Is there a forum to ask Alison a question: I have an urgent question about a “secret ingredient “ I used in a brunch dish—and how I was roundly mocked when forced to reveal what it was!

This is the forum! What was it? (FWIW, I was mocked for this secret ingredient too, don’t worry)

The secret ingredient was (cringe) Bisquick. I made a zucchini cheese egg dish that everyone was raving about until I (under great pressure) fessed up!

From Wikipedia: “Bisquick is a pre-mixed baking mix sold by General Mills under its Betty Crocker brand, consisting of flour, shortening, salt, sugar and baking powder.” I mean, this ingredient list seems rather benign to me. Also, those who mock are using mockery as a shield against their own feelings of inadequacy. I say go forth with your bisquick and you’re under no obligation to tell anyone about it!

Tbh, I felt some shame about using Bisquick. It feels like it’s somehow cheating!
