The things don't really cook, they melt.
They are one of the many things that people love but if you tell them it's in their meal, they object to it even if they were just making yummy noises (that's a Young Frankenstein ref).
I cooked for thousands of people, and truth be told, food allergies aside, if someone says "I don't like X" but "X" is in something that tastes amazing, add X anyway. I've never had someone say "I told you I don't like onions, but I think there are onions in this!".
It's the same philosophy in business that as soon as you open your mouth you are open to skepticism. Don't tell 'em "This is a bone marrow based gravy with onions", just let the proof be in the pudding...er gravy.
"Online Luke" runs his mouth a lot, because it's a release of stress. "Business Luke" does what he is told, has a coke and a smile and shuts up (that is until I have proven by numbers I know what to do. Then I tell my boss what I need to be doing).

Got off the track there.
