Pommes cuites = cooked apples

Earlier, I was listening to the "French women don't get fat" episode of the podcast Maintenance Phase [1], because, as we know, I hate myself [2].

From transcript at first link above:

Michael: just soggy apples with no butter sugar on them. It's just hot apples.

FUCK YOU HOBBES POMMES CUITES ARE DELICIOUS

I was so mad, I made myself one for dessert this evening. And then regretted it when I realised, while taking it out of the microwave, that a hot dessert in a heat wave was not my brightest idea. Still delicious! Just chopped up an apple and put it in the microwave for 7mn, no sugar, no butter(??????), no cinnamon [3] (????????) just OM NOM NOM

Yes, I am, to quote a friend, "emphatically and offensively" French, hahaha.

And I guess that brings us to strike 3 against this podcast (wrong about kidney donations, wrong about thermodynamics, wrong about apples -- and never providing corrections for any of it. also they are extremely and unpleasantly smug and Gordon's laugh is fucking annoying / petty), so I'm dropping it. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES


[1] I have complained before about them Being Wrong On The Internet due to not bothering to look at the Wikipedia page for the first law of thermodynamics.

[2] Sometimes (...often) I will deliberatey seek out content that I know will make me feel bad. Self-harm by internet, if you will.

[3] "Aubrey: Why would you not put just a fucking pinch of cinnamon in that apple tart?" because why would you? Like. You can, I guess, it's just never occurred to me before. And here I thought USAmericans being obessed with putting cinnamon on/in everything was a stereotype.
