Krispy Kreme donuts

Post by Ed » 07 Sep 2006, 10:54

I am trying to source some KK donuts here in Scotland. Anyone have any ideas or is a courier from England my best idea so far?

I didn't realise that couriers from England were your idea. Well done.

Or find someone who is travelling up (with space for a box of donuts)! :)

Another phenomenon we have no chance of tasting in Porty is Beard Papa - freshly baked choux buns filled with custard at the point of ordering, in front of you, you get to watch the custard going in to your bun

I think they might even be hot - but you get the idea. I'm not seeking to detract from the joy of Krispy Kreme - by any measure.

edit -> just imagine. 6 or 12 in a box. Oh mother.

Those choux buns sound absolute delish. Have you tried Marks and Sparks choux buns ? They are really nice with a creamy custard filling, yum.

I earlier made a batch of scones. :) A cup of warm Darjeeling tea with a scrumptious lemon-poppy seed scone suites me fine on this windy, late afternoon September day as I listen to the trees outside my window whisper secrets to each other. The hummingbirds have decided to also amuse me by playing tag as they dart in and out of the wisteria. Wish you could all be here to enjoy the beauty unfolding within my backyard.

BM, I found the secret of weight loss last week when I was away on a nine day residential course in Bonny Dundee :evil: . The secret I discovered was....don't eat. I lost half a stone in those nine days. Probably not such a good long term plan.

I think it is difficult if you're not staying in the delightful place where we have our residentials, with the wonderful cooking... :pukeright: But somehow I managed. :wink: i figure it's a good business idea - I'm going to start running week long courses there myself, charge a fortune, and market it as a weight loss strategy.
