And this particular combination of tastes... might have tried it while I was pregnant, though! With a nice side of fries. Guacamole and strawberry jam.

You've got a winner! the only way to improve on that would be to bread it in Krispy Kremes and deep fry it.

13. I never thought of celiac disease as a blessing.
But since flour is often involved in fried fat stuff, my temptations are very much lessened.
Between no wheat and no HFCS, junk food options are pretty limited.

19. I saw two guys at Tommy's Ham House this morning ..
They looked like brothers. They were there with their wives. One guy had a plate of what looked like about four scrambled eggs, pancakes, and grits with a large side plate of country ham and about eight strips of bacon. The other guy had a plate of eggs and hash browns, pancakes, and four orders (16 strips) of bacon. They cleaned their plates. It was fascinating!

Funny thing was, neither was fat. But they were big.

20. And they went to all that trouble dropping "Fried" from their name
So much grease you won't have to order a drink. Just don't call it "fried."

Actually, there isn't a huge difference between this thing and chicken cordon bleu.

We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger.

48. Ok let's break this down
hedonics...

I am sure it has a good "mouth feel" due to the fat

Probably some texture

Salt, fat and sugar.

So no, they are not trying to kill you, they are trying to get you ADDICTED. And given how fat can be as bad as cocaine...

by the way, I am also sure this is market test

What the hell is the difference between a chicken cordon bleu (chicken, ham and Swiss, deep fried and sold in our finest restaurants) and a Double Down, except you don't need to wear a tie to eat a Double Down?

59. When I make cordon bleu, I use very thin chicken cutlets...
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 08:47 AM by SidDithers
and pan fry them in a very minimal amount of extra virgin olive oil.

Is that any healthier than big honkin' breasts deep fryed in beef tallow?

:shrug:

Edit: sorry, was McDonalds that used (past tense) beef tallow. KFC now uses trans-fat free soybean oil in their fryers. But I still think pan frying and deep frying are the difference between a good chicken cordon bleu and the yummy but killer food produced by KFC.

They'll be frying it in hydrogenated vegetable oil. Still, it's probably better for you than a big bleached flour bun.

Admittedly, very few cordon bleu makers would start with two whole breasts, but I've eaten a lot of cordon bleu and almost all of it was deep-fried.
