NPR put chocolate chip cookies on the list. Cookies are essential now. Official.

I read the grocery price news. NPR choose five items and one is chocolate chip cookies. Beef, eggs, and cookies.

So now I can tell my mother: cookies are basic food, a big US news outlet said so. Not snack. Essential.

In Vietnam we would choose rice, pork, fish sauce, maybe instant noodles. What would be the five items in your country?
