you only get one. which is it?

This is a question I pose annually to my students (and is tangentially related): If you could only eat foods starting with one letter of the alphabet, what letter would it be?

I always pick C because I get crackers, chips, cookies AND coffee, cream, champagne, carrots, chocolate, and chicken . . .

(P is one runner up: pizza, potatoes, prosecco, pancakes, peanut butter, . . . as is S: seafood, sushi, salad, etc.)

A: apizza and alcohol alone is reason enough; but you also get apples, avocado, aubergine (eggplant), arborio rice, arugula, almonds, artichokes, apricots, asparagus, ahi tuna, albacore, adzuki beans, agave, Assam tea and affogato.

While I guess this applies to every cookie, an oatmeal raisin really has to be done right. I can handle crunchy or chewy but the flavor balance and balance to oat, raisin and mixture has to be spot on. things like peanut butter cookies or chocolate chip have a lot more room for variation and still be good.

I'll enjoy a Pecan Sandy every once in a while, but for me a really good cookie has to be chewy. Nothing beats a warm chewy peanut butter cookie.

Nah, an Irish-Italian American omnivore. Just couldn’t think of a meat that began with A. I figure I’ll get my meat on the apizza.
