Fieldsof_flowers said: Out of all other desserts, you crave chocolate ice cream?! Hmmmโฆchocolate ice-cream is my least favorite dessert. Now chocolate-cookie dough on the other handโฆI could definitely have a big bowl of that.
Fieldsof_flowers said: Wow, Oreos are some of my favorites too. You and I completely disagree in desserts. I DO agree that almost all cakes in stores are extremely processed/way too sweet and not even worth buying, but I think homemade cakes are very good, as long as they are made well. Donuts are one thing I really don't like, except for the plain but glazed ones and the mini chocolate. I'm not a huge fan of powdered, but I can deal with it.
I'm curiousโฆdo you like pancakes? (I consider pancakes to be a breakfast dessert)
plasko20 said: I only eat pancakes on pancake day (Mardi Gras/shrove Tuesday), just out of tradition. They are great fun to make, but like eating oily styrofoam. Waffles, too.
Now, sit me down with a jar of Nutella and a spoon and I am all set. No pancakes, waffles, or any breads required.
I do like challah bread or brioche, but honestly never buy them as they cost a fortune. Chocolate croissants are OK, too. Or almond-paste croissants.
Like you, I also do not like donuts (taste like oil). However, I do like cinnamon buns which are essentially donuts with cinnamon and a glaze. So, not sure how that works. Perhaps the cinnamon masks the oil taste or something. My fave cinnamon bun memories actually come from Ikea, bizarrely.
Murky said: It would be a toss up between cheesecake and chocolate. Any kind of chocolate. Cheesecake for when I'd want something more filling, chocolate at all other times. It's been reported that the antioxidants in chocolate, especially in dark chocolate, may lead to longer lives. I figure I should be good to at least 250 just from past consumed chocolate!
plasko20 said: All cakes of all types I have tried in the USA are terrible. Really really bad. It seems no bakery knows that cream is something you make from dairy, not chemicals (hydrogenated vegetable oil is what they use to make 'cream' from a can).
plasko20 said: That is also why I hate Oreos. Like licking a pile of salt. Even thinking about Oreos makes me mentally retch inside.
