Summer season! It is that very particular time of the 12 months when our local weather most carefully resembles that of Hell. In Boston, [at the time of this writing] temps have been persistently within the mid-90s with 50-75% humidity. Some folks do not thoughts it, personally, I am unable to stand it. I’ve lived in New England my entire life so I am going to take Hoth over Tatooine any day. The fixed swelter makes me uncomfortable, irritable, and continually drained. (Individuals from different components of the US are in all probability considering “Hey, that is how New Englanders at all times are!”)
All people’s all sweaty, the seaside is overcrowded, and any time-off from work approaches just like the occasion horizon of a black gap. And frustratingly, at instances, the warmth may even make a few of my favourite meals like burgers and pizza appear heavy or repulsive. That is a legit downside for a man who writes for a weblog that is principally about junk meals.
Effectively thank heavens the delight and pleasure of Massachusetts, Dunkin’ Donuts, has a reasonably good concept of what I am going by means of. They’ve freshened up their menu with some summer season snacks for folks like me, in order that we do not have to skip breakfast with our morning iced espresso.
Here is what they got here up with!
KEY LIME SQUARE DONUT
A sq. plain donut with a lime jelly-like filling and topped with icing and graham cracker crumbles- sounds fairly good to me!
It is tremendous candy with gentle tartness from the filling, which is a ringer for what you’d count on in a key lime pie. The crumble tastes like espresso cake, including notes of cinnamon into the combination.
Not dangerous in any respect! Definitely a preferable different to, say, a Boston Creme on a sizzling day. It is in all probability simply me, however the important thing lime filling gave me an actual hankering for a margarita or six.
LEMON CROISSANT DONUT
I used to be enthusiastic about attempting this one as a result of I am an enormous fan of Dunks’ Glazed Croissant Donut. If you have not had one earlier than, it is principally the textural variations that make it completely different from the common glazed, nevertheless it delivers. Considered one of my bucket record gadgets is to take two and use them as cheeseburger buns. Yeah, I ought to in all probability maintain that one in direction of the underside of the record.
Huh. The graham cracker crumble is crashing this social gathering, too. Graham cracker crumble, aren’t you having your individual social gathering subsequent door? What are you doing right here?
this appears like a college image
A number of bites depart this query unanswered. These cinnamon notes are form of simply hanging round, getting in the best way of the wonderful style of the croissant donut and dulling the lemon taste. On prime of that, it makes the 2 flavors too related. A disgrace.
LEMON POPPYSEED MUFFIN
Wow, I am unable to even bear in mind the final time I had a muffin. On their very own, they’re simply crumbly lumps of bread with sugar and little items of fruit added- just like the Nice Despair equal of a cupcake. Really, probably the most bland and simply handed over providing in all of breakfastdom.
The Lemon Poppyseed Muffin does not rock the boat, nevertheless it’s actually not dangerous both. Delicate, even crumb, and well-balanced flavors. It fulfills it function as a lightweight summer season breakfast possibility, and that is just about all I can say about it.
MAPLE SAUSAGE BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Wait, whaaat? Since when is maple a summer season taste? Do not mess with me, DD, that is undoubtedly a fall taste.
Effectively, it does not matter as a result of this sandwich was simply the very best of all these choices and I would gladly have it any time of the 12 months.
I ordered mine on toast, which is a nod to my normal go-to at Dunks, the legendary Large N’ Toasted. The maple taste of the sausage tasted a bit synthetic, and the sweetness lingered a bit of lengthy, however these are nitpicky particulars. It is a scrumptious sandwich.
So to wrap it up, here is the report card.
LEMON POPPYSEED MUFFIN: B.
KEY LIME SQUARE: B.
LEMON CROISSANT DONUT: D.
MAPLE SAUSAGE BREAKFAST SANDWICH: A!
If any of those sound like they could tickle your fancy, I would not wait round to attempt them. I used to be on the grocery retailer final week and so they have been placing Halloween sweet on the cabinets. Within the enterprise world, fall is simply across the nook and shortly it’s going to be pumpkin spice every-damn-thing-everywhere. You will not have the ability to take a shit with out it smelling like pumpkin spice! So get all of your summer season treats when you can. And attempt to keep cool 😉
