I'd like to confess things. I think it would be a healthy thing to do but given certain sublimations, unfortunately I can't at this moment in time. :thumbdown:

Would sacrificing a goat help?

It's more to do with ill fitting ski boots and emotionally dispirited takeaways. But that's another story.

I got that Donald's shudder. When you know you shouldn't have had the Big Mac and the Angus burger. :(

Instead of burger and fries you should always eat two burgers, says nutritionist | The Independent

That may explain why I find poutine so unappetizing. :lol:

Where did you have your poutine, and was it worth it? That's my Achilles heel.

I'll cut out chocolate completely (again) and sweet stuff just as soon as I've finished this cake. So the sooner I finish the cake the sooner I can start not eating it. It's the only logical way

New York Fries poutine at the mall. My excuse for eating it is that it's the only gluten free choice in the food court. It's also very good and they have different sauces do you can have chips and butter chicken

I know that logic well!

How anyone from the UK can find poutine unappetising is beyond me. Chips - national dish. Gravy - essential element of national dish. Cheese - national obsession. Ok, technically it's cheese curds, but the chain poutine are all pretty much processed cheese of some description. A perfect combo for the British palate.

I once ate a 1kg bag of mini eggs in 2 days. It's a wonder I didn't turn diabetic or something.

I tried poutine for the first time last month - I'd avoided it like the plague for 15 years, the thought of it turned my stomach and to me it looked disgusting.

It was surprisingly tasty!

How is gravy an essential element of fish and chips? Who on earth puts gravy on fish?

I remember enjoying faggot peas and chips and a certain amount of gravy with the faggot. Curry sauce and chips too.
But chips and gravy? Just no. And no form of cheese with chips or gravy.

It's almost as bizarre as a hot chicken sandwich not involving hot chicken. :rofl:

Cheese curds at NYFries. ;)

I felt the same. It's good stuff.

Never had cheesy chips? Cheesy chips and salad? Meat pie and chips and gravy?

The curds just melt into the gravy making extra good gravy.

Try it sometime but avoid McDonalds poutine - it's a travesty.

I ate ten Cadbury's cream eggs in a row for a bet. I haven't had one since.

A coffee shop we used to frequent 40 years ago had a Chicken Denver sandwich on the menu and it was a standard toasted Denver; chopped ham, green onions, and eggs - not a shred of chicken in it. I think we even asked why and were told it is what it is. It was good and we ate it often, but no chicken in there at all.
