Talk:Chocolate brownie

message: I LOVE BROWNIES!
The page said:
: may contain nuts, chips (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, etc.), or cannabis. 
I removed "or cannabis", because this is an atypical ingredient.  There is already  a whole page about pot brownies, which this page references; I think that that is sufficient coverage of pot brownies.

thread_title:  Pot brownies 

message: I restored the "see also" section. I agree that pot is an atypical ingredient, but the page should contain a link to the Alice B. Toklas brownie article.
Alcohol can be an ingredient in almost anything, but if you are at a party and wish to avoid inadvertently consuming alcohol, you ask about the punch. Similarly, cannabis can be an ingredient in almost anything, but if you are at a party and you wish to avoid consuming cannabis, you ask about the brownies.

thread_title:  There should be some mention of cannabis 

message: You know it's Wikipedia when people bring up obscure, perverse junk like "pot brownies" but no mention is made of the much more common frosted brownie. This would also play into the cookie vs. cake argument - frosting is very common on a cake, but rare on a cookie. Frosted brownies seemed to be very common 30 or 40 years ago, but today one seldom sees them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.92.159 (talk) 23:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

message: That story sounds apocryphal to me.  To many famous names and places without citing a source.  At any rate it contradicts the Sears Roebuck story earlier in the article.  Fishal 04:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I added the citation to the Sears Roebuck comment and added "Folklore has is..." with a reference the reference is . but it didn't seem to work properly. Please help if I did something wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GingerGin (talk • contribs) 18:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Let's take a poll! I know this sounds weird, but some of the best brownies I've ever had are just from the bakery section of the grocery store. For anyone in Texas, HEB's bakery section has the best brownies I've tasted for only 79cents each! GingerGin 05:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: best brownie in the world

message: Sorry it's not really about the actual article, but i thought i'd ask, anyone actually made white chocolate brownies? I've tried using a Nigella recipe but they really didn't work... It may have been the fact there was quite a lot of egg, but they were really gooey even after cooking them for a lot longer, and they'd started to go cakey at the sides, but remaining pretty much liquid in the middle.
Does anyone have/know of any good recipes? I'd really like to make these properly, so thought i might just ask you guys... Mz.Kiedis 16:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not familiar with this recipe, but it if they were too gooey in the middle, it might have been that you were using the wrong sized cake tin/baking tray.  If the mixture spreads more than an inch deep, it'll go cakey round the edges but never cook in the middle.  Failing that, just take a look at Ms Lawson's arse - it didn't get that shape by eating lighter-than-air fluffy brownies did it?  Maybe hers are just meant to be a bit on the gooey side.  Just a thought.  Traveller palm (talk) 15:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  White choc Brownies 

message: In the introduction to the article it says that a chocolate brownie is also known as a "Bangor brownie or Boston brownie." I've never heard of these terms. Are they frequently used? They seem to be unnecessary additions and I think they make the opening sentence more awkward than it needs to be. --Jcbutler (talk) 19:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Removed this section:
:According to the 1979 Betty Crocker's Baking Classics cookbook, brownies were accidentally invented by Maine home economist, Mildred Schrumpf when she served a chocolate cake that had collapsed in the oven.The Perfect Desert Retrieved September 23, 2008.
1. Schrumpf wasn't born till 1903. 2. She didn't claim to have invented the brownie; she claimed it was invented by Maine housewives, but her documentation is from 1912. See http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodfaq.html 75.57.112.176 (talk) 05:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mildred Schrumpf

message: I understand that this article is named "chocolate brownie" to distinguish the food from other uses of brownie, but shouldn't it be "Brownie (baked goods)" or something like that? Nobody actually calls it a "chocolate brownie." In a food context, brownie means chocolate.
Also, what's with the cooking instructions? Plug for America's Test Kitchen? Since when is Wikipedia a cookbook? 75.57.112.176 (talk) 06:27, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[:File:Chocolatebrownie.JPG]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: The article lists the Chicago origin story as a "legend," but that's sufficient to categorize it as cuisine of Chicago.  Elsewhere in the article is a reference to Bangor, Maine as "apocryphal," but brownies are neither categorized as part of Bangor, nor associated with a related WikiProject. I'm trying to understand why a "legend" is considered a more reliable source than an "apocryphal" one.--~TPW 17:12, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chicago? 

message: Websters does not state that brownies are a cross between a cake and a soft cookie, so I removed both the claim and the reference. I also restored language about classifying brownies as either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density. I think this is an important issue about brownies. ;) Jcbutler (talk) 18:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
