In the past few years, I've eaten maybe one or two donuts – Krispy Kremes, but only to discover if they lived up to their hype (and they don't, not by a longshot). Partially hydrogenated oils have kept me from engaging in pastry fun. Trans fats are impossible to avoid, but I do what I can to minimize my risk and exposure to one of man's worst inventions ever. Not the donut – partially hydrogenated oils.
Jake told me about Mighty O Donuts the other day, a shoppe across town that has… “Lots O' Chocolate, Lemon Poppy, French Toast, Chocolate Raspberry, Cuckoo for Coconut, Blueberry, and Good old Glazed.” On the semi-nutty donut Web site, they claim to have no trans fats in their products (100% organic, vegan). Sounds good to me, especially if they taste just as nice as “regular” donuts.
I think I'll try a glazed first…
