    <wails> I don't even know what a peep is and had to google

    It's a marshmallow :) and it's made into people ..hot damn you yanks get the best stuff

    Apart form your chocolate, american chocolate sucks <leggsit>

    I have to agree with you on our chocolate for the most part. Most our of chocolate is overly sweetened. There is some good stuff, but not as nice as what you get overseas for the most part.

    It's not the sweet that gets me, I can love a good Belgian milk chocolate with the best of them....but the paraffin! Hershey bars and other US chocolate have wax in them to give that SNAP and keep them from melting at ambient temperatures in warm climates. I'm not a big chocolate fan (weird because I love most bitter food and drink like dark greens and IPA) but love a good creamy fudge or melty choco treat.

    But, seriously, I'd give up chocolate before I ever thought about passing by goodies like cheesecake or buttercream vanilla frosting.

    Waxy chocolate is an abomination.

    All this Peep talk (I blame bearded tincanonastring) and no one has posted my preferred Peep approach, which my FIL pioneered AFAIK. Peeps are best enjoyed extremely stale. They come out around Easter = perfect Peep consumption time frame is around July / August. Give the chemikillz time to work their magic before you consume them!

    PROTIP: You can expedite the stalening by opening a corner of the pack. They get 4-month stale within 2 weeks.

    NO! My mom gives me two packages of Peeps for Easter every year. One for now (Peeps S'mores!) and one to get lost and forgotten in the cupboard, only to be delightfully rediscovered around Independence Day :o:D . Shortcutting the whole process sullies the magic and tradition :'(

    You can do an allergen elimination diets/cleanses to help you figure out food allergens. I've done them with doctor supervision. They work. But they aren't about weight loss.

    An elimination diet to determine if one is allergic to a food IS NOT a detox/cleanse.



    Hi Brian - some people use these words interchangably because they don't know/understand the difference. Thought it was worthwhile to make sure the OP gets the info she needs. This thread has seemed pretty aggressively bullying/making fun of the OP, and I don't think that's ever very helpful. I was a newbie on the boards not so long ago, I'm sure she's just looking for guidance...

    If they use the words interchangeably they are using it wrong, and why would you continue stating it incorrectly if you know its incorrect? As someone that had to go one an elimination diet, it had nothing to do with a detox. It just meant my diet was very very boring.

    Ugh! My parents buy those giant Walmart chocolate bunnies for my kids every Easter but they never get eaten (not even by me). Lindt gold bunnies all the way....

    I'm just posting for the sake of it before this thread turns completely to custard and gets locked.

    Here is a cat performing a cleanse...

    You're the only one trying to interchange the terms, then making wild accusations of bullying and assumptions of what the OP meant when her question was quite clear (and not what you tried to inject). I recommend learning what bullying is before you make more baseless accusations.

    Godiva Bunnies. 'Nuff said :)

    (Lindt is a very very close 2nd)

    I will accept donations of both so I can do blind taste tests. Must.be.accurate.
