough free time to let their food cool instead of being forced back into the field asap? we can only speculate at this point, until more evidence is unearthed.
