I found myself at a buffet the other day. I don't frequent buffets, but dinner happened to be at this one, so it was what it was. Let me tell you, buffets are not a vegan or gluten-free friendly zone. It's more like a flambéd / char-grilled haven.
Still, I found myself a nice salad, some Asian seaweed salad, curried rice noodles, and freshly cut fruit. Yum. I wasn't sated but I was at least comfortable enough until I could eat a few hours later.
And that was when I saw them: The Oreo Cookies. They sat in the dessert line alongside the ice cream dispenser. They were crumbled in a white bowl behind glass, a large white spoon resting eagerly against the bowl just waiting to dive into the cup of chocolate. Aaah. Heaven. A chocolate lover's dream.
It's official. The Oreo is my favorite cookie. I might be decidedly vegan and dietarily gluten-free, but when an Oreo makes a cameo, you better believe all bets are off. That Oreo is mine. Step aside veganism, I'm sorry stomach now full of gluten, but the Oreo wins. Simple as that. It might be milk's favorite cookie, but it's my favorite indulgence.
