Doughnut fries are a thing so we need to loosen our belts a little more

Jade Hayden

Salivating.

If you don’t like doughnuts, please exit the room to your left, leaving all of your belongings behind since  you won’t need things where you’re going…

Hell, because you’re a bad human being.

Okay, a slight exaggeration and overreaction perhaps, and yet, this is how strongly we feel about the fried dough-y goodness.

We feel even better about doughnuts now that we know doughnut fries exist too.

And can you blame us, really? Look at them, like.

So long.

So dough-y.

So fried.

Watch yourself though because hearing the words ‘doughnut’ and ‘fries’ in quick succession may confuse you.

But doughnuts are fried, you may say.

That doesn’t make any sense, you may whine.

In this case it does though because the origin of the doughnut fry has come from the United States where fries equal chips.

So, essentially they’re doughnut chips or, if you want to get technical, long and thin-ish doughnuts.

Either way, they look delicious.

Seeing as these miracles of humanity are an American invention, it makes sense then that they’re not actually available here in Ireland.

A true tragedy of our times but what can you do?

They are the brain-child of the popular chain Dunkin’ Donuts – and they’re currently only available in Massachusetts.

Looks like we’re not the only ones being deprived then.
