While I was in London, Damo generously funded me a 90 pence Krispy Kreme original glazed donut. So much had been leading up to this, my first Krispy Kreme donut.

We stood in front of a Krispy Kreme stall at Victoria Station. From the three people in the queue before us:

“Can I have the large box of donuts, that one…”
“Two chocolate ice glazed, three strawberry filled, one lemon filled…”
“I’d like a dozen donuts…” (Store assistant: “For an extra two pounds, you can have six extra donuts…?”)

Then I stepped forward:

“One original donut, please.”

So how was it? It was tasty — soft and not overwhelmingly sweet. Damo had a bite and said that it was the yumminess of a fresh donut, nothing unique to Krispy Kreme. And besides, it was too soft.

Does it beat mille feuille? Hell, no.
