Summer time! It is that very particular time of the yr when our local weather most intently resembles that of Hell. In Boston, [at the time of this writing] temps have been constantly 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 continuously drained. (Folks from different components of the US are most likely pondering “Hey, that is how New Englanders all the time are!”)
Everyone’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 occasions, the warmth may even make a few of my favourite meals like burgers and pizza appear heavy or repulsive. That is a legit drawback for a man who writes for a weblog that is largely about junk meals.
Properly thank heavens the satisfaction and pleasure of Massachusetts, Dunkin’ Donuts, has a fairly 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.
This 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 delicate tartness from the filling, which is a ringer for what you’d anticipate in a key lime pie. The crumble tastes like espresso cake, including notes of cinnamon into the combination.
Not unhealthy in any respect! Actually a preferable various to, say, a Boston Creme on a sizzling day. It is most likely 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 a giant fan of Dunks’ Glazed Croissant Donut. If you have not had one earlier than, it is largely the textural variations that make it totally different from the common glazed, nevertheless it delivers. One in every of my bucket record gadgets is to take two and use them as cheeseburger buns. Yeah, I ought to most likely preserve that one in direction of the underside of the record.
Huh. The graham cracker crumble is crashing this occasion, too. Graham cracker crumble, aren’t you having your personal occasion subsequent door? What are you doing right here?
this appears to be like like a college image
Just a few bites depart this query unanswered. These cinnamon notes are sort of simply hanging round, getting in the best way of the superb style of the croissant donut and dulling the lemon taste. On high 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. Actually, 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 unhealthy both. Delicate, even crumb, and well-balanced flavors. It fulfills it goal 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 positively a fall taste.
Properly, it does not matter as a result of this sandwich was simply one of the best of all these choices and I might gladly have it any time of the yr.
I ordered mine on toast, which is a nod to my ordinary 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 may tickle your fancy, I would not wait round to attempt them. I used to be on the grocery retailer final week and so they had been placing Halloween sweet on the cabinets. Within the enterprise world, fall is simply across the nook and shortly it will 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 😉
