My sister was a terrific baker & cookie maker, she would made me raw cookie dough pies from scratch... I relished in them when she would surprise with sugar, ginger snap, oatmeal raisin and butterscotch chip cookie dough pie variates... This was when I was 4 through 6 years old, then came the prepackaged cookie dough from the major brands, thus the death of my childhood indulgence... They no longer truly homemade; they were a gritty sugar with a awful raw flour taste and made with oils NOT butter, thus tasted greasy too... SOooo at the ripe old age of 7, raw cookie dough was exiled from my indulgence list, and onto my disgusting list, never to cross these lips to this day... 57 years ago... and not missed whatsoever.... Great snacking AZ & All and everyone have a TERRIFIC Memorial Day extended weekend... CHEERS & Happy Grilling.!!!

Oh, the irony of your answer to this question... Cookie dough is basically cookie sushi, AZ!

Bonus points: Cookie dough is a delicious version of the Play-Doh we all wanted to eat when we were kids!

Triple bonus points: It's harder to measure how many cookie doughs you've eaten, whereas a count of the cookies you've inhaled is a much clearer measure of shameful excess.

I've got this figured out, man.

I'm guessing you're also not a fan of cake batter frozen yogurt?

I know this will cause angst for some of you but I'll share anyway. :) I dont like chocolate. Yes I know, I am a weirdo! I dont hate it, I just dont ever crave it or seek it out. Give me a rhubarb crisp or a strawberry shortcake over chocolate cake ANY day!

Andrew....I'm with you on not liking raw cookie dough! My friends and cousins all love the stuff and I just don't get it! Where's the attraction in eating gritty, raw eggs, flour and sugar?? But each to their own....I'll stick with yummy freshly baked cookies!

Andrew... What happened to watching your shows on line? I had the Cheng Du episode of Bizarre foods bookmarked and it vaporized. Now I can't find it anywhere. What's up with that?
