Baked Goods
 

Now listen, I know I start a lot of food threads. I do. But I thought of this one the other day, and I couldn't resist. I tried, really I did, for days I told myself "They'll make fun of you for starting another food thread! They're all gonna laugh at you!" But I just can't help myself. Oh, and since we never have enough polls around here, I felt it necessary to put one in. :cool:

Say you were only allowed to choose one of these items at a breakfast/brunch. Any flavor/ingredients you'd like, but you can't have your muffin & eat toast too. :) Choose only 1.

Most of you know that I've never met a bread product I didn't like. :D But if I had to choose, I think I'd go for the bagel. I enjoy an occasional danish or donut, but when I say occasional, I'd guess twice a year at most. I usually have the bagel. With butter or cream cheese please. :D My fave is a whole wheat bagel with honey nut cream cheese or a blueberry bagel with butter. But since I'm trying to be a bit more healthy lately, I've been eating Weight Watchers bagels (only 2 points compared to about 5 or 6 for a regular bagel!) with a bit of peanut butter.

My least fave of these is probably the biscuit. I do love a good biscuit, but it's not a sure thing that it will actually be a good biscuit - they're often dry & then I'm disappointed. Scones are iffy too. And bread - it had better be fresh baked. I don't want some crappy slice of Wonder bread at my fancy brunch! :mad: :p

I voted for the biscuit because it's the most versatile of the selection. I can stuff it with bacon and egg to make it a sandwhich. I can layer it with butter and jelly and enjoy the sugar high. Or I can just use it to sop up my gravy and egg yolk after I shovel the everything else down. You just can't do that with a donut or coffee cake.

I'm a bread eating mofo. I must eat bread daily or I go nuts. You name it bread-wise and I will try it.

King's Hawaiian Bread is the best bread in the whole world!!! I love that stuff.

This was hard. My favorite subject...carbohydrates!!!

I chose the donut, mostly because I've been craving them lately but can't figure out why. Maybe it's just because I haven't had one in so long, or the fact that there is no longer a Dunkin' Donuts on every corner...

But on the list I love a good scone..especially if it's served with clotted cream and a fruit curd I like.

I also love a good bagel and always enjoy toast.

Otherwise the choices on the list I can leave or take.

Choose only one? Aw come on! :mad: :laugh: :wavey:

I don't think English Muffin should be included. I don't know why. But with that in mind, I accidentally picked donut.
But really, my favorite is english muffin. I don't think I can move my vote, though. The other day I went to breakfast and had the works, eggs, sausage, hash browns, english muffin. And then I ordered a second english muffin when I was done. Kind of gross, but there it is. Nothing is a more delectable butter holder. And we all know how delicious butter is.
Plus it is a very important component of another of my favorite treats, the Sausage McMuffin.

I just now had a great half a donut, and wished I had the rest, so I kind of jumped the gun on the donut thing. I do love donuts second. Yesterday I had two donuts. Kind of gross, but there it is again. :laugh:
But of course I love all the things on the list.

Who doesn't love to talk about food? I like food threads. Have we had a sandwich thread? My sig is all ready...

I went with bagel. I'm not 100% sure that it's totally my favorite.. but like someone mentioned, biscuits aren't really reliable unless they're my grandmother's. and she's not with us any longer.

I enjoy my blueberry bagel well toasted, but not burnt, with light grape jelly on both pieces of the inside. Then I sandwich it. No butter, no cream cheese. Just blueberry bagel and grape jelly. It's delicious, and smells soooo good.

It's the nooks & crannies. :nod:

And I think you should start a sandwich thread, if we haven't had one already. I know we've done soup, not sure about sandwiches.....




BTW - forgot to mention that I want my bagel lightly toasted. :wavey:

Donuts are fried , not baked :wavey: :wavey:

I went with Toast. I cannot live without having toast for breakfast in the morning. Without it, it feels as if something is missing from my life. In lieu of toast, gimme an English muffin. But not Thomas's. For some reason I only like store brand English muffins.

I like my English Muffin (preferably Bays) cut in half and then very toasted, verging on being burt. I then spread a generous portion of peanut butter on both slices. This is usually accompanied with a banana and a large glass of milk. If you add some canadian bacon, this would be my idea of a perfect breakfast.

rbs

I was just about to say the title of this thread is misleading :lol:

Toast is also not baked :p

When I think baked goods I think cookies, brownies, cake....

But whatever...I still enjoy the subject matter.

Oh and bagel-wise I like it all toasted to hell with the edges border-line burnt.

I had to go with the Bagel... Onion, Asiago, or Chocolate Chip when I need a lift! I love breakfast sandwhichs with the bagels....

HOWEVER! I will roll anything up in a tortilla!

F*ck off. :wavey: :wavey:


Yes, but bread is. :cool:


Should I change the title to "starchy breakfast crap?" :lol:

I Know. And coffee cake is a baked good...so I wouldn't know what else to title a thread such as this- because had you titled it "starchy breakfast crap" I would now be complaining about the lack of pancakes and french toast on the list :p

Exactly. I was going to throw crepes in there, but then the whole pancake realm would have opened up. :D Damn the "10 options maximum" poll rule!

I went with bread, because all my other favourites are really not that 'implemented' in our society here. I can only really induldge in those when I am in the US, so it wouldn't be fair to bread/toast if I chose any of those.

But what I really like best is toasted bagel. Dunkin' Donuts' toasted bagel with cream cheese. God, I wish they would import that here.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

unfair treatment of bread/toast is definitely a problem in our society.

The poor scone. Now I wish I had voted for it. :p

so is the hubby, he has bread or rolls at EVERY meal, & we too love, love the king's hawaiian bread & rolls, it is just fab!!!~

i picked cinnamon roll, i have a major weakness for huge smothered in icing warm cinnamon rolls!!!~

And I'm pretty sure bagels are boiled.

You could not be more right. They just don't get a chance anymore. At least people still appreciate it here, you know? :wavey:

It is possible to make toast in the oven, so I kind of included that in Paula's already incorrect use of "bake" :D

WE LOVE YOU PAULA :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

Your bagel is boiled - OY!

Enjoying fried donuts when one is "baked" could qualify, right?

You guys suck. :mad:


:p

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On I lighter note, I spent like $20 in a Taco Bell in Lafayette, Louisiana in like 1985 while baked. So, anything counts while baked. Sadly, we tried to eat the food in said Bell, but would up laughing at the shape of the Taco for like 30 minutes and afterward had lost the muchies and had to go home. Oh Well.

but bread used for toast is baked ... :shrug:

i chose muffins.

what's better than a muffin?

:cool:

"It's like Sophie's choice...." S. Nicks :D

I ADORE bread and baked goods. I picked cinnamon roll because that sounds really good to me right now. And whenever I splurge and grab one of those Pillsbury cans and bake 'em up, I love how they make my house smell. :thumbsup:

I eat English muffins at work, like every other day. Whole grain ones. Either peanut or cashew butter on 1 half, and Brummell & Brown spread on the other half, w/ cinnamon (no sugar) sprinkled on top.

A donut.


:p

I looove muffins...well ok, only Banana Nut ones...and sometimes Pumpkin ones...lol...but man, I like 'em with butter....so with that addition since muffins are horrible for you anyway, I only have one once in a great great while.




Is anyone else getting really hungry?

hooker. :lol: i knew someone was going to say that.

yeah, i hardly ever have muffins, which is a shame. i chose muffins without considering health aspects, because ... uh, well, it's just a poll. :laugh:

yes. :laugh:

No - it is unbaked and you can bake it in the oven to toast it.

Good Lord, I am arguing about toast - I need a pink pill - no two ways about it :laugh:

Yup, and I didn't have time to do groceries today. :mad: About the only edible thing I have in my kitchen right now is half a bag of Doritos. It's close to midnight and I haven't had dinner yet. Pizza place is closed.

What? Dude, bread is baked. :confused:

what the hell are you talking about?????

what she said. :laugh:

seriously, wtf? i am lmao. what the hell kind of toast do they have in georgia? :laugh:

Yeah, that's why you can buy it at a bakery. Duh, Jason.

lol. i also believe that's where the popular phrase "freshly BAKED bread" comes from.

call me crazy. :shrug:

:D

I agree - she was pointing out that toasting is not the same as baking. I noted that you can toast in the oven and, as you noted, bread already is baked, though not toasted, which can be achieved by rebaking :wavey:

No, not crazy. I wonder what Jason would do with a lump of dough if someone asked him to turn it into bread without the use of an oven.
