I don’t see why you’d eat a peanut butter cookie, sugar cookie, or oatmeal raisin cookie in this day and age of readily-available chocolate chip cookies. I also fail to see the purpose of white chocolate when you can have actual chocolate. ---

In any authentic Japanese restaurant? Nope. ---

> [@Tabby\_Cat](#): > > Are there peole that defend red delicious apples? Really? Mealy crap. Almost any other variety of apple is more palatable, and granny smiths are the only kind of apple for baking. Seriously, what are you doing with the apples (other than perhaps using them as ornaments) that red delicious apples are superior? I can certainly agree with you about red (or, come to that, golden) delicious, but no-one who had ever baked with [Bramley apples](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramley_apple) would ever again consider Granny Smiths adequate to the task. Granny Smith’s are fine as eating apples, however (whereas Bramleys are not so good for eating raw). ---

> [@Maiira](#): > > My two cents regarding American cheese: > > The bricks of thicker-sliced American used in delis can stay. > > Kraft singles, on the other hand, should be pitched off a cliff. Yup. Kraft singles and all of the other fake cheeses can go. American cheese is wonderful. It is a nice smooth and soft mild cheddar suitable for most anything. ---
