Sorry, but I couldn't even get started . Don't eat at any of those restaurant types - cheaper and healthier to eat at home. Haven't had take out either in at least 20 years. Not being a snob here, just concerned about the amount of fat, grease, MSG etc that goes into that food.

Refusing to eat at the trough, is definately not being a snob, randyreese.

Your body will thank you forever, for your refusal to indulge. Stop and look at what you see when crowd pictures are shown, in the Land of the Free.

No slur here, folks, should an awareness of where such foods are taking us. We have the same problem up North.

back to topic.... I also have no idea about the locations involved.

Sorry to say it, but these are all obviously American food outlets.

I can tell you that after taking a trip to a shop here that imports food from the U.S. that you just can't get here, it's clearly to our benefit. I've never had such a shocking array of crap.

One word -- vegemite.

Cheddar Bay Buscuits are awesome!

 

[Tongue_Me]

I dread to think what size I would be now if my parents decided to stay in the states reading that list!

 

[Lube]

Gawd....

I of course have no idea, but it all sounds so revolting.

Reading the ingredients was like reading a horror novel.

Perhaps you could give us a clue to the nature of the venues by telling us how much sugar is piled into each dish. (Or, in the American case, High Fructose corn Syrup - you people should find out what that goop is before you actually eat it).

Some Americans agree with you 100%.

I was reading an organic cookbook once that had quizzes sprinkled throughout it. One series of quizzes was a list of ingredients, and you were supposed to guess what the product was (hmmm... there's an idea for a thread!). It was impossible to tell what half the "foods" were supposed to be. You would not believe the crap that's in "food" today.

I wasn't feeling well over the weekend (hence my 24x7 participation here) and was tempted to save time & energy by going out for food. But luckily was hit by a food epiphany (luckily that didn't hurt ) and just made rice with butter, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and fresh ground pepper. It's an idea from one of Viana La Place's cookbooks, where she talks about the Italians "eating white" when they're not feeling well.

Buy, uh, yeah, about that vegemite crap....

OK, back on topic...

I have no idea what any of those are, praise the Lord!

 

[ladygrey]

Ummmm

clearly Denny's for the grandslam

and the "Keg" for the blooming onion

but no clue with the others

 

[Soilwork]

Just reading that list made my cholesterol jump to points.

Wow, no wonder Americans are so fat.

 

[Swellegant]

One and eight are immediately recognizeable as coming from Denny's; and they are not horrible! (though personally I prefer the French Slam) One of the things I've always loved about Denny's is that you can walk into one anywhere in the US and get the exact same quality and preparation of food as every other one. The sameness is very comforting. And they're always open!

I've never heard of the others. Well, I've heard of the Bloomin' Onion, but I couldn't remember what restaurant serves them.

Now I shall read everyone else's responses to see what I missed.

... and of course you're all entirely right. But I think of it as a new phase in evolution. Those of us whose bodies can process such frightful dreck will survive the millenia. Denny's diners and cockroaches, we'll be all that's left, gnawing on an endless sea of high-fructose corn syrup and salt.

 

[Joshua_me]

Yeah, me too...

But I had to pay some male escort 50 extra bucks in Vegas for one.

(Talk about your extra sausage, though....)

OK, that was horrible, but I'm surprised and mildly happy that you guys even
bothered to respond to this thread.

One caviat, though. The 'Shrimpy Mary' isn't really a 'food', but an 'Adult
beverage'.

To Wit: A Bloody Mary with three little shrimp on the toothpick end of a
paper umbrella floating in the middle of it. (Red Lobster)

As you can tell, I'm quite the worldly traveler.

Pass the Easy Pizza Cheesies,

Joshy

I chalk that up to high fructose corn syrup being ubiquitous in the American/Western food product diet.

Those blooming onion things are supposed to be Australian, but no one has ever heard of them here!
