Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 One good friend doesn't care much for chocolate, but she'll eat the ENTIRE outside 1/2 " edge of a pan of brownies if I make them for her husband (he fixes my computer!) -- no more than 1/2 " though, she doesn't care about the soft part. I do try hard NOT to burn them -- but I think she would eat the edges even if I did burn them. Audrey S. On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 6:39 PM, <thelilacflower wrote: > > > I have a funny Eskimo friend.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi, I don't want to get myself in trouble for posting this but I do want people to be aware that there may be a chance (possibly small, possibly inconclusive) that eating burnt food is not a good thing. I have read on the web various sites which indicate that there is some possibility that burnt food can increase the likelihood of cancer. As far as I can tell, studies on this, particularly with respect to vegetarian foods, are inconclusive. Nevertheless, I thought I would pass on the information that it is under study. It really seems that it applies to food that have been grilled or in some way cooked in a smoky environment. Of course, if you burn it and it smokes . . . . ;<) http://www.mcld.co.uk/blog/blog.php?95 http://answers./question/index?qid=20061008112055AAQPtCF This page says, browned, toasted or burnt: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_eating_burnt_food_cause_cancer This seems to indicate that it applies more to meat products. http://www.personalconsult.com/articles/eatburnedfoods.html Then there's this page: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22867394-5006007,00.html <http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22867394-5006007,00.html> " Scientists have now issued a worldwide alert advising people to avoid burnt toast or golden brown chips because they contain higher levels of the substance, acrylamide. The study, which involved 62,000 women, has established a direct link between consumption of the chemical and the incidence of ovarian and womb cancer. Acrylamide is found in cooked foods such as bread, breakfast cereals, coffee and also meat and potatoes which have been fried, baked, roasted, grilled or barbecued.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've heard that, too -- always heard it in conjunction with burnt hot dogs (the meat kind), though. Good to be aware of, though.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 RE: Loving. Burnt Food Oh yeah! So do I and so does my DH--even more than I do! He LOVES " burned " cookies. We fight over the edges of a casserole (especially if it's mac & cheese, any kind of potatoes, and ESPECIALLY cheesy/tomato-y lasagna! LOOVVE that burned-crunchy browned cheese stuff around the edges--best obtained by baking in a GLASS baking dish!!! When it comes to home-made cakes, I, who am NOT particularly a " cake " person, love the " cake crust " that sticks to the bottom of the pan. I also love (but do not make it myself) the crust that can be scraped out of an angelfood cake pan when one bakes an angelfood cake! YUMMMM! There is also a pudding-y dessert that is made in layers with some kind of cookie-like nut-infused, buttery (like shortbread with pecans or walnuts in it) crust on the bottom, then layers of sweetened cream cheese, then a pudding layer of some kind, then whipped cream (some use non-dairy topping--I hate it!) on the top. I LOVE the bottom layer! Like Pecan Sandies cookies or Mexican Wedding Cakes without the powdered sugar! SCRAPE that bottom!!! Just thinking about it makes me drool! --LOL! Good wishes--happy weekend! --Laura B., in Illinois I have a funny Eskimo friend. When she comes down to visit I have to make burnt cookies and also scoop the left over crumbs from cornbread, brownies, cakes and pies for her. She love a plate of nothing but crumbs. She also eats the crunchy burned bits of rice from the rice cooker and the burnt crispy edges of casseroles. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
