Krispy Kreme in UK

[Dr_LHA 3]

Krispy Kreme is the most overrated thing in America. I don't understand why people go so crazy for them. They're the McDonalds of donuts.

You rate them that highly, they are to donuts what Taco Bells is to Mexican food.

Well I'd rather eat a ####### sandwich than a Big Mac, so no, I don't rate them that highly!

Ahh... I'm SO glad it's not just me, then... I had one, once, to find out what all the fuss was about, and thought 'it's just a doughnut, and not even a particularly good doughnut, at that. In fact, it's a ####### doughnut.'

I think I ate about 1/3 of it, then couldn't bring myself to eat any more. And I love doughnuts...

Whenever I ask people what is so great about them I always get the same answer: You have to eat them while they are hot.

Newsflash: All donuts taste good while hot! A sign of a good donut is if they taste good when they're cold!

So true!! And mine was cold... you're right, any doughnut will taste good if it's hot and just come out of the fryer! My favourite doughnuts are the ones you get from stalls at the seaside and at fairgrounds, etc... y'know, where you get a bag of 12 for about £1.50, straight from the hot oil and covered in sugar. Yum!

Yes, it seems that hot donuts are not as common in the USA as they are in the UK, although you do get the similar Funnel Cake at fairs here.

My only explanation for the popularity of Krispy Kreme is that the stores tend to advertise when they are going to have hot fresh donuts, whereas most donut shops just cook their batch for the day in the middle of the night, and serve them cold.

In Harrods?

The confederacy has now officially invaded Britain................

Yeah they've been in Harrods for an absolute age. They even do the "free donut whilst you wait" thing too.

Only probbo is that they give ya the donut when you get to the counter

get thee to the back of the line!

Darnnit. I used to work at Gatwick airport and now I've gone they get Krispy Kreme donuts. Oh well, at least I don't have to spend a whole shift staring at it. Because I'm 99% sure I know where it's located and I know I'd be able to see it if I worked in a particular branch.

Very large Tesco branches have in-store Krispy Kremes, and so do Selfridges. I have to admit that I love those donuts so much that I actually ate 9 in one sitting. Im usually a good healthy eater with the odd chocolate bar, but once I have a krispy kreme, I have to keep on going. Its lucky I dont really put on weight. I tend to avoid them in the US otherwise they would be my staple diet.

I left the UK last year, but there is one at Paddington Station and I remember seeing one in Wimbledon.

There is a Krispy Kreme in Selfridges in the Bullring in Birmingham. I love Krispy Kremes!! They make me go all scooby-snacksy (and not in the way the Bloodhound Gang means). They're light and tasty, nothing like the donuts supermarkets and other places sell.

I fact, just writing about them makes me think I might make a special trip to Birmingham on Saturday....

The one nearest Neal is in New Malden, which seems the most random place to have one ever. There is also one in Victoria Station.
