I imagine that this cream filled donut - a prime example of food porn that was posted by Robyn, the Girl Who Ate Everything - has stopped a lot of people dead in their tracks, both those who came across it in person and those who are viewing it online. It is truly an impressive sight, with a cream:donut ratio of at least 3:1. It is a more impressive sight if you actually like cream-filled donuts. Judging by the offerings at the average donut shop, it appears as though filled donuts are substantially less popular than their cream, custard or jelly-filled counterparts and that, even when people enjoy the filled donuts, they seem to opt for the unfilled as more of a daily donut, saving the filled version for a special treat.
That said, if you're chowing down on a donut for breakfast on a regular basis, you're probably not all that worried about the difference between a special indulgence and a regular one. And either way, you'd definitely think twice before passing this one by!

Yes, I was indeed stopped in my tracks when I saw this donut at Le Pain Quotidien on Melrose! Unfortunately mine was also kind of stale. Yes, it was pretty good (and I'm sure I'll have another when I go back next) but when something looks this good it's hard for the taste to live up to expectations!

I looked at the pictre and had to call the paramedics. My heart stopped until I scrolled down to the comment box. A year ago, I would have jumped at the chance to taste one of those. Now i'd be better off running away.

Thanks for linking to my site! I had been wondering what that donut was like for years so I finally bought it, not for any special occasion but just so I could get THE DONUT OUT OF MY MIIIND! And now it is. "Cream sandwich made of donut" is a better description than "cream filled donut" and it sadly looks better than it tastes. Ah well, I had to find out for myself. :)
