Lads, I like donuts and all but what has happened to Dublin City?
there's donut shops everywhere!

I pass 5 on my way to work, they're popping up like poxy Starbucks!

branie2 · 18-10-2017 2:23pm

a lot of people have to make dough!

moonlighting · 18-10-2017 2:26pm

we want to be fat like the americans. when do we get the electric carts while we shop so we don't have to walk.

What’s happening is Ireland is largely obsessed with and influenced by America (and we are not necessarily taking the best parts of it).

yeah burgers are a pretty recent charade, they'll surely die off soon.

Boom_Bap · 18-10-2017 2:28pm

I f*cking love doughnuts.

w/s/p/c/ · 18-10-2017 2:30pm

Donuts are the new pulled pork sandwiches, the fad will fade away!!

theteal · 18-10-2017 2:30pm

Are we talking big franchise branded doughnuts or little independent places? Is that one still on O'Connell St?

Not been home for almost a year so I genuinely don't know.

RWCNT · 18-10-2017 2:30pm

Well, the mark up on them is unbelievable due to the limited ingredients.

I love donuts too but I'm not going to pay that much for one.

A lot of people enjoy being told what to like. Right now, they're being told to like donuts.

So yeah, donuts.

It's still there, but its part of the Rolling Donut Franchise. Prices have increased of course

That's the crazy thing. All these krispy kreme "flavours" just so they can charge £2 a piece. Head off. The 29p jam doughnut in LIDL does the job nicely - very much like the old Superquinn ones I remember as a kid and better than any of the other supermarkets.

MilesMorales1 · 18-10-2017 2:35pm

Most of those doughnuts taste rubbish too.

Doctor Nick · 18-10-2017 2:35pm

I was thinking exact same thing only yesterday. Although I did sample a donut from one of the shops with gooey marshmallow filling. Was tasty.

branie2 · 18-10-2017 2:38pm

I like the odd donut in Dunnes

theteal · 18-10-2017 2:40pm

I'm calling it. Ceviche will be the next trend!

SEPT 23 1989 · 18-10-2017 2:40pm

the chocolate topped custard filled ones in Dunkin Donuts were my favorite

maximoose · 18-10-2017 2:42pm

Offbeat, Rolling Donut, Mr Donut, Boston Donuts, Krust, Donuters. They are everywhere.

147 Deli's are the best.

beertons · 18-10-2017 2:44pm

If you spot a Krispy Kremes, let me know. Heavenly.

valoren · 18-10-2017 2:46pm

There's about 5 of them with 500 metres of each other in cork city centre.

branie2 · 18-10-2017 2:46pm

I have a craving for a doughnut right now!

The One Doctor · 18-10-2017 2:47pm

The majority of donuts are crap. Supervalu's own jam donuts are good though. We bought a box of donuts alrea from some place on Nassau Street.

€20 for 6 donuts! They were shite too.

And custard donuts make me think there's pus oozing from them.

Boojum went rapidly downhill a few years ago. Doesn't stop people lapping it up.

Gerard: Newman, what are you doing?
Newman: I'm thinking.
Gerard: Well, think me up a cup of coffee and a chocolate doughnut with some of those little sprinkles on top, while you're thinking.

mariaalice · 18-10-2017 2:58pm

What happens is passing one of the shop for the first time: think they look interesting one has got a ferrero rocher inside and maybe that rhubarb and bacon one would be interesting, buy a few and realise that are actuley a bit sickening and you never buy another one.

Dravokivich · 18-10-2017 3:00pm

6 Years ago there were milkshake shops all over the place. Didn't last too long, for the same reason these won't. People will get tired of'em and won't pay over the odds for some soft sugary bread.

freshpopcorn · 18-10-2017 3:05pm

A few of the one's that opened in Cork are beginning to close!

DesperateDan · 18-10-2017 3:05pm

What we need to do is predict the next trend. That's where the money is. How about....Cornish pasties. Pasties as far as the eye can see.

I'm told I do a nice pastilla (that's pigeon pie to you). Although I be having to use chicken instead of pigeon meat, as I can never source some good-quality pigeon meat when I need to...

A good pastilla is a heavenly dish!!

I can get you pigeon.

We can use the leftover pigeon bits for the next next craze, pigeonnuts

Deal!

Get in touch when you are setting up the kitchen, so. (Hopefully you do have some experience with managing restaurants, yes?)

No kitchen needed, street sourced meat cooked and served on the street.

Aungier Danger too.....the queues outside their newly opened shop for a free donut was sad. I do love donuts but not for 3euro.

wakka12 · 18-10-2017 4:02pm

I much prefer the old jam donut with sugar on top to all the ones with crazy toppings

Before donuts, there was cupcakes! that fad seems to be almost gone thank God. Hated those cupcakes with the syntethic icing, what was wring with an aul fairy cake.

Are Am Eye · 19-10-2017 1:43am

If you're ever of a mind to watch a movie about donuts then one of the better ones is The Doughnuts
