Donuts, just a Dublin thing?

I like doughnuts, I've even made my own on occasion which turned out delicious.......but they are a cheap ass sugar / grease hit - 5 for a quid in a paper bag from Tesco, or maybe 2 quid from a van on the side of the road.

Anyone who hands over €50 quid for a dozen box is an absolute cockwomble!

I think that's the primary reason for the amount of places selling them, the markup must be out of this world.

That's slightly unfair.
You are not including the whole experience of standing in a queue like a pleb for a few hours.

People making their own coffee, that'll be the next thing.

There were fcukloads in Cork, some seem to be closing now.

Frozen yoghurt places springing up to replace them.

People are weird.

Gin and tonic, 'craft' beer, burger restaurants, doughnut outlets... wonder what the next food fad will be?

Whiskey distillerys seem to be popping up all over the place recently. Asian "street food" is another fad that's still on the go. Expensive "protein balls" and other protein infused confectionery seem to be the "in" thing at the moment also.

A big massive one would be even better I'd imagine.

Not before passing it through their weasel/ferret/dog/cat/budgie I hope. Now that's Flavourtown!

People are Americanised and will eat whatever was the popular thing over there a few years before. Prepare for the inevitable shortening to "fro-yo".

Back in my day prosecco and burritos were the fashionable drink and food. 2 or 3 years later and it suddenly was gin and burgers.... And what i was with wasn't it, and what was it seemed weird and scary to me.

It went from pulled pork to burritos to donuts to gelato. I'm investing heavily in gourmet chicken wing futures and I'm going to hedge my bets on churos and chocolate sauce making the move from Spain.
