I have gotten into many arguments over this one

    I feel the same way about a good donut. Also bacon is best as just bacon and never improved by wrapping it around things and under or over cooking it. And the perfect cookie is a simple, perfectly baked, chocolate chip cookie. With so many foods, simple and perfectly prepared will always beat overly complex.

      Chocolate chip is a garbage-tier cookie. I get supremely disappointed when what I thought was a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie turns out to be a lame chocolate chip. Won’t eat them.

        One the one hand I agree that oatmeal raisin cookies are great, but you’re just wrong about chocolate chip. Sometimes my grandma would “adulterate” oatmeal raisin cookies by adding M&M’s.

      I feel you on donuts since my favorite donut is a plain fastnacht

      I used to like bacon but then my tastebuds decided to rewire in my early 20s and now it’s too salty :[

      Ooh, here’s another horrible opinion from me. The best chocolate chip cookie has no chips. Just give me that delicious baking soda taste yessss.

      If anyone knows what planet I’m from please lmk.

        I respect your opinion, but you’re missing out on so much good delicious hot crispy sizzling bacon. Just by unsalted next time lol

        That might be one to mention to your doctor actually. It shouldn’t be anything too concerning but it may be indicative of a deficiency in some nutrients or mineral.

        My doctors got very concerned when I mentioned that I disliked the taste of salt. Not just salty foods or bacon but just the weird mineral and acrid taste of salt. Better now but still not a fan.

        That your body does want a different sodium pairing is interesting.

        Do you drink a lot of electrolyte drinks like Gatorade?

    • This is a good list. Some foods are perfect as is and trying to improve on them makes them worse. Id add chocolate to your list. Chocolate is perfect as is. I do like it with other stuff added but it doesnt need it.

        I almost added chocolate and coffee, but there is just so much variety in both and I love them all. Besides, chocolate+peanut butter+pretzels is kind of my exception to the less is more argument.
