Mmm..donuts
My favorite has always been the sugar raised doughnut from Dunkin Donuts. I love how the sugar crystals crunch when you bite into it. Runners up are the lemon-filled and blueberry cake. I'm not really a fan of frosting or sprinkles.
I used to work at Dunkin Donuts, and we were allowed to have as many doughnuts as we wanted for free during our shifts, which was fun for about a week. But I think it says something good about the quality that I still enjoy the doughnuts after working there.
Vintage Candy Monday: Necco Wafers
Man, what's the connection between Neccos and church? My mom and I used to eat them in church all the time when I was a kid. As far as I can remember, that's really the only time I remember eating them. Weird.

Perfect Temperature for Condiments?
Room temperature all the way. I hate cold ketchup.

Perfect Temperature for Condiments?
I actually strongly prefer cold condiments in most cases, even on piping-hot food. Can't explain why; maybe the contrast of temperatures is appealing?
Perfect Temperature for Condiments?
I can't stand about cold condiments. I hate cold ketchup and I really don't like when salsa is really cold. Keep 'em cool, not cold. I mean, what's weirder than biting into a nice juicy warm burger with ice cold ketchup. blech
I don't like really cold fruit either... (I know, weirdo)

It smells worse too!
Perfect Temperature for Condiments?
when i was really young and started "cooking" (ie, heating some fries or something up in the toaster oven), I would put the ketchup bottle on top of the oven so that it would warm up to room temp... .i couldn't stand eating it just out of the fridge!

I've never had a Krispy Kreme. At home growing up, Entemanns were the only donuts permitted so once in college, I developed an addiction for Dunkin Bavarian Creme and Chocolate Cake donuts.
But nothing beats Italian bakeries versions of cream filled or jam filled pastries.
Donuts--fat, sugar, something for sweet and savory toothed individuals both...
Mmm..donuts
Dang scratch that. It's Donut Plant NYC and it's in Myeondong. Heeee! Still delicious!!
Mmm..donuts
I like any fresh donuts. Hey machellebelle, you know there's the NYC Donut Company in Hongdae right?! YUM.
Mmm..donuts
In Seattle, you've got to go to Top Pot. A small, local chain. The downtown location is the best because they are the freshest. Of course I'm still a southern boy with Krispy Kreme loyalties too.
Mmm..donuts
I love apple cider doughnuts from apple orchards! Yum! Other than that, I like the French Crullers from Dunkin'.

plain cake, blueberry cake and boston creme are my 3 favs. mmm doughnuts...
Mmm..donuts
Dunkin Donuts maple frosted donuts, preferably w/out sprinkles.
Mmm..donuts
Are any DD's making crullers anymore? Ooh, the marble ones were so good back in the day, crunchy in some bites, soft in others.
Now I live in Tim Horton's territory and like a sour cream glazed. But they have nothing resembling DD iced coffee, which I dearly love, so they will never win my heart.

Oh yeah, SqueezeBottle reminded me of something that I intensely crave, but cannot get in Cleveland, which is why I didn't think of this when I initially posted. :P
I LOVE me some freshly deep fried burn your fingers malasadas rolled in sugar from the truck. They make them now with Boston cream and other fillings, but I don't care for them as much.
I also LOVE and miss andagi (I'm Okinawan, so it's to be expected) -- no Boston cream filling, not rolled in sugar, just plain just out of the deep fryer andagi.
Sigh...
I need to make a trip back home!

I grew up in Massachusetts, and of course there is a Dunkin's on every corner (or "kawnah" as we'd say it in Boston)...my fave would be a plain cruller or a Boston Creme, with a large iced coffee, extra light.
Now that I'm down in Atlanta, there are fewer Dunkin's around, and more KK. Not a fan of the KK, I have to say...too sweet and sticky (that's what she said). And sadly, DD's don't make crullers down here...but I'll still reach for a Boston Creme and think of my hometown and smile.

Pączki! Pączki! Pączki!
There's no doughnut in the world better than a prune filled pączek. There's a small chain of Polish bakeries in Montreal that makes some really great ones. One location is unfortunately situated about 30 meters from where I work.
Mmm..donuts
normally i'm not much of a donut person, but when i go to the union square greenmarket, i can't resist the whole wheat apple cider donuts. damn they're tasty.
Mmm..donuts
peter pan's, in greenpoint - when i go in there, i just have to stand and stare for a minute and adjust myself to the fact that it's all within reach. their donuts are seriously yummy, no favorites but i usually despise jelly-filled (with a close second by boston creme)
Mmm..donuts
I'm gonna get jumped for this, but I love Krispy Kreme hot fresh glazed donuts much the way I like cotton candy.
My favorite pastry breakfast isn't a donut, but a chocolate eclair.
Other than that, apple fritters are the way to go!
Mmm..donuts
You are asking a difficult question for me. I would say........I can't answer this question, I like ALL donuts or apple fritters as well. I still have yet to try the Paula Deen's donut burger.
Mmm..donuts
I used to get an almond croissant that was to die for. Light and flaky, filled with almond paste and topped with sliced almonds. It wasn't too sugary, which is my chief complaint with doughnuts. But hey, I'm more of a savory rather than sweet kind of girl.
Mmm..donuts
Chocolate glazed! Occasionally chocolate frosted, but usually just the plain chocolate glazed. And a large caramel iced coffee -- all from Dunkin' Donuts, of course.
@huneybumper -- no worries! I'm with you on that; I'll take DD over KK any day!
Mmm..donuts
Plain glazed doughnuts are always good to me. The others are good too except for any kind of filled doughnut because I feel like the filling overpowers the goodness of the doughnut itself.
