    Also, cornbread should always be baked in cast iron and cut into wedges, as pictured. This ensures everyone gets an equal portion of the crispy sides. Squares (or whatever square shape you can get from a round pan) is not acceptable and may result in table fights :tongue:

    I love cornbread, but I have never actually tried it made in cast iron. I may be making that this weekend.

    Don't forget to preheat the skillet as well as the oven.

    I don't understand how people like to eat dried seaweed. I found a pack at Grocery Outlet for a decent price a few years ago, & bought one to find out what it tasted like. Basically at least to me it tasted like pulling at grass as a kid & eating some to see what it tasted like.

    YES! I was so curious about the "seaweed snax" flavored packs. Bought one to try once and almost gagged. It was disgusting!

    This reminded me it's been years since I've had french toast so I need to make some today.

    Oreos are best as an ingredient rather than a stand alone snack. Crushed and on/in ice cream or pudding is good. if I must eat them as a cookie, dipping in coffee is better than dipped in milk or plain.

    Balsamic vinegar is bottled bile.

    Agreed! My husband loves it and will at multiple packages at once. I tried one sheet once and I tasted that nastiness all day

    I find the dried Kale & Broccoli just as disgusting! Blech.

    The other day I ate the Peppermint Bark Oreos & could understand how some of the people thought the filling of an Oreo tasted/texture of toothpaste. Still love Oreos though :D.

    That makes me think of Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joe’s. those are so good!

    "S'mores" is a misnomer. I don't want any, much less some more.

    Homemade marshmallows are nothing but huge clouds of sugar cut into cubes.

    Hot cocoa is hot chocolate for losers.

    "Milk" is milk from cows, sheep, and goats. Products made from soy, almond, and oats are liquid you put in your coffee. If you need to use them for health reasons, fine, just don't call them "milk."

    Wait, you mean that "Hot Chocolate" & "Hot Cocoa" are not just two different names for the same thing?!

    I love baked beans; all that sugar makes my farts smell sweet... :laugh:

    I found this comment inspiring.

    I prefer English baked beans. They have a more tomato-y base and are a little less sweet. I can get them at Wegmans.

    Yeah, this keeps coming up, but what's the difference?

    I think it's "made with powder" (cocoa powder/sugar; cocoa mix) vs. "made with block/chunk chocolate" of some kind (chopped, grated, melted).

    I see zero point to jam or jelly (or whatever else similar fruit spreads might be called) and never use them.

    (I imagine this is an unpopular opinion.)

    Cold baked beans on white bread slathered with mayo- sandwich heaven.

    I agree with the comment on fruit spreads. Even as a kid I didn’t care for them. I don’t typically like to spread anything on my bread in general and can have it dry.
