Poll: Let's Talk about Brownies

[honestdiscussioner]

If every brownie you've had has been dry, then all you're saying is you've never tried an appropriately created brownie. If all the beer I had was miller lite I'd probably think beer tastes gross too.

fish < chicken < beef < pork < brownies < chocolate chip cookies

My mother only bakes brownies only on special occasions, and they are

moist and rich, with a flaky external crust.

I'll only eat about 5-6 pieces though, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. But a cousin of mine can take care of a dozen of them in one sitting. He just needs about 15 minutes before downing another dozen more.

I hate to sound egotistical, but I make the best fucking brownies ever, they are sweet as hell and so chocolatey and FUDGEY, see brownies are ART, they have to be the right amount of fudgey, the right amount of moisture and the right amount of sweetness
They turn out cakey?
RUINED
They turn out dry?
RUINED
They taste of egg?
RUINED
...
This post turned out a bit weird...
Anyway come here and I shall make brownies, they aren't just cake THEY CAN'T BE CAKEY, they must be fudgey, and being dry? EUCH!

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Then again, I'm biased because EVERY brownie I've eaten is dry and reminds me of chalk.

Clearly you've never had proper brownies. They shouldn't be moist, exactly, but dry chalkiness is wrong. Get a decent brownie (ideally warm), and we shall bring you back on to the true path yet.

Freshly cooked brownies = quintuple orgasm in my mouth.
That is all.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Brownies are good.

Now Hash Brownies or "Space cakes"?...Whole other level. Follow up with M&Ms and you'll actually taste a rainbow.

 

[Feralbreed]

You can't say brownies OP, that's racist.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I love chocolate, but not chocolate cakes because they're so sickly. I know, very odd.
I can have very small brownies, but too much makes me sick.

 

[randomsix]

Brownies are better than cake because they are heavier, gooier, and chewier.

 

[Thespian]

I mean it's cake in rectangle form.

No! No, no, no! You sir, oh, how I pity you. You clearly have had a very frightfully difficult life in which misfortune plays with you like a frayed chew toy at every corner, for somehow, by some mathematical glitch in the universe, you have only ever come across those hideous, those blasphemous, those utterly atrocious aberration of all that is right in the world, those shoddily tossed together brownies with the cake-like consistency you described.

Brownies are not supposed to be anything even remotely similar to a cake. Their consistency is entirely different. They are certainly never meant to be crumbly. Brownies are moist, fudgey, dense, rich things that should by rights make you feel full to bursting after a single nibble.

I swear to god, if you were here right now I'd just go an make you a tray of my own brownies to restore your faith in what is quite possibly my favourite baked good.

As for me, anyway, as you may have guessed - Yay, if done right.

 

[tzimize]

Not a huge chocolate fan, but brownies beat cake any day.

Oh, and brownies right out of the oven = happiness in my mouth.

Agree. Brownies are fucking AWESOME. If they are dry, someones doing it wrong. Oh god I want brownies now.

 

[JochemDude]

I find it tasting so much better when you don't bake them the dough is so much more delicious then finished brownies.

 

[Redingold]

There's a girl in my class who, every Friday, brings in some sort of delicious cake, and her brownies are absolutely amazing. I've never had another that could compare to them.

 

[Knusper]

Fresh out of the oven and possibly served with some vanilla ice cream - absolute godliness.

 

[R4ptur3]

Brownies are amazing. They are even better when warm and served with ice cream. OM NOM NOM NOM

Though they suck ass with nuts in them. I mean seriously, why ruin a good thing with god damn nuts, they just fill holes in which more chocolate could be added.

 

[zeplon]

*Nomnomnomnomnomnomnom* Love me some brownies!

 

[LilithSlave]

Oh no, this isn't a My Little Pony thread.

Oh hey, I like brownies, though! But they would make me fat so I never eat them. Last time I ate them was around 3 or so years ago.

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

i loveeee brownies... nothing better than them fresh outta the oven... warm and chocolatey!

 

[BloatedGuppy]

I don't even like sweet stuff, and even I like brownies.

Brownies > OP.

 

[mental_looney]

Love them soft and gooey, hard and chewy nom nom

ohoh with ice cream when they are all warm.

Also used to be a brownie was pretty fun good while ago now though..
