I really think so. I really think that they're that silly.

And to be honest, I think I can understand the impulse, because I do think that beautiful coconut cake is something I could eat with my eyes all day long. And I'd probably even enjoy the taste of it, because I do like the taste of coconut, and quite enjoy it in coconut milk or dishes where the coconut is very, very finely minced.

But I just cannot handle the feel of it when it's all beautifully shaggy like that.

And I can't expect that this will change about my palate just because Paula Deen's coconut cake is so damned beautiful.

And even more than that, I can't bring myself to say that Paula Deen is a lousy cook because she made a perfect cake, but one that I just somehow can't manage to eat.

THAT'S what pisses me off--that there is something somehow wrong with the dish, deserving of only one or two stars, because the chef had the temerity to cook with an ingredient that they don't like.
