    Waffle/sugar cones are just curled cookies. It is eccentric but not suspicious to eat one on its own.

    Wafer cones, though... anyone eating one of those on its own I would instantly assume to be a psychopath.

      Wafer cones are a Very Nice Texture though. Waffle cones have more complex flavor but they're often way too dry. On the other hand sometimes they are chocolate dipped

        Cardboard is a Very Nice Texture. I also do not eat my ice cream with it.

        The American culinary contribution is foods that are eaten for color and texture rather than flavor.

          I have autism so texture is either on equal footing with flavor, sometimes more important

          Cardboard's texture isn't that good for eating fwiw, even though you'd think the corrugated layers give it a satisfying cronch contrast, typically the cellulose fibers make it too tough to easily bite through or chew which ruins that effect

              Oh yeah I've snacked on the biodegradable ones that are made out of cellulose or sorghum or whatever, the cronch isn't as satisfying as you'd hope but the way they dissolve on your tongue is pretty fun

                  I used to eat so much weird (non-edible) shit as a kid that I'm basically a garbage sommelier :commiku:

      There are wafer cookies, though, but I guess they often have some sort of filling.
