This Month's Haul - January, 2014

[Jeremy]

Once a year or so I go into a Krispy Kreme and get one glazed, one chocolate covered cream fil led, and one lemon filled, and some milk. So good.

DIABEETUS

We discuss DIABEETUS guy a lot on this week's Hardcore Gamer show. Like, way too much. Definitely a by-product of recording the show at 2 AM.

Maybe Krispy Kreme is "objectively" better than DD but I grew up surrounded by DD and didn't have Krispy Kreme until I was like, 22, so I have a pretty clear preference. Can't beat a basic donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles IMO.

[Chux]

If I get anything from a donut place I always go simple like Diff, just no sprinkles. My wife gets all manner of wild shit. Get out of my damn face with that garbage.

[FirstBlood]

You beat it by pumping it full of boston cream.

[Diff-chan]

I don't like boston cream.

You beat it by pumping it full of boston cream.

Stop talking about what I did to your mother.

Also, cream/jelly filled donuts are FUCKING GROSS.

[FirstBlood]

Jelly is the worst. Cream is supreme.

But seriously, a normal-ass Dunkin Donut with chocolate & sprinkles is enjoyable but can't beat it? Get outta my face. Donut enjoyment is at its peak right after coming out of the fryer. From there it's a steep, immediate decline over time until you hit "it's a day later and I'm hungover I guess I'll eat this" status.

[Diff-chan]

Yep, it's my favorite. I am not a donut connoisseur and I am not well-versed in methods or optimal taste curves so when I want a simple donut (which is, basically, never), I know what I like.

My friend once took me to this hipster artisan donut place in New York and it was horrible.

People proud of making inferior donut choices because of nostalgia and they're accustomed to it....

Come.on guys. You're.depriving.yourself from delicious sugar covered hug clouds.

My friend once took me to this hipster artisan donut place in New York and it was horrible.

Yeah we have those too but they're all cake donuts which are good in their own way but not my favorite.

But you don't have to be some connoisseur to know that fried food is best right out of the fryer. That's just a goddamn fact of life.
