Well? If you had to choose 1, which would you choose? And don't f*cking ask me "Did I have a big dinner? Do I have to pay for it? Is it baked or toasted? Why aren't scones on there?" :rolleyes: :laugh:
Just pick one & give your specifics in your post. :D Please & thanks.

What, no cereal?
I usually have a bowl of Frosted Flakes, or a Reese cup.

^ I usually have a mini PB cup too. But if given the choice of all, I'd probably go for brownies. But they have to be chewy, not cake-like. No frosting, but nuts are OK. I could eat half a pan of brownies, I'll bet.
At a restaurant, I usually pick a chocolate peanut butter pie or something similar - the richer the better. I rarely like cake, although I do make a kickass chocolate Kahlua cake from scratch. :thumbsup: And Wegman's marble cake with rasberry filling & real whipped cream frosting is always good. But run of the mill store-bought birthday cake, or cake from a mix? I usually don't bother.

pie.
because it's pie, and pie is just good. hell yeah. chocolate pie. mmm. cold pie.. or hot pie.. with ice cream. meringue. flaky crust. graham crust. it's all good.
cheesecake is a close 2nd, if it's even on the list.
a little bit of icing is okay, but generally, i'm tired of cake after a couple bites.

Brownies. But I'm with ya, they have to be chewy. I do NOT like cake-like Brownies. Frosting is ok, nuts I can do without.
When I make brownies at home (rare) I usually pull them out of the oven before they're done. That's how gooey I like them...and I love the dough.
The runner-up is cookies, which also have to be soft and preferrably gooey. Chocolate chip is my favorite. I don't like hard cookies...

Warm chewy brownies. A little homemade frosting doesn't hurt, but that's about all. No nuts, no powdered sugar, just brownie me.
An honorable mention goes to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. :)

And a big f*ck you, er, I mean thank you, to Sarah for pointing out that I forgot to put cheesecake on the list of options! :p
Seriously, I meant to put it on there. Guess you'll all have to choose other & describe your favorite cheesecake goodness. :sorry:

Cheesecake should have been there instead of Jello. Jello isn't really a dessert. :p
...I'm KIDDING people...just to clarify before I get essays about what makes Jello a dessert.

Ooh...I've never been to a Rainforest Cafe to eat - but now I have an excuse :p
Why do I hate Chili's? Well the food never much appealed to me, the burgers aren't great and I was always annoyed that I couldn't get American Cheese on my burger :mad:
Have I mentioned how picky I am?
Basically though I'm not a big fan of those chain restaurants...Applebees, Chili's, it's all the same to me...though I do have to say I am a fan of Ruby Tuesday's :D

02-15-2007, 04:47 PM
^ I hate Applebees. I've never had good food there - of course, I've only been there twice, but since I hated it both times I'm not about to go back. Didn't like Ruby's either, but they just opened up a new on here & we had a coupon, so we went. The service was a tad slow, but not a big deal, we didn't complain. For some reason, the waitress offered us the salad bar & a free dessert to make up for it. Like I said, we had no problem with the place, but who am I to turn down free food? :thumbsup: I may have to go back to Ruby's.
I prefer TGIFriday's & Chili's.

honest to God...I hate Ruby because I got their most expensive burger it was like the most organic, pure, top of the shelf crap and it must have weighed in at a quarter of an ounce:lol:

I've found from experience new restaurants in general are never that good. And I went to a new Ruby's over Christmas break and it was AWFUL. But I hear it's gotten better...
The ones in Rochester were fabulous. Mostly I love the salad bar...I never had their desserts...but I'm sure they're fine.
But Applebees - blah. And it's my grandparents favorite restaurant, so every time I visit them I'm forced to go there...blech.

They never did when I used to go. It was Cheddar, Swiss or something else. I'd ask every time - and every time they'd say no American. Maybe enough people complained?
If so I may give them another chance one day - but as Christy can back up - I am a cheese nazi when it comes to burgers - and I do not like cheddar for cheeseburgers....at all.

I have made bannas foster since I was like ten. I have also made it with a chef at Commander's Palace, where I believe it was created by the Brennans. I LOVE bannas foster as did a friend of mine - so much that he named his sailboat "Bannas Foster" :cool:

And beer is more of a side dish for me, as opposed to a dessert. :p I suppose I should have put in after dinner drink (amaretto, Frangelico, etc.) or ice wine. Goddammit. Well, pick other people!

Okay, if I have to choose I'll go with pudding. Only chocolate pudding though. I can tolerate ice cream also, but I don't ever, ever have desert. It's a waste of stomach space when there is all that delicious other food around. I don't really like sweet things. :shrug:

I'm proud of you for your ongoing commitment to destroying bad spelling. Be ever vigilant. :laugh:
I like cake, which could easily include ice cream, too, so it was a natural choice, 2 in one and all that.
What I usually have is little debbie or a candybar. Though not necessarily for dessert per se...more like whenever I feel like it...

Not even mint chocolate chip?
The main reason why I rarely buy ice cream. I like lots of kinds of ice cream, billions one might say, but Mint CC could be the death of me. God, I love that stuff. I think the treachery of it is that the mint flavor makes the ice cream seem much less rich than most other ice creams seem, so I can just keep eating and eating, without getting that "too rich, too much" feeling. It's like I'm eating a light, refreshing breathmint or some shizz. :mad: Other flavors have a similar quality, mostly fruit flavors, but mint beats them all for porkoutability. IMO, of course.
Oh, and Ben n Jerry's is even worse, because it tastes more minty and cool and fresh and light and breezy. :mad: :laugh:
Yeah, I don't buy ice cream very much. Merely a thigh-saving precaution.
