I am surprised that these never get a mention on MN. I had my first one yesterday and am still buzzing.

I've never had one. Are they nice?

They are so sweet they practically give you neuralgia. Not really nice. Strange.

doughnuts of any brand are good... I have done the KK thing at Selfridges. They rock.

for me, it has to be a dense, chewy raspberry jam donut.

I think I want one.

Yes, a normal sugary jam doughnut is nicer than the KK donut. Even the spelling is better.

market researchers for Waitrose and Selfridges and Tescos will, in 3 months, wonder what it was about the hot weather that forced a run on doughnuts at 2pm on Sunday 11th may...

no but you're missing the point. Which is to take a box of 6/10/20 (god no...) home, and stuff your face with a variety of chemical additives all weekend and then feel very bad and fat on monday morning, kind of like you used to before you had children, but then it was a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.

With the KKs it also takes you until Wednesday to stop feeling hungover.

ooo no, you eat around the jam knowing that i is there waiting. to ooze into your mouth.

can you tell i haven't had a donut for about 3 years?

what means skoosh

Aitch, surely you have at your age learnt the jam-doughnut eating no jam solution? (AKA finding the little hole and starting there first)?
Contact the poster Contact mumsnet about this post By nkf on Sun 11-May-08 13:24:18
Are they chemically enhanced? Apparently when KK opens in a new American neighbourhood, there are queues round the block.
Contact the poster Contact mumsnet about this post By AitchTwoCiao on Sun 11-May-08 13:24:58
but if you find the hole first you get a mouthful of jam, blergh. skoosh, as in the jam will skoosh out.

Skoosh? Is that a word of your own invention? smile

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
