In fact, however, the most dangerous thing for me isn't the funny sounding additives -- it's the DONUT!!

Easy there, Partner.
One might wonder if "inferior donut shop" is an oxymoron and whether the concept of a superior donut shop isn't a fiction of some elitist subculture. It's not like we're talking about ...
Look, I can't help anyone who hasn't had a LaMar's old fashioned sour cream donut. You can't know things you haven't experienced. You walk out of LaMar's and you'd be like:

You should at least realistically recognize the dissonance between the initial moral claim and the immediately following economic justification in terms of why farmers "are producing bio," and what allows them to continue to do that effectively. But again, you have to admire a nation which has such excellent supermarkets in train stations and produces such wonderfully tasteful health foods as rösti (which my wife absolutely adores).musicofnote wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 12:29 am These farmers are producing "bio" because of higher moral values. The profit margin is higher - especially because they don't need the chemical fertilisers and chemical pesticides.
Rösti = crispy Swiss potato pancake. Shredded potatoes formed into a thick pancake and fried in butter, oil, or ghee. Sort of like hash browns formed into a pancake, or latkes without eggs or flour. I'm not sure that I would categorize this is a "health food!"
???? why must there be a dissonance? Growing food in a way that looks after the health of the land as an entire eco-system, meaning no mono-cultures, no heavy chemicals is not incompatible with making a profitable living. Raising livestock outdoors, free-grazing, no hormones added to the food which iss morally responsible to the animals, giving them as decent a social life as possible before slaughter is certainly more morally acceptable than industrial meat production where animals are chained in pens, never see the light of day and have not social interaction. And they are able to do so at a profit. We buy 3-4 times a year freshly slaughtered beef from one particular where you drive by the rest of the herd in the pasture as you arrive at the farm. They have about 30 animals and only slaughter 3-4 a year. The rest they use for keeping the herd in the desired number, milk, cheese etc. They only slaughter full grown animals, no calves. But they also grow grains, fruits etc. And as real farmers, they sometimes are victims of things like bad weather. Last year due to a weird spring, the cherry crop was not good. Neither were the apples and pears, but the peaches, plums and apricots were fine as was the grain. All done without chemical pesticides - which I don't see as any "dissonance" when getting money for their products of their labor.ghmerrill wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 6:37 amYou should at least realistically recognize the dissonance between the initial moral claim and the immediately following economic justification in terms of why farmers "are producing bio," and what allows them to continue to do that effectively.musicofnote wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 12:29 am These farmers are producing "bio" because of higher moral values.

No Rösti isn't healthy. But the cheese and Bratwurst certainly is. At least it's in keeping with my minimal Carbs regime I have to be on. Not healthy, but .... Leberli & Rösti, as I wrote elsewhere - a couple times a year with proper preparation.Posaunus wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 11:48 amRösti = crispy Swiss potato pancake.

I just returned from Basel where we enjoyed a Rösti dinner at Restauration zur Harmonie. Mine came with a wonderful Kalbsbratwurst (veal sausage) and onion; my wife's Rösti was coated with melted raclette cheese. The meal was delicious, but ... healthy?

Donuts that look great! But are overly sweet and, in the end, disappointing.
They age relatively well, but (like IPA) that may have been a significant part of the design spec.
Now that you mention it, the icing on them does look a lot like Yamaha Slide Lubricant.
This is the best thread ever.
I was trying to point out that even though KK is an inferior donut to many, Dunkin is not one of them. They are both terrible. It's also strange to make a donut analogy and not compare us to Dunkin Donuts. We are literally down the road from their headquarters.harrisonreed wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 11:32 amI didn't say anything about Dunkin'. Krispy Kreme is full of chemicals and preservatives -- their donuts are gross. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' shouldn't even register on the scale.
If comparing trombone shops to donut shops, I'd say Edwards at least is on par with LaMar's. The 396-A is like their old fashioned sour cream donut. The jury is out for me on Shires. Certainly not a Krispy Kreme equivalent, though -- that joint doesn't even know how to spell words, let alone make donuts.
I think you can probably comfort yourself in this regard with the thought that use of Yamasnot (even in production quantities) would likely make the Krispy Kreme prohibitively expensive. There's barely enough in one bottle for a single donut -- not that I've actually tried that.

Yum. Stale, overly-sugared, chemically-contaminated donuts in a box.
