    The sound of raindrop cake doesn't appeal to me.

    sounds like to much trouble for a tasteless desserts that is designed for mission impossible "in 3 minutes This dessert will self destruct"

    Cronuts

    I've tried a croughnut and can declare they are not worth the calories.

    I don't have high hopes for cronuts, as I'm not all that into croissants or donuts, but I would be interested in trying one.

    I have had once before and it was meh. But I suspect it's because I got it from DD and not a fancy bakery.

    I agree. Another easy portable egg for breakfast or a snack

    Here is an opinionated review of a few local cronut, er, doughssant options:

    My take away, as someone who hates s'mores (mainly bc I hate marshmallow), is that although I would try a doughssant, I have zero interest in a s'mores doughssant.

    I apparently missed this trend (I'd like to try most of them, however, although the bacon-themed first one is underwhelming): https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/savory-cupcakes?

    Anything labeled “Keto-friendly”.

    Absolutely this!

    Also anything with fake sweetener.. I don’t care if it’s the newest trendy thing and supposedly better than all the others. If you want something sweet, you just need to factor in the calories. Maybe you use something considered to be less harmful like maple syrup or honey. Anything that mysteriously tastes sweet but has 0 calories can’t be good for you.

    For me, these fall in the category of "anything tastes good if you put enough cheese on it." 😂😂

    I like them both and both have their uses. But I am not going to somehow lie to myself that these are supposed to resemble pasta in any way what so ever.

    Yeah, this is same as me. I don't think they taste like pasta, but I like both of them -- after all, I like zucchini in other forms, and I like winter squash in general. I also think they make a nice vehicle for tasty sauces, as does pasta. The specific sauce I made varies based on what I am putting it on.

    I'm not really in to those functional beverages and sparkling waters with adaptogens and herbs and stuff

    I don't mind stretching pasta by replacing a quarter of spaghetti with spiralized courgette. As long as have at least two thirds of the chewy texture of real pasta, I don't mind swapping some of it.

    All of them basically :)

    I eat very regular, plain foods almost all the time as I find them easier to count/control and also I don't really feel I need any kind of fancy or trendy or fashionable food. It also seems easier to me as I prefer to think as less as possible about diet/weight etc. (which still means quite a lot compared to most people I think).

    I loooooove chai, and order it on Amazon by the pound.

    Yesterday amazon suggested some chai brand that has various artistically labelled bottled chai flavors claiming to support brain health, focus, mental stability, all kinds of woo things.

    Nooooooo thanks.
