    It could kill a European, if consumed by a European. However, it is consumed by an American, so it kills an American.

      I have now had homemade pizza that was delicious but word of advice

      Don’t eat a whole pizza for breakfast and lunch combined at the same time

      They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.

      I’m ever astonished at the variety of deep fried stuff at Appalachian festivals and fairs. All these stalls trying to one-up the rest with the lengths they are willing to go into hot fat depravity. Grease-boiled confections and savories of every niche. A healthcare nightmare. But this is a region steeped in despair. It’s tough to heap blame on folks giving up.

      Or a piece an’ Macaroni Pie. Carb in Carb in Carb. I’m sure you could get the pie battered too in the right chip shop.

        If you eat a battered macaroni pie in a roll and down it with Irn Bru, Highland Cathedral will start playing out of nowhere.

    It’s like my breakfast and i’m an european. Some american vibe in an eastern europe shithole. But I would add a spicy sauce to the pizza.

    I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.

    And a hazelnut vodka.

    There are many ways for a heart to implode.

      Pork fat is less processed product and certainly more healthy. America isn’t actually great at much but one thing we do have is the least healthy food to ever exist.

        Truth. Heart disease wasn’t nearly as prevalent back when we cooked everything with lard. And then Crisco came along, started producing that overprocessed “vegetable oil” garbage, marketed it (and continue to market it) as “healthy”, and people actually fell for their BS. Hell, judging by the amount of downvotes you got, half the public still believes this lie.

          A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.

      Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.

        Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.

        The key is to get to that skin while it’s still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it’s just not the same.

    Did shrinkflation not hit america? Everything in that photo is huge, and it’s not like the car is small. Even while having a huge car as the background, the food looks huge.

      Seems to have happened to everything but Costco’s food court. I guess it’s a strategy to get people in the door. Their hotdog/drink combo is still $1.50.

        But as of a few months ago, they’re no longer available to non-members. And the hot dogs are indeed a loss leader, a delicious loss leader.

      It’s very much a thing unfortunately its everywhere. this is just from costco a wholesale retailer you need a paid membership to shop at, hence the large portions and cheap price on it.

        Also, the CEO is adamant about keeping it that way.

          Adamant is putting it lightly. The co-founder apparently told his CEO successor:

          “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
