My dad is sometimes okay

[taratru]

Because he showed up with these. A dozen of my favorite donut IN THE WORLD. They're from the grocery store in my mom's tiny little hometown. So effing good. So effing bad.

Or....

[jordylee]

mmmmm those look so good! I'm pretty sure my mouth watered a little.

I have issues, because I'm currently up with heart burn (no clue wtf it is from, I ate nothing out of the ordinary), and I still want to finish off that row you started. Lol ::drool::

[kams]

He is sweeter than that whole box of donuts!

[turboteal]

Those look like hot dog buns smeared with icing! What are they called, and what do they taste like?

[shauni27]

omg gimme.

[bluedaisyus]

There's a place in a small town near us that is TOTALLY WORTH going to just for the maple long johns they have. They are insanely good.

Great, now I want a long john...

Yes, we need to know!

[bluedaisyus]

How do you people not know what long johns are?! They taste like heaven.

Or like cream filled donuts with icing. Same thing.

Wow! I am drooling all over my screen right now.

What is inside? Is it more of that icing? Or is creamy custard like goodness? I can't take the ones that are filled w/more of the icing. (OK, I wouldn't kick them out of my mouth, but really, those are too sweet for me.) I usually go for the donuts that have the chocolate on top, and then they're filled with the custard.

They are long johns and they are NOT filled, which makes them awesome. The donut part is yeasty goodness and the icing is shortening frosting. I've been eating these since, well, since I was born pretty much. They never ever change.

As an added bonus, when I go to get them, all the old ladies at the store know who I am..."oh, you're Emily's daughter!" My mom died in 1982, y'all. Crazy.

This is a good update! These donuts would work quite happily in my mouth.

Aw I love them and their donuts even more now. Great donut description, btw.

Well apparently taratru's aren't filled but the ones here are cream like light fluffy icing, not like custard. I really like custard with chocolate, too (Boston cream is what they call them here), but I love long johns!
