Rumpel's working across a language barrier, and just wants to talk about cookies.
You are quite right!

But I am also aware that this topic may have political or even racial undertones - while the cookies are completely innocent. :)

As a racial metaphor​


In the 1994 Seinfeld episode "The Dinner Party", Jerry eats a black-and-white cookie while waiting in a New York City bakery with Elaine. He uses the cookie as a metaphor for racial harmony, saying the chocolate and vanilla represent black and white people living together. If the colors mix together well on a cookie, Jerry argues, so can different races in society, suggesting the answer to poor race relations is to "Look to the cookie!"[17] While campaigning in the 2008 United States presidential election at a deli in Hollywood, Florida, Barack Obama bought two black-and-white cookies and said about them, "it's a unity cookie."[18][19] In a 2015 op-ed in Tablet magazine, African-American Rabbi Shais Rishon argued that the cookie, with its cleanly separated black and white sides, better represented racial segregation.
 
What I mean are these:




In Germany we call those "Amerikaner" = Amerivans.

I don't know why...despite the listing, Black & Whites...or Amerikaners as you call them, are not all that popular.
They have a loyal following, to be sure, and I've tried them myself and thought they were okay, but if ever there was a cookie that deserves the name "Amerikaner" it would
be the Toll House cookie.
 
Yes, I like to eat Americans but only the female ones and they must be fresh.
Female Amerikaner should be known as "Amerikanerinnen" in Germany.
I think I must tell those politically super-correct Germans that!

And Hamburger should become "Hamburger & Hamburgerinnen & Trans-Hamburger*innen & non-binäre Hamburger/innen!"
 
Total voters now:

"Do you like to eat Americans?"
Just one, and she likes to return the favor.
I used to eat lots of them...but I settled on the American I adored the most.

Seriously, they are not called "Americans" except maybe in your neck of the woods. 🤣

Is the cookie vanilla or chocolate? I've never had one.
It's a vanilla cake cookie with black and white icing. It's an NYC thing. Ive never seen them outside the Tri-state area.
 
I thought this was about "eating Americans." Gosh
