Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore

 

There's nothing unhealthy about an egg on a hamburger patty, depending on the quality of the ingredients. The link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease tends to be over-simplified and exagerated by the media. The most unhealthful thing on the plate is that white bread bun.

 

Of course, someone who doesn't exercise regularly should be having only about 3-4 ounces of beef with that egg.

Fight the good fight! :)

 

I've mostly given up trying to convince people that their food stereotypes are, well, stereotypes. If it makes them feel better to think of eggs and beef as being bad for you it isn't really any skin of my nose. I generally eat red meat at least once a day. I'll also go through somewhere between 3 and 8 eggs during a week, along with bacon and/or sausage on the weekends. My serum cholesterol is just fine, my BP is good, my heartrate is good, and I feel generally happy and energetic. Granted I'm overweight, but that has more to do with a mismatch of portions vs. exercise than anything else.

Just for the record I would so do Paula Dean.........what??

 

But only if smothered in onions.

 

Personally, I'm more of a Nigella Lawson fan.

If I ever visit London, my dream is to hit this restaurant: St. John

 

I've got the cookbook that came out a few years ago from Henderson. Unfortunately, the husband is not a fan of innards...

Back closer to the main thrust of the thread, I eat regularly at several places which have it on the menu, but I myself will never, ever, order the pork bung.

Sadly, the original, pre-chain Red Robin, at the south end of the University Bridge here in Seattle, closed earlier this year.

Oh man, that pancake/sausage thingie reminds me of most agregious and oft repeated transgression of my youth... the Chocolate Chip pancakes at iHop, smothered in maple syrup. It's a wonder I'm not horribly diabetic.
