The above amazing example of a vegan dessert is a close relative of a “cronut” – where a cronut(TM) is a croissant donut, this is something like a croissant muffin, and it’s a decadently delicious dessert often found at The Smokin Onion<\/a>, a vegan restaurant in Asheville that my wife and I like. Once I suggested that we split one of those desserts, and she’s like, “get your own!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I thought THAT was a donut(-like food).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not a donut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS is a donut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are apparently from Parlor Donuts in Greenville, SC<\/a>, “made in small batches every day.” They are absolutely not vegan in any way, shape or substantial form. They looked beyond delicious; they looked Cinnabon levels of absolutely unhealthy, and I declined to wreck my blood sugar with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What even is that atop the upper two donuts? A fried egg? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blogging every day, not eating those every day, that’s for sure. Would you like a wafer-thin mint?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
