Shout out for the Nine One One Donut place under the UCD library back in the day.

It takes 45 minutes just to get inside this place in Portland, Oregon at busy times.

A packet of custard donuts from Tesco for €1 is all I need in my life.

People paying €24 for 12, because marketing told them to :pac:

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

You shudda put it on the Bargain Alerts thread. Plenty over there who would stand out in Hurricane Ophelia for a free donut.

Well in Ireland wiress broadband became common in 2008. In 2006 and 2007 many had broadband through a wire to their desktop but 2008 was when wireless broadband became common. The internet was not used for hours a day like it is now before wireless broadband. In the days of dial-up download speeds were slow for most people and most people were worried about running up big bills so they limited internet usage. Broadband came to Ireland in 2003 but had low take-up until prices dropped. In 2000, 2001 internet usage per person per day was still very low from what I recall.

Ahhh where do I start with this !! :rolleyes:

Hahahahahhahahahaha

Yeh. When can we get a proper American diner

Saw Simon Delaney on TV3 on Monday morning (I’d been watching the weather updates) and he was asking the same. Apparently his book is filled with diner meals.

OP if you don't like it then donut go in there.....sorry

My mam and brother like offbeat doughnuts in dundrum. Jesus the queue is insane when I go. I like their maple pecan one, tried a Boston creme too but the chocolate on top was sickeningly rich.

They'd be useless here because where would you get the big long wobbly colourful 1950's American car with 5.7L engine and 3-speed automatic gearbox that you'd need to visit one?

MarkY91 · 19-10-2017 10:18AM

My foreign girlfriend said she noticed all the donut shops and said we are becoming Americanized. I then told her that we're becoming the fattest country in Europe. She wasn't surprised.

If you can piece together a more succinct synopsis of irelands internet history during the 2000s I'd like to hear it!

sbsquarepants · 19-10-2017 10:28AM

I like an auld donut - but jaysus the price of them. It would be cheaper to get a crack habit:mad:

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

Have they? The Rolling Donut stand is as cheap and tasty as ever. Only donuts I like, to be honest. Simple and tasty. "Gourmet" donuts never taste as good as they look. I'm not the biggest donut fan in general.

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

It's literally exactly the same now as when it opened, quality-wise. It's not a hard thing to monitor either, being pretty simple fare.

Burritos peaked about 5 years ago with Boojum, Little Ass, Pablo etc.. following on but ince then its been all burger places opening ...Counter, Bunsen, Box, Wow, Jo, Five Guys etc..

Jo'Burger has been opened in its first location for at least ten years.

I had some ceviche not so long ago. My god it was amazing. Home made too.

OffBeat do a Black Forest doughnut.

It is delicious and I can feel the diabetes triggering as I'm eating.

A Little Pony · 19-10-2017 01:35PM

Probably the greatest invention ever made.

I'd probably agree with this.
Can also be eaten at any time of the day. Like you'd never say that you'd have a croissant for dessert, but you'd easily say that you'd have a donut for breakfast.

Versatile food.

Thought there was already a small chain of faux-1950's American diners?

Do we really need more shyte food options?

illdoit2morrow · 19-10-2017 03:56PM

I was in America recently, they have a thing called a pizza, absolutely delicious.

It consists of dough, topped with tomato sauce, cheese and other random toppings.

It'll be the next big thing here I suspect.
