I need a ruling on this

Is banana bread dessert?

Is banana bread dessert?

Yes

[faftorial]

Same with pumpkin and zucchini bread.

Is banana bread dessert?

What else would you consider it?

[Kaiser]

Banana bread is breakfast food

[faftorial]

Banana bread is breakfast food

So is a danish and that basically dessert.

[count2infinity]

Any sweet breakfast food is pretty much dessert.

And yes, banana bread is more cake/muffin than bread. Definitely more desserty than any other category.

Banana bread is breakfast food

My mom always had this for breakfast.

[tifosi77]

Banana bread is basically cake anyway.

[Shyster]

I would say no. I agree that banana bread is akin to a muffin, but I don't consider muffins to be dessert. I've never gone to a restaurant and seen a blueberry muffin on the dessert menu next to the chocolate cake and the crème brûlée, for example. Muffins are more of a breakfast / brunch / snack food.

[MWB]

Yeah I don’t understand the alignment of muffins to dessert. I’ve always considered muffins to be breakfast food.

[genoscoif]

It's the ingredients, not the delivery method.

Banana bread is more of a breakfast food IMO, but pumpkin bread would be more dessert. Most muffins are breakfast food, but chocolate muffins would be more of a dessert. Cake is definitely a dessert food, but then you have something like a cinnamon coffee crumb cake, which is a breakfast food. Most pastries would be desserts, but a cinnamon roll is, well, just about a perfect breakfast food...especially with coffee.

Hell, a burrito is a dinner item most of the time, but throw bacon, sausage, eggs, and cheese in that little flour blanket and you got yourself a great breakfast.

I would need to know what all the categories are before classifying it.

[dodint]

Banana bread is a chaotic neutral.

Popcorn: what is the preferred outcome: leave it in for long enough that all kernels get popped but some are burnt? Or leave it in so that all are perfectly popped no burn but left with a bunch of wasted unpopped kernels

@litt can’t opine because his microwave is gone and he just has a hole in the wall

[MR25]

I put mine in, set a timer for 2:30, and usually stop it with like 10-15 seconds left depending on the time between pops (I give it like 5 seconds or so). Gets most of the bag right on the edge of burning with only a few actual burnt pieces.

You might be wondering why I don't just set it for 2:15, and the answer is because every bag is different IMO.

[Beveridge]

No burnt pieces and not many kernels left. There is a magic sweet spot and it's so hard to achieve.

Burnt popcorn sucks.

This is the correct method. Once the time between pops hits the optimal threshold, you cancel the operation. 5 seconds is about the right time

Microwave popcorn is for savages.

Air poppers are far superior.

Do they still make stove top popcorn? Jiffy Pop I think?

Yeah, I had some a few years ago. You need a gas stove.

[Shyster]

I microwave until the pops slow down but before burning sets in. After I eat what popped, I put the remaining unpopped kernels back into the microwave and nuke them again to see if they'll pop. Most do.

I bought a collapsible silicone microwave popper thingy that works quite well. It's one of these:

Stove top in a pot with oil, as Allah intended. Dark but not burned. Half-popped kernels are one of my favorite things in the world.

That's the way my friend from Altoona would make his.

He was adamant that it never needed to be cleaned.

[Nuge]

We bought a popcorn machine for a party a few years ago. I’ll never make it any other way again.
