Overcooked versus Undercooked Food

Posted on | June 26, 2008

So there was this discussion about brownies going on, after having just baked a delightful batch of not quite chocolatey enough brownies. See, undercooked brownies are always superior to any other sort of brownies, as it is the only real way to guarantee that the brownies will be appropriately squishy. It’s not that no-gooey brownies are necessarily bad, you see, it’s simply a fact that gooey brownies are so overwhelmingly delicious that it’s practically a crime to purposely create non-gooey brownies.

But anyhow. If given a choice between ‘underdone’ and ‘overdone’, there’s a range of food that fall into each category in terms of maximum deliciousness:

Underdone
-Cookies (for similar reasons as brownies)
-Steak (not raw, mind you, but a little blood is quite endearing)
-Tuna (mm..seared tuna)
-Many types of seafood that are delicious raw, in fact

Overdone
-Marshmallows
-Hot Dogs (specifically campfire hot dogs, this also applies to the marshmallows. There’s just something about food charred in a fire that screams ‘delicious’)
-Pasta
-Rice
-Chicken (well, much of this is for health reasons, actually)

Hmm, can’t think of any more. Dang! Anyhow, these are the actual brownies that got made and eaten. Quite tasty!
