Can I petition MFP users to use the terms "more ideal" and "less ideal" instead of good/bad foods?

RANDOM HOMEMADE APPLE PIE
Ingredients
for the pastry
• 250g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 50g icing sugar
• sea salt
• 1 lemon
• 125g cold butter, plus extra for greasing
• 1 large egg, preferably free-range or organic
• a splash of milk
for the filling
• 1 large Bramley cooking apple
• 4 eating apples
• 3 tablespoons Demerara or muscovado sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• a handful of sultanas or raisins
• ½ a lemon
You have to admit you can almost smell the homemade apple pie. The first one sounds horrible.
if I get an apple pie from the bakery is it bad/fake because processed????
No, you can tell that it's bad/fake because its ingredients are in ALL CAPS.
/science
The supermarket apple pie is a cut and paste job, nothing more, nothing less and the random apple pie is just that - random. I have never cooked an apple pie and don't intend to in the near future and if I did, I would have to search for a gluten free, low sugar recipe, give the raisins the flick, definitely look for one with cinnamon (Need2Exercise - your recipe sounds awesome) or failing all of that I would have to dig up poor old granny.
All this has done is left me craving apple pie.

You still didn't say what makes the store pie "horrible" (your own words).0 -
err...no.0

last time I checked I don't think paleolithic people were eating apple pie and donuts, so you are definitely not doing paleo.
Nice deflection on my question about processed foods...why are they "fake"? Does processing make them not real?
My nanna died close on 30 years ago. Just reminiscing. And the last time I ate a donut would be 10 years ago but I still remember the taste as I smell the donuts cooking at a donut shop. Even if I ate it, it would be a tiny percentage of my regular food.
A good bakery can produce an amazing apple pie. To me, my first example is fake.
400 calorie donut is a tiny percentage of your regular food. How much Paleoing are you doing?

400 calorie donut eaten 10 years ago makes no difference to Paleo in any shape or form. lol0

My poor old granny is dead and her recipe died with her so I chose a RANDOM recipe of a homemade apple pie. Not rocket science that one.stevencloser wrote: »You still didn't say what makes the store pie "horrible" (your own words).
I will leave you to buy it and test it out and compare it to a homemade apple pie and then we will see who uses the word "horrible."
I don't eat wheat and only eat fresh ingredients where ever possible so I am not prepared to try it out and will rely on my memories of by gone years.0 -
Sounds like someone needs a better bakery.0

OMG finding a good bakery is easy. We have some awesome bakeries here and the smell is enough to drive you nuts. But sadly, all use wheat and are not gluten free and I suffer badly if I eat it. Hence, the reason I follow a Paleo style diet. It suits me.

People really shouldn't fight about apple pie. Apple pie is for happiness and love and the USA.0

Fight over the last slice, definitely but never about apple pie. I agree 99.9%, apple pie is for happiness and love and maybe the USA but certainly Aussie and as long as we have grannies, we will always have a great apple pie.
Don't we all stand now for the national anthem?.lol0 -

No gluten = Paleo?
