Donut fries are a thing and we need to line our stomachs with them

Salivating.

If you don’t like donuts, please exit the room to your left leaving all of your belongings because you don’t need things where you’re going (hell).

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 donuts now that we know donut 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 ‘donut’ and ‘fries’ in quick succession may confuse you.

But donuts 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 donut fry has come from the United States where fries equal chips.

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

Either way, they look delicious.

Seeing as these donut fries 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?

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

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