    When I worked at a well known investment bank, there would be a selection of food put out every friday.

    The Fast Track Visa types rushed to get it like they hadnt eaten for a week

    Tesco doughnuts are sometimes really good. The problem is the quality is quite variable... I only buy them when they look light and fluffy instead of thick and stodgy.

    Personally, I really like apple ones. But Fudge doughnuts (custard filled, fudge on top) are my favourite when I missed breakfast to run for the train and it's cold and raining... or used to be before I worked from home. I do miss them...

    When permie, I'd use any excuse to bake a chocolate cake for the team, birthdays, Eid, Hanukkah etc.. and when I finish a contract I usually take one in too.
    I love baking, and people seem to really enjoy home made stuff.
