One more bacon dish (hate to admit it but I made this once - even though I doubt my cholesterol levels have returned to normal yet it was really good)

There is only one rival to Canadian bacon, and that's Danish bacon. It's vvvery good.

Before I went veggie, I had actual "rashers" in the UK on a trip there.  They'd be right up there with Canadian bacon(btw, I didn't know you guys called it that in Canada).

I'm impressed that someone was actually able to make it. = P

You could probably actually make a tasty version of that spaghetti stuck in weiners thing if you were to use chunks of yummy Italian sausage, whole wheat spaghetti, etc.  It would still look weird and wonderful, but at least it would taste better.

We need a moderator over here ... Michelle is offering a tasty option in the gross foods thread.

ETA: Ii agree, Brachina ... Whole wheat pasta -eew.  The only thing worse is brown rice pasta.  Bleeck.

Sorry, folks.  I started eating whole wheat pasta on one of my millions of attempts at dieting, but then found I actually liked it!

But since no one else does, then technically I'm on topic, and your complaint to the moderators about me posting off-topic will go nowhere!  Nowhere!  Mwa ha ha!

Could you take on the biggest full English breakfast in the world?

The giant fry-up includes ten sausages, ten eggs, ten rashers of bacon, five black puddings, and piles of beans, mushrooms and tomatoes.

And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint. Bon appetit.

I tend not to like pasta in general, whole wheat or otherwise. I just can't stand the sauce, and have since I was a little kid. But I think I'm in the minority on that. Embarassed

I sometimes have cravings for pasta. Spaghetti for breakfast even. I love anything with tomatoes and lots of garlic. 

And a wafer-thin mint.

"Pink slime," the mixture of connective tissue and beef scraps also known as "Lean Beef Trimmings," made news last month when McDonald's announced it would no longer use the controversial product. However, a report March 5 shows that the U.S. Department of Agriculture thinks it is still a suitable product for the nation's children, as it is going to purchase millions of pounds of the product for the national school lunch program.

It look like meat-flavored "soft-serve".

The weirdest part of that is...if they just listed it as "pink slime" on the school lunch menus, a lot of kids would LOVE to eat that stuff.

Just saw an advertisement on CNN for "Flat Jacks" - chicken that has been pressed flat and breaded in order to fit in your kitchen toaster. Only in America, thank God.

Do you mean PIECES of chicken...or are they taking whole Rhode Island Reds and running a steamroller over them?

Pizza Hut hot dog stuffed crust pizza:

 

 

Pizza Hut restaurants in the U.K. will now offer a "Hot Dog Stuffed Crust" pizza with a mustard drizzle. Sorry America, you won't see it on this side of the Atlantic any time soon.

"The Hot Dog Stuffed Crust pizza is only available in the UK and there are no plans to introduce this product in the U.S.," Lisa Beachy, a spokesperson for Pizza Hut, told HealthPop in an email.

ABC News reports that a slice of plain stuffed crust pizza contains about 265 calories with 11.6 grams of fat and a hot dog contains about 170 calories and 15 grams of fat, although an official calorie count for the pizza was not listed.

1. That ad should have a NSFW tag on it.

2. That's the first time I've ever seen the words "succulent" and "hot dog" in the same sentence.

You know, pared with the mustard drizzle, I gotta say that looks yum.  But how do they package wieners that resemble hula hoops?

I can't eat hot dogs except on the rare occasion and only if the weiners are  boiled and the oily fat drained off. However, I can eat weiners cooked in water and then added to beans to make beans'n weiners, especially if they're beans with maple syrup added. But, generally, the smell of weiners - and the taste of all that spiced fat - makes them difficult for me to swallow.

Speaking of beans from a can, occasionally here in Quebec - especially at Mike's restaurant chain - you can order breakfast (toast, eggs, bacon or ham, hash browns and coffee) with beans. Is this done anywhere else?  (that's a meal, by the way, that should hold you until a late supper)

ETA: whenever I cook beans from a can, I always add a couple of spoonfuls of pure Quebec maple syrup. Smile

One of these is probably enough food for one person for an entire day:
