Are awefull, but step daughter likes em as a fast breakfast. Tried the new 'oatmeal' ones this am, and they put a new slant on awefull. Ineatable is more the word....now the pumpkin pie ones from the holidays were OK,but still hard to take. -------------

Yeah they're definitely a very little and not very often kind of thing for me. If there's a box in the house I'll have one mostly out of curiosity... Every time. |

The blueberry frosted and cinnamon sugar ones are delicious. Those are two different poptarts, btw. -------------

Yeah, cinnamon sugar (frosted) is the way to go. You want awful? Any un-frosted one is a crime against humanity! ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I'm a fan of strawberry frosted myself. Or blueberry frosted... Why do they even make "non" frosted versions? Like it suddenly becomes "healthy" if there is no frosting to make it taste good? The kroger versions are just as good as the "real" ones too. And they often go on sale for $1 a box or less. ------------- They tremble at my name...

I can only do the strawberry ones cold. Once they're toasted, it's a no-go for me. Same goes for the s'mores ones. Cold they're fine, but when they get hot, they're too sugary for me. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

No love for the Wildberry? Wildberry pop tarts were my breakfast of choice when I was in school and college because I had no time for anything else. Now My breakfast consist of two cups of coffee. ------------- Face it guys, common sense is a form of wealth and we're surrounded by poverty.-Strato |

Never buy them for myself, but I'll eat the frosted strawberry ones if they're in the house. I went on a big kick of having two pop tarts and a carnation breakfast every morning for a long while. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

On the subject of doughnuts, Krispy Kremes had a test stall in one of the shopping centres down the road from me. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/feb/15/krispy-kremes-cause-chaos-edinburgh" rel="nofollow - This sums it up and n response I have decided I'm not going to deal with people any more.

Thing with toaster strudels is, is it possible to actually cook the stupid things without leaving the center frozen or burning the outside. -------------

don't get me wrong, I'll get down with some cream/jelly/custard filled or glazed or whatever... but for some reason the plain cake ones hold a special place in my heart.

| I've always maintained that the worst part of a donut is the dough. I'm just not interested in it. If you hand me a maple bar I'll eat the icing and throw out the rest. |

| Slightly funny story about Krispy Kreme. In middle school, I got 2 coupons for 6 free donuts. They said only one can be redeemed at a time. I went with my mom and we went up and said we would like to get 12 free donuts. The cashier said no, only one can be redeemed per visit. So we thought, man this will be a slight annoyance to get them, go back to our car, then have to come back. Then we thought, hey, I can take 6 and my mom can take 6. Cashiers looked defeated and gave us our 12 donuts. They are good though and it's cool to see them being made in store. The glazed donuts just melt in your mouth. |

Krispi-Creme donuts inhale deeply, take the teeth right out of your mouth as too sweet. Being a serious diabetic I 'cheat' no and then, but these things are a death warrent. I miss my Dunkin Donuts, there are some that I can eat without a massive short term fast acting insulin shot. We have a few LeMar's a poor attempt at a Dunkin Donuts, and donut shops really do not exsist here in Lincoln, NE. Coffee Shops try, and fail regularly. -------------

I can eat them in a pinch, but no matter what there is an aftertaste that comes with eating them. Almost like drinking diet soda. Just something not right about it. Now, a family-owned Hinkley's doughnut. That's the stuff... http://local.yahoo.com/info-16420112-hinkley-bakery-jackson" rel="nofollow - http://local.yahoo.com/info-16420112-hinkley-bakery-jackson http://www.yelp.com/biz/hinkley-bakery-jackson" rel="nofollow - http://www.yelp.com/biz/hinkley-bakery-jackson http://www.mlive.com/living/jackson/index.ssf/2011/03/hinkley_bakerys_doughnuts_stil.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.mlive.com/living/jackson/index.ssf/2011/03/hinkley_bakerys_doughnuts_stil.html Anytime I've ever gone there, the doughnuts are always warm in the display case having only been there 5 minutes or less. Warm, soft and doughy goodness only a diabetic would hate... -------------

There's no time for that sort of behavior with a toaster strudel! If you have time to sit and let the damn thing thaw, you clearly have time to make a decent breakfast. |

| Since no one is on the subject... Anyone have any ideas for a high fiber breakfast that isn't sweet? I just can't do sweet breakfast, but oatmeal is the one surefire way to get a big dose of fiber, it seems. Am I gonna have to become even more of a young old man and go with metamucil? |
Posted By: Shub
Date Posted: 26 February 2013 at 9:53pm
| You could do a bagel or a muffin or something. A lot of them are high in fiber and they don't have to be sweet. My fiance finds herself in the same situation. |

Eh, bagels certainly aren't high in fiber, unless they're some abomination that shouldn't be called a bagel (note: anything that is not a montreal style bagel doesn't deserve to be called a bagel, which means I haven't eaten a bagel in about 2 years. This morning attempted something I've long contemplated but been too skeptical to try: savory oatmeal. Went simple for a first attempt, fried tomato and egg, bacon, dill. Verdict? Not bad, definitely worth giving another try. Next time I'm thinking sauteed garlic and maybe shallot in the oats. http://lunchtogo.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow"> |

Bran flakes are the biggest breakfast bang to buck that's not sweet. Maybe cooked barley? I've never had barley for breakfast but it might be good with an egg on it.

My thoughts on various things in this thread: 1) PopTarts. I never buy them, but I do enjoy them if I'm at someone's house and they offer me one, or if they're in the random stack of stuff you sometimes get in a hotel breakfast. Entenmanns used to have the best version of the toaster-ready-square-pastry-thing. I really only like the fruit flavored ones, for some reason the s'mores or cinnamon ones don't sit well with me. I don't really care about frosting one way or another. They're also good broken up over ice cream if you're really feeling like killing yourself. 2) Donuts. I cannot stand donuts for breakfast. I don't generally like sweet breakfasts all that much, the sweetest I do is Peanut Butter Crunch, but that's because I really like peanut butter. My general go-to breakfast is Rice Crispies with a sliced banana. But, I do really like donuts as a dessert food, and I wish they were more acceptable as a dessert. I also know I'm weird because of this, but I really prefer cake donuts to yeast donuts, probably because I mostly eat donuts as a dessert food, and cake donuts are more like cake. Finally, Dunkin Donuts is miles and miles better than Krispy Kreme. I will never understand the fascination around Krispy Kreme.
