dunkin donuts

in my pregnant, craving desperation, i googled dunkin donuts in the uk, and found one here:

32 Cranbourn Street, London, WC2H 7AD

anybody ever been? looks to be between charing cross & covent garden tube stations.

I think there was a post about this a while back and If I remember correctly it's closed down.

Mmmmmm Dunkin Donuts...  Their Chocolate Glazed Cake Donuts & Vanilla (or Chocolate) Kreme Filled Donuts are the best donuts evah!  And so bad for me too!  Good thing I can't get them here!

chocolate glazed cake is the reason for this post, sister!!!

 I love Dunkin Donuts. Much better than Krispy Kreme!

And you gotta love - Dunkin Donuts & Baskin Robbins under one roof!  A match made in heaven!  Heck, that was an evening's entertainment when I lived in Tampa -- the Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins run with the gang...you've got your cup of ice cream, your box of donuts, what else do you need?!?!

Is it any wonder I weighed a ton when I lived in the US?!

Okay, I see the thread and think of Homer Simpson, "Mmmm, donuts."

I've always preferred Krispy Kreme doughnuts, although I don't think they have a branch here other than in Harrod's in London.

And the memories...  Mmmmm donuts!  In my Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins heyday, I was dating a really skinny & neurotic guy (he's still my best friend!) who had to eat his donuts a certain way.  We had just started going out & I didn't know this yet.  He loved those Vanilla Kreme Filled ones, but he would scrape the extra little dollop of vanilla kreme off & set it to the side of the plate - saving it for last.  The first time we were having donuts, I thought that meant he wasn't going to eat it -- that little dollop of vanilla kreme.  So while he was in the midst of slowly savoring his donut, I swiped his little dollop of vanilla kreme off the plate with one finger, popped it into my mouth & it was gone.  I thought he was going to kill me - there was murder in his eyes!  (But he didn't & like I said we are still best friends.)

That probably makes me HIS bad date story!  LOL!

That reminds me of Joey and the french fries episode, he never likes to share his food.  Hmm, I am making tv references here, guess I should get out more.    I haven't had a donut in such a long time, I don't know which I would prefer, although if there was such a thing as diet donuts I might opt for that, don't believe it has been thought of though, that could be my next great idea and I could be rich.

I love krispy kremes as well.  Once I made a bread pudding using them (a Paula Deen recipe).  So good, but too rich.

I bet that was a great recipe, Yael, despite the richness. (For those of you who haven't had a Krispy Kreme doughnut, they're so good that they practically melt in your mouth.)

When I go to London, I always pick some up at the Krispy Kreme at Paddington! 

Last time I was at Victoria station, I managed to walk by, and NOT get any. Mmmm, I could use one or three now though.
