 I still like Dunkin' Donuts better. (Even though I don't drink coffee anymore.) (I know, right? Funnily enough, I feel more awake without caffeine.) I was never a big Starbucks fan. And they're everywhere! It's because I grew up with a Dunkin' Donuts by me, and it was where my dad used to take me on Sunday mornings. We'd get doughnuts and my dad, a coffee. I almost always got a glazed doughnut (regular or chocolate), and sometimes we'd get a box of Munchkins when we felt like it (apparently called doughnut holes on the West Coast?). On occasion I got one with frosting and sprinkles-- never really the jelly, not a big fan of those. It's weird, but I never realized how healthy my parents made me eat when I was younger. They never bought sugary cereals* but just healthy stuff. I did pine for Cocoa Puffs and Fruity Pebbles from time to time, but Basic 4 and Cheerios won me over in the end. Except for the doughnuts. That was a Sunday tradition. But now that I'm older, it all kind of rubbed off on me and I confess I'm a bit of health nut. I mean, I don't eat really outlandish things but you know, I snack on fruits, vegetables, crackers and cheese (you know me, I love my crackers and cheese! Wensleydale is my favorite, just like Wallace & Gromit)... give me some muesli and yogurt, and I'm good to go! I've professed my love for DuDo's blueberry doughnuts before, but I'll do it again. I love their blueberry doughnuts. They're like a hidden treasure in the doughnut world. I call it DuDo for short. Except I say it like do-dough, and not doodoo or dodo or duh-do. I like Dunkin' Donuts. * I learned this from Gilmore Girls, and I've probably ad-libbed from there but: mix 2 parts sugary cereal with 2 parts plain healthy cereal, and you get a really wonderful bowl of goodness. It's like a party in your mouth. |

I'm more a bagel fan, but I know the Gilmore Girls episode you're talking about. And Munchkins? I'm from Pennsylvania and I always called them doughnut holes.
Do you remember the Wallace and Gromit in which Wallace meets a lovely lady, but won't date her because she doesn't like cheese, not even a little bit?
@ Andrea: I guess it's just me then? I never called them doughnut holes, only Munchkins.
@ Captain-P: Yes I do! I think that was A Close Shave, and I remember thinking, "Aww, Wallace..."
The blueberry cake doughnut is the best doughnut.
