Baked Goods

[skcin]

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.

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. 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. 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!

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!

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.
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.

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.

Donuts are fried , not baked

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.

Toast is also not baked

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!

Yes, but bread is.


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

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
