Baking is, after all, just chemistry. But I've thought about the typical American palate and sweet is certainly part of it -- salty is another major component. I think too many people, especially the young, are far too accustomed to washing down salty snacks with crap like Mountain Dew. And the processed foods that are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars make no sense. Americans' taste buds are simply being denuded.

Yeah, I find that even with current recipes the sugar can be cut down by quite a large margin. It's really crazy how much sugar some folks get used to consuming but to somebody who tries to watch their intake the same dishes come off as super, sickly, sweet. I can cut it way back and it is still plenty sweet. Now I'm craving sweets! darn ;) Even better to see YOU, Missy!
