Best Bets
When I was growing up, a staple of all family vacations, trips, and get-togethers was a food-based forced choice game that began "If you could only have one ____." The rules were pretty simple: you had to pick the one food from that category that you would eat for the rest of time. We played so often that I forget what most of my choices were, except that for several years I answered "if you could only have one beverage" with "diet coke" for many years.
I think the fun of the game comes from thinking about eating all of the options, but ultimately only getting to pick one. Some choices were more pragmatic (a baby me posited that "you can make anything out of potatoes..."), while others were more obsession based (if I could only have one dessert, it was "Cadbury Cream Eggs"). There weren't many categories I wasn't sure my answer was the right one.
Now I'm older and gluten-free, but still so confident in my opinion. And when you're gluten-free and looking for a good cookie, I feel it's my duty to report what your one cookie should be.
