Subject: RE: BS: Best Doughnuts From: Neil D Date: 14 Jul 24 - 08:10 AM olddude had it right 14 years ago when he posted: tim hortons , tim hortons, tim hortons, tim hortons ! Back then you had to go to Canada to get them, but there are now a few franchises scattered around the US. The closest one to where I live is 50 miles away but any time we weekend in Pittsburgh we stop on the way home and grab a couple boxes of assorted Timbits. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Doughnuts From: Charmion Date: 14 Jul 24 - 11:23 AM Tim Horton’s old-fashioned plain is — IMNSOHO — the world’s best widely available commercial doughnut. Flavoured with nutmeg, it has a slightly crisp crust and is not sickeningly sweet. But the very best doughnuts I have ever eaten were made at an Ottawa diner (the Mirror Grill) and sold for a dime. A plate of them sat on the counter under a big glass dome. Also flavoured with nutmeg, those doughnuts were yeast-raised and deep-fried. The Mirror Grill disappeared in the early 1970s, about the time I joined the Forces — I came back from Cornwallis for Christmas, and there it was: gone. And its wonderful doughnuts with it. *Sob* |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Doughnuts From: Charmion's brother Andrew Date: 14 Jul 24 - 06:01 PM Charmion, do you not recall the excellent lightly-glazed doughnuts of Glebe's cafeteria? They were also a dime. I could not resist them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Doughnuts From: Charmion Date: 14 Jul 24 - 07:55 PM Oh, yes; Glebe did a good doughnut, but they didn’t have nutmeg in them. Silver medal. |
