Morrison's donuts are the best of the supermarket bunch. Custard plz.

My first Krispy Kreme experience was on a bombing run to Luton and back overnight. Setting off at 2330 and due back for 0700 with a half hour stop in Luton centre. We stopped for a big box of KK donuts at Wetherby services, that and the Radio 4 kept us going.

What's wrong with fresh doughnuts from KK in the UK?

Had a fresh one straight out the fryer from the branch at Bluewater, like eating hot sweet butter!
To counter this, I've always found them much too fatty/sickly to enjoy. They taste more of the oil they are fried in than of the contents, and trust me when I say I've 'tried' a few.

At college, I worked part time in a bakery. One of the jobs was filling the doughnuts and we would always massively over-fill one from each batch. It was our version of Russian roulette.

Agreed, Sainsburys doughnuts are beautiful.

Tesco's are rank, like eating spongy cardboard with overly sweet jam

At the tender age of 16 I worked at sainsburys in their bakery dept, my job was actually to add jam to doughnuts (we're talking 1986 here), it was done with a machine which dispensed (injected) a pre determined squirt of jam to whole tray before they went into the ovens. I lost coun the times I added 3, 4 or 5 squirts so the customer on the recieving end had a doughnut that was 70% jam. Probably not a good idea if they'd been in the microwave beforehand.

We also added the "apple" sauce to "apple" donuts and pastries. It wasn't, it came in a large plastic bucket which was actually a sugar solution with apple flavouring and chunks of apple suspended in it. My mate Vernon once ate a plastic cup full and was hyper for ages.

I quite like Sainsbury's doughnuts; a pack of 5 is often 25 pence when I do my shop in the evening too.

I'm now wondering what else you and Vernon used to add to the donuts vomit

Not so many regulations in the US, meaning that are full of even more crap and even more tasty!

Not saying theres anything wrong with the UK ones, by far and away the best donuts in the UK, just not as good as their proper American cousins.

fking love Krispy Kreme.
