Can we as a society agree that biscotti are basically inedible?

Nah, biscotti are great. Even without coffee. Man I want some biscotti now.
Just like OP.
Just like OP.
I can understand Campari being divisive, but Aperol is so...agreeable.
Also, let's replace all biscotti with Trader Joe's Dunkers. They're basically the same anyway but not poison.
These are just chocolate chip cookies in stick form, not the same in anyway.
OP
OP
You're absolutely correct. They aren't the same in anyway, these taste good.
OP I complete agree.
I find Italian cookies to be intolerable, or at least, they're just not good. Every Christmas I'm guaranteed to get a tin of italian cookies from my in-laws, and y'know, it's a nice gift, I like gifts, it's thoughtful, but these things are inedible and flavorless. Inevitably I stash them away in my lower cupboard and they sit there for weeks and months until, usually mid-March during March Madness, I come home raving drunk and in need of anything and those will do I don't even understand how they manage to fuck up like ... a cookie with chocolate on it so bad. They're always so dry, so starchy, taste like baking soda, and even things like fucking chocolate are flavorless and bland.
(FYI, I'm talking about mass market italian cookies you'd buy as a shitty gift at like... BJs Wholesale Club or something, I get it, I'm sure there's some good Italian cookies homemade and all)
Biscotti are right up there with like Depression-era sweets. Like, I get it, your grandmother in Torino, it was rough when Il Ducce and Hitler were running things in your country. There was no sugar, no butter, no milk, but plenty of baking soda and starch that her brother, Guiseppi, smuggled in from Switzerland through the alps. And, so, Biscotti carried her through the Il Fascismo and the Nazi Occupation, and she staved off the Partisans by bribing them with biscotti. But, c'mon nonna, it's 2019, the vendettas are over. Live a little.
FOr being the greatest generation, they sure made some awful food.
