Enoon Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme are mass produced, ridiculously expensive, pap. Real doughnuts, made by you local real baker are delicious. However when I ate these, in Dam Square during the December Fair, I was transported to another dimension: Oliebol - Wikipedia Edited September 12, 2018 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Have a donut, it'll make you feel less depressed about your diabetes diagnosis. Good grief ... should have a health warning like cigarettes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had those in and they are no different than a fresh tasty dount made by Krispy Kreme or a nice Fair fried dough. Actually, try the Bear Claw donuts at Golden Donuts on Tudor Road in Anchorage if you want a nice donut. They are all variations of the same. Hey But your favs have a Euro name so clearly they are better.? Bet they clog the arteries the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to drive 2 hours to visit Pizza Hut in Heraklion on the island of Crete, Greece. Table cloths, silverware, table service and bottles of wine. Very civilized and wonderful really, but a very long way from the old red roof pizza joints in the USA I remembered growing up. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkin Donuts has its roots, and remains, a working-class, blue-collar, New England (founded in Quincy, MA, a Boston suburb, in 1948) staple. The coffee was never meant to be artisanal. I love it. I even bring back a few pounds every trip. There are more and more drive-throughs here, there is at least one Burger King drive-though on Bang-Na Trat, and a newer drive-thru Starbucks on the same road. I did the Starbucks drive-thru a few weeks ago, quite handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didn't know, DD is more known for its coffee and drinks menu rather than donuts and junk food. It is trying to directly compete with Starbucks.

islandguy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Arabian coffee? From Wikipedia: Arabic coffee (Arabic: قهوة عربية, translit. qahwah arabiyya, Arabic pronunciation: [ˈqah.wa ʕaraˈbijːah] ( listen)) refers to a version of the brewed coffee of Coffea arabica beans. Arabic coffee is typically grown at a height of 1000 to 2000 meters, and represents about 60-70% of the coffee industry in the world[1][2]. Most Arab countries throughout the Middle East have developed unique methods for brewing and preparing coffee. Cardamom is an often-added spice,[3] but it can alternatively be served plain (Arabic: قهوة سادة, translit. qahwah sādah, lit. 'plain coffee'). Arabic coffee A dallah is a traditional Arabic coffee pot with cups and coffee beans Alternative names Qahwah arabiyya Type Coffea arabica Course Drink Place of origin Yemen Region or state Middle East Associated national cuisine Middle Eastern cuisine Invented 15th century Serving temperature Hot Cookbook: Arabic coffee Media: Arabic coffee There are mainly two types of Arabic coffee; one with a golden colour made mainly in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region, and the other is black. There are several different styles to brewing the coffee depending on the preference of the drinker. Some methods keep the coffee light, which usually contains cardamom, whereas others can make it dark. Arabic coffee is bitter, and typically no sugar is added. It is usually served in a small cup that is adorned with a decorative pattern, known as a finjān. Culturally, Arabic coffee is served during family gatherings or when receiving guests. Arabic coffee is ingrained within Middle Eastern and Arab culture and tradition, and is the most popular form of coffee brewed in the Middle East. It originated in the Middle East, beginning in Yemen and eventually travelling to Mecca (Hejaz), Egypt, the Levant, and then, in the mid-16th century, to Turkey.[4] Arabic coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritageof Arab states confirmed by UNESCO.[5] Arabica perhaps?
