The Hot Fudge Sundae
In front of me on the table sat a beautiful pure white bowl, simplistic in design, hiding a decadent surprise inside. In the bowl was hidden something that was not so pure, however, the irresistible indulgence was worth every calorie that I knew it contained. As I looked inside I saw on the bottom of the bowl a hot, tender brownie loaded with macadamia nuts. I knew from past experience that the nuts had a creamy and smooth texture, almost like white chocolate. On top of the brownie were two firmly packed scoops of ice cream, laying side by side, each one a different flavor. The scoop on the right was a rich vanilla, flecked with dark specks of vanilla bean. The scoop on the left was a dark, smooth, bittersweet chocolate. The scoops were just starting to melt tiny rivers of melted cream down the sides of the hot brownie, pooling on the bottom of the pure white bowl. These scoops of ice cream were draped with a sumptuous, rich, hot fudge sauce. Topping the luscious sauce was an ample dollop of whipped cream that was in perfect contrast to the dense, almost too rich dessert below. The whipped cream was topped with a shower of chocolate sprinkles and finely chopped walnuts. What finally completed this wonderful creation was a perfect maraschino cherry, its red juice sending tiny streams down the whole mountain of dessert delight. The contrast of colors, textures and flavors in this dessert appealed to every part of my senses. I could not wait to eat it.

    The scrumptious chicken nuggets are very lively; they have an acute, piquant, zesty, and garnished flavor. Also, the pleasurable chicken nuggets are very distinctive; they are very moist, but at the same time they have a certain brininess and infused flavor that makes them stand out. When the chicken nuggets are being devoured, one can feel the ridges of the nuggets pleasantly rubbing across his tongue, which causes a tsunami of flavours to be released. The most exquisite dessert to sum up the meal most completely, is the chocolate milkshake.…

    Western peoples consume enormous per capita quantities of refined sugar because, to most people, very sweet foods taste very good. The existence of the human sweet tooth can be explained, ultimately, as an adaptation of ancestral populations to favor the ripest-and hence the sweetest-fruit. In other words, the selective pressures of times past are most strikingly revealed by the artificial, supernormal stimulus of refined sugar, despite the evidence that eating refined sugar is maladaptive.…

    Peanut Butter sat on the counter, risking hopelessly desperate glances in my direction. “How… could you do this to me?” she started, “after all we’ve been through?” My mind flashed back to all of those precious moments I’d spent whispering my deepest desires to her, both of us sprawled across the silk sheets, elegantly draped over my mattress. “I want you now, in my mouth… on toast, in a smoothie, heck, even out of a tablespoon,” she loved being eaten out of a tablespoon. “I just need you. You’ve seen how much of a wreck I am without you: deficient in healthy fats and protein. We can’t let that happen again.”…

    The nutrition industry of The United States of America would be incomplete without the numerous, spontaneous, discoveries over time. A man in San Francisco accidently left his juice outside in the winter and it froze. He ate the frozen juice and came up with popsicles. America’s favorite chocolate chip cookies were also a mistake. When the Toll House Inn's Ruth Wakefield ran out of baking chocolate one day in 1930, she smashed up a bar of semi-sweet chocolate and added the pieces to her dough. Upon their removal from the oven, the cookies weren't uniformly infused with melted chocolate, but rather studded with little chunks throughout. The signature sweet put her Whitman, Massachusetts inn on the culinary map. These accidental discoveries are what made the food…
