Chocolate has NEVER lost it's appeal for me... that being said... some really spicy dishes have a diminishing return as you get accustomed to eating them

Re: What delicious food or drink best exemplifies the law of diminishing returns?

Chocolate cake. I once made a chocolate cake with my mother that required three different types of chocolate. It was pretty challenging to make, but it was the best ever chocolate cake I have ever tasted. Too bad you could only eat one slice in one sitting since it was so heavy, anything beyond that felt just wrong.

Re: What delicious food or drink best exemplifies the law of diminishing returns?

Pancakes, easily. I love pancakes, but my eyes are always too big for my stomach. In restaurants, I've learned to order half-size portions, and that's usually fine. I like dollar-size pancakes, too, as long as it isn't a mountain on the plate.

Egg nog is another big one. If I drink about a shot glass or two of egg nog, that's great. Anything more, and I get sick of it very, very quickly. I wouldn't know what to do with a half gallon of egg nog, other than throw most of it away.

Booze. You get all kinds of return up to a point, but when you pass that point the returns make you sleep on the bathroom floor.

Fresh orange juice.


1 glass = mmmm so refreshing

2 glasses = Hmmm I'm less refreshed but it's still not bad

3 glasses = Arrgh my stomach, I need to do a runny shit right now.

Flourless chocolate cake. Up to the size of a deck of cards, it's heaven. Any more, and your stomach curses the day your embryo latched onto the wall of the uterus.

surface area : volume

so much more surface available for browning and crisping on a waffle. (and IME, the best waffles aren't really made from the same batter a pancake would be)
