I agree with everything here, except cake. You can make so many different types of cake, so it's hard to bundle them all into one. Store bought cakes are pretty shit though, all the good bakeries went into such a mass produced cycle while having the balls to call their cakes, "Home-Made" or Fresh Baked, when it was just pulled off a delivery truck.... Fondant is disgusting too, stop being lazy when decorating your cakes. Eating with your eyes is for critics, not true foodies.
And can I add the Beatles? They are okay, but all the things people say to claim they are *objectively* great, is basically a way to ignore all the black influences they had or just jump on the 60s teenybopper nostalgia, just a small upgrade over being a Monkees fanatic.
