    Default Why no donuts ?

    How come when you go to a BBQ or whatever they never have donuts ?

    They have cake, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, canoli -- are donuts so different ?

    & theyre great cause you can get a couple dozen donuts & have a nice variety like jelly, boston cream, cinnamon, glazed, apple etc.

    They arent just a breakfast thing either ive been in dunkin donuts at night & people are still eating donuts so thats not it.

    I dont get it ?

    I don't understand why they routinely serve slices of white bread. The only thing that stuff is evenly remotely useful for is holding a sandwich together, and there are better options for that.

    Who wants a doughnut when there is brisket available?

    All the BBQs I've been to the people do home made desserts. I don't know anyone with a fryer (even though I'm in the mid-west, go figure). Good donuts are fried. Plus, they are time consuming. You have to watch them while frying or they burn and taste like shit. Cakes and brownies you can mix, toss in the oven, and ignore it for 30 minutes.

    The last BBQ I went to actually did have donuts.

    I can answer this since I work in foodservice.

    Donuts are quick to stale if left out. Even with protection from air they harden up by the end of the day. & I guess they are viewed as "breakfast items" but other sweets compliment the flavors of BBQ better.

    ^^^^^Yep! You sit some delicious Krispy Kremes out there and they will become sticky and runny/gummy on the outside. You don't want to refrigerate for long or the harden. I prefer ice cream or gelato at a BBQ. Maybe some pie with some ice cream on top or pineapple slices, mango etc work off that savory salty BBQ.

    You can totally microwave Krispy Kremes and they'll be good as new.

    @ one White Castle burger place, they had glazed (Dunkin') donuts in the am. I believe you'd be hard pressed to find donuts anywhere that serves lunch/dinner only in my area.
    Chik o Fill's popular, seems like a weird combo to me though.

    I never thought of that. Maybe donuts are ingrained in a lot of people as a breakfast thing, so they don't think to bring any.

    Also like what SnuffleUffleGrass said donuts do get stale, but I wouldn't have thought of that.

    I'm eating a donut right now actually. I went to my local donut shop and the cashier told me not to get a particular one since I might break a tooth on it lol

    I just got a classic one and sour cream one, ones a little less sweet with my coffee.

    I almost got the apple cinnamon though!

    For real, if donuts are ingrained in you as a breakfast thing then I hope lots of exercise and conscious food choices are ingrained th rest of the time! Funny thread though.

    OP I salute you.

    We get in a habit of eating certain things together or at certain times, we forget we don't have to eat that way. I quit toast, and realized jam and jelly are fine on other things.

    White bread is also good for soaking up delicious meat juices and eating them.

    True, but rye or pumpernickel works just as well.
