In the interest of experimentation, I've been digging deep into Food Hybrids. I got introduced to the cronut which was really amazing but apparently there's so much more to choose from. Going to break it down here:
1. The Duffin - a cross between a donut and a muffin. Sweet and sticky and cake-like, injected with jam. Pretty good. Would order again.
2. The Cretzel - a cross between a croissant and a pretzel. They're brown, and apparently made that way by covering croissant dough in lye and sprinkling with salt. I think I'd just prefer a regular pretzel?
3. The Brookie - a cookie and a brownie combination. The one I had was a cookie topped with a brownie but apparently it can be the opposite too. This is a good combo though, even if it's so sweet I think I forgot it was supposed to be a breakfast food. Or is it? Maybe it's just dessert. Total sugar rush either way. I didn't blink for a few seconds.
4. The Donnoli - a donut and cannoli fusion. AKA a donut filled with cannoli cream, the sweet ricotta kind. Kind of reminds me of funnel cake. It's also very sweet but that's pretty much this whole list and I need to brush my teeth again.
5. The Wonut - a waffle and a donut (a waffle rounded and then fried like a donut). Why is everything bred with donuts? That brings me to my next experiment...
6. The Townie - a tart and a brownie. The brownie was really gooey inside the crispness of the pastry outside and I think this one is my favorite so far because who would have thought?
7. Finally, concluding my diabetic experiment with the pie shake - a milkshake with pie flavors, like blueberry or pumpkin or pecan. Though I also think it involves putting an actual slice of pie into a blender which, honestly, I completely approve of.
Which one is your favorite? Is there one I missed that I should try? I'd like to know for my data-compiling purposes. And for when it's less freezing outside, because
that's definitely a temperature.
