Unhealthy For You, But Soooooo Tasty...

[Tucker943]

I ate a Monte cristo ONCE. Then I considered cutting my guts out with a chainsaw. It was too heavy.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Too heavy... like too rich... I've never understood how that's a bad thing...

 

[Tucker943]

So much oil in the thick crust. It felt like I drank fryer oil. Add syrup to that and powdered sugar and melted cheese.

WHy I used to grill them in the egg batter instead of deap fry. Too much grease/oil stays in it for my taste. Try making 400 in a sitting

I was a messcook on the Enterprise... tell me about it!

5500 hungry sailors, 23 hours a day.

Figured you would post a picture of your breakfast!

Scrambled eggs and toast only looks so good!

That's a bit fancier than mine! Getting about ready to go to fried ones for a while again. I eat 3 eggs every morning, occasionally 4. I can tell they give me a boost of energy.

Please tell me you DON'T eat the yolks.

My pic is all egg whites, I toss the yolks. I allow myself 4 yolks a week, all in one meal, sunny side up.

 

[treesmith]

Uh, yep, yolks and all. With raw goat milk. And real butter. Sorry, I likes it. Why do you say not to eat the yolks? Is the yolk not where most of its nutritional value is?

I used to get Monte Christo sammiches, not in a long time though. around here they were always with egg, not really batter and not deep fried. FWIW I called them Monte Carlo just to hear the waitress correct me, everytime. lol

 

[MasterBlaster]

All of the fat and cholesterol is in the yolk. The bad stuff...

 

[treesmith]

Shucks, if I was gonna cull the yolks, I'd get rid of the chickens.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Egg whites are awesome PURE protein, no fat.

 

[treesmith]

I didn't know that.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do you know your cholesterol levels? I mean, do you regularly have blood work done? Do you get at least annual "check ups" from a MD?

 

[treesmith]

I've never had my cholesterol checked. I don't remember the last time I went to a doctor.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You're old enough, schedule that shit. You just might be surprised.

 

[SkwerI]

Are you derailing the thread, or was it all just a trap so you could chastise fellow members for their food choices? And please quit acting like eating an egg yolk will cause a person to keel over and die. The hormones and other drugs fed to the chickens harm us much more than the natural egg yolk itself.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Great post, buddy!

Fried chicken and chilly cheese dogs are hard to resist.

 

[stig]

Not really!

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, fried chicken and chilly cheese dogs are MOST AWESOME, indeed!
