Now I’m not normally one to complain, but. Today I went in to Dougies on chambers flat road at about 9am with my 3 babies and bought a 6 pack. This one particular custard donut tasted funny to me I took a 2nd bite to make sure I’m not being fussy about it but still it didn’t taste like the custard donut I was used to for whatever reason. I decided to go in and kindly asked to swap for another- the lady at the counter said I can swap for the same one?? I said uhh okay never mind.

The donuts I got from Dougie's, last night, were bought on whim alone and with absolutely no expectation. I ate one, and then I ate another. And then - I couldn't eat any more. Dougie's donuts look like donuts, but each one is actually a rich, exciting, lovely cake... that looks like a donut. To paraphrase Pratchett: a Dougie's donut is what ordinary donuts, ordinary donuts who have lived a good and blameless life, think they'll become once they...
