wow...most of those actually made me want to vomit. I think i'm slowly getting adversion to fatty fried foods and looking at that stuff made me grossed out.
though these recipes are clearly excessive, this calorie counting thing has really shocked me over the last 2 months. though i am a big girl, i do not tend to eat much more than most of those around me (unless on a binge) so i never realized how many calories those around me and myself would eat on a normal day. pre life plan, i would feel disdain for dieters who were so snobby about what other people are eating, but now i realize that most people are naively eating 2 or 3 times their recommended calories each day and that is freaky. i watch friends of all sizes pile the food on their plates at our weekly dinner party and think, wow! that is my daily calorie allowance being consumed in one sitting.
I can't belive Poutine isn't on the list. Or the "horseshoe" sandwhich.
Poutine is canadian (Quebec, I think) a huge plate of french fries, cheese curd, and gravy (and sometimes other additions like the famous canadian chef who adds foie gras).
The Horse shoe is a sandwhich of some type (varies from area to area, a hamburger, or hot beef or ham and cheese, sometimes on grilled bread) on top of a bed of french fries and then covered with cheese sauce and sometimes gravy, reputed to have been created in Washington D.C. (though I've only encountered it on menus in the Midwest).
I haven't tried either, and not planning to (It's sacreligious in the midwest, but I'm not a big fan of gravy, even on mashed potatoes or meat).
I won't lie there were a few things that looked yummy to me.
That garbage plate reminds me of "carne asada fries." If anyone has been to San diego or lives near there you know what I'm talking about!
French fries, grilled steak slices on top, then covered in cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa- mmmm it's so good but so bad for you! It reminds me of the garbage plate that's about the size of it.
Who puts a whole corndog on a pizza lol- I mean come on now- slice it up at least! lol.
I ain't ashamed to admit that some of those pictures looked good. Obviously the portions were too big...but most of them I wouldn't walk away from..smaller portions of course
The bad part is that someone sent this to me first thing in the morning..so of course I started the day hungry...curses!
Remember..everything in moderation...even a fried twinky..split it with someone..same for the deep fried candy bar...Oh Boy..........never mind.......................................

This is why you are fat
