Donut Bacon Sandwhich?

That doesn't look particular appetising, however the idea is old and others do look nice.
Just looks pale, placide and uniformed.
 
I find most of the "takeaway" donuts in the US are pretty crap, best ones to get in my opinion are Entenmann's ones from the supermarkets.
They also make some other great cakes and things :)
 
There's an American style BBQ shack near here that does burgers in a donut bun (Krispy Kreme glazed). Not tried it but their pulled pork sandwich is awesome

Why don't we have Dunkin' Donuts in UK. :( I think I've seen a few in London but they should be added to BaskinRobbins like they are in US.

Mmmm.

We already have enough junk food shops in the UK - and a huge amount of obese people and an increasing number of fat people. Can you imagine having all this **** here as well?! :eek:
 
Looks absolutely rank! All these Americanism's and people's obsession with their food culture.

There's a reason some of them are having the side of their house smashed to pieces, just so they can get out.

There's a big obsession in this forum with Americanism's. people always using the terminology.

Who in there right mind would eat a sugary doughnut with egg.

Perhaps it's just the way I'm reading it, but you make it sound like sweet in savoury food is somewhat new.
Even though half the world has used sweet in savoury food for thousands of years and that non sweet savoury food is a pretty English idea.

There's duck with an orange sauce and ham and pineapple and then there's a manky sugary processed doughnut with a fried egg slapped on.

Just the way you read it.

The English public having an obsession with American things has been around for a long time. At least since WW2.

As long as you're not the type to just stick to one type of rubbish food (which admittedly some on here are) then I really don't see the harm in embracing the idea of trying new things from another culture. I'd be just as excited to see someone post an unusual authentic dish from any different country. American food just isn't seen as "exotic" because their culture and food isn't so vastly different from our own (and a lot of it is cack, admittedly).
 
I've had a bit of an obsession with American products since discovering import sites like American Soda. There is an appeal in being able to try things that arn't normally made available to you.

I agree. But I've got no intention on spit roasting my neighbors spaniel to be like the Koreans.

I'm all for trying new cultures and cuisines... But it'd obviously have to be something that's not "cack" as frenchtart nicely put it.

Your quite right. I love food from around the world and love most cuisines, especially Asian. Again, a sugary doughnut and an egg! I just can't get my head around how anyone could find that appetising.

I'm not against American food. I'm all for a decent burger. One made with a bread bun.

Haha. Yes, I had a sneaky suspicion it was that, since it moved over to Dave.

All this talk of dry rubs, short ribs and pulled this and pulled that. It's a bit over the top. Saying that, if a decent BBQ or burger "joint" opened up close to me, I'd certainly give it a visit. Too much over priced low quality food around here. Maybe Craig would agree.

Kind of replying to this and your above post at the same time here :)

Having gone through the phases of rubbish BBQs with boring sausages and burgers for a looong time I've found the move to slow-cooking meat, using rubs, learning the values of different kinds of marinades, etc has breathed new life into the BBQ food I eat and made it all so much more enjoyable. It's not all down to american cooking - for example, tenderising meat is practiced in loads of cultures and it's certainly interesting to tinker with different methods and flavours (and of course whilst the weather is good then cooking on a BBQ is a no-brainer).

I do agree that the idea of a sugary donut with egg and meat doesn't sound the most appealing in the world but I'd be up for trying it. It's certainly nicer-sounding than some of the most horrible things I've tried (I've mentioned this before, but surstromming is absolutely vile). Conversely, sometimes things that sound like they would be disgusting are actually incredibly nice (e.g. capelin) so once again it's often worth trying things, even if they sound horrible and/or faddy.

I honestly dont know if I would like it or not. I suspect its something I'd try once and probably never have it again.

More for the laughs haha. I'd eat it for a tenner bet.

Be anywhere nice for dinner recently Craig and can recommend a decent place to eat? Not posh and not cheap either.

I'm also in NA btw.

Fair point. Who would ever think black pudding or haggis would taste nice.
