[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your guests were rude.  But I do also think it’s poor taste to serve boxed mix brownies to guests.  Brownies are quite possibly the easiest thing to bake from scratch and uses just one bowl. Or just serve fruit if you can’t bake. [/quote]

Rude and untrue. Most people LOVE boxed brownie mix.  Recently I was watching a clip of America’s Test Kitchen with the chef saying she just wasn’t getting the results she wanted and responses from the other tasters on her brownie recipe so she made a boxed mix and served it - all the other chefs/tasters raved about! It became the goal to make a homemade recipe that had the texture and flavor of the boxed mix!

I’m a grass fed dairy, mostly organic, chase my children with vegetables kind of mom and am delighted to bake (with my free range eggs and filtered water) or be served brownies from a mix. I have also made my fair share of home made ones. And spent substantial time in the UK. Just because the Brits aren’t familiar with something doesn’t mean it is dangerous or rude. When I lived there ages ago I offered my friends some frozen yogurt for dessert and they freaked out assuming it was unflavored plain yogurt just frozen.  :roll: [/quote]
