to really not like chocolate brownies ?

Every time I have sampled one I have decided it is a piece of under-baked chocolate cake. I don't see the appeal.

I have similar misgivings about carrot cake. Call me old-fashioned but I thought cakes were made from flour, fat and sugar. Not root vegetables.

Brownies are overrated.

Carrot cake, however, is the food of the gods. With cream cheese frosting and walnuts. And NO BLOODY RAISINS!

Different people like different food - why would it be unreasonable?

TBH, I'm not all that fussed about cake in general - I'm a chocolate fiend instead.

I make excellent chocolate brownies though - because they have a more cakey consistency than those undercooked types that you are talking about, OP.

I don't like carrot cake much either - and having just sampled my first red velvet cake last week (which I believe is made from beetroot?), that can go and do one as well.

Of particular annoyance is how supermarket bakery cookies seem to have (over the last few years) gone from being proper baked biscuit goods and turned into floppy, half-cooked specimens. I only ever buy the double chocolate ones (usually dark brown in colour) as they are the only ones that seem to stay in the oven for long enough!

You are fully entitled to have your own likes and dislikes. There is no law saying everyone must like chocolate brownie. Grin

I like most things chocolate. I think a chocolate cheesecake would be my preferred option though.

It's late. I thought this might be a divisive subject. Forgive me. I have to go to work at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

I like mushrooms though.

YANBU. Brownies have a weird texture and aren't chocolatey enough.

5am on a Sunday, ouch! Hmmmm I like brownies but only when they're properly made, shop bought ones tend to be dry and mealy and just not chocolatey enough.

My chocolate brownies are the only ones worth eating. Proper carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and NO SODDING RAISINS is food of the gods but chocolate cheesecake? Foul and disgusting!

See now I like a bit of stodge, and I like chocolate cake, but brownies just miss the point of both. Yanbu.

I don't like chocolate brownies as a rule. However, Village Bakery chocolate brownies are completely marvellous.

Brownies are ace, carrot cake not my favourite but can be delicious. Mushrooms are fucking disgusting.

Brownies are better than chocolate cake.

I don't understand the way people go weak about Brownies. They are fine and tasty, but they are collectively fetishised to a strange degree, and there are hundreds of things I'd rather eat.

I love a bit of stodge too. Also, I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but I made very good brownies. I can't bake anything else though!

I've never tasted a brownie I liked and red velvet is just like shagging someone you've fantasised about for years and then found out they where shit in bed.

Mushrooms rule and I'm always bereft if I have bacon and crusty bread in the house but have forgotten to buy mushies. Just, it's now a warm ham sarnie. cries
