The Gluttony Thread

I just ate a pound of bacon.
And I don’t feel even a pang of guilt.

I toasted a big hoagie roll and piled on the crispy bacon; I was going to make a big ass BLT but I decided the hell with it and I laid on a handful of sliced jalapenos, 2 handfuls of shredded cheddar and passed it under the broiler till it bubbled, closed it up and ate that sucker with abandon.

It’s been a shitty week so fuck it, I deserve this.

It’s Halloween. My mother and I make a special Italian sausage and butternut squash lasagna that is like, half bechamel by weight. So I ate my serving of that. I drank nearly a bottle of wine, while cooking it and during dinner. Now my three-year-old is distributing her trick-or-treating spoils and I am accepting the peanuts. Of which there are many, many packets.

I am a person who can’t even stay satisfied without gaining weight, so the next few days on the scale are going to be ugly.

I totally forgot about Halloween!
I have a feeling a few dopers will be getting gluttonous on candy tonight :smiley:

At work today we all brought treats for nibbling on, even though we are a cafe.

There was freshly make guacamole, home fried tortillas, rice krispie treats, my baked sausage balls, candy, home canned salsa(very spicy!) and doughnuts. I tried some of it all. The guacamole was awesome! I still feel replete, and have, here at home, some more sausage balls in the oven.

Yup. We had a huge run of trick or treaters at first, so I panic-bought more candy. Of course we got about three after that!

I’ve probably had 12 pieces of Halloween candy and way too much Indian food tonight, and a couple of beers.

I could not even imagine eating a pound of bacon- and I am hardly skinny. Two rashers with tomato would pull me up.

I’m not being critical, I am amazed.

It’s not so much the bacon that’s amazing, it’s the jalapenos- yikes!! Modern bacon shrinks A LOT when crispy, sounds yummy.
Mouth is watering…but I can no longer eat so much. Not sure why, other than apparently not having a gall bladder means some foods have dire consequences…

The only reason nachos exist is an excuse to eat jalapenos.

In fact, all food is simply an excuse to eat jalapenos on top.

If you had skipped the bread it would have been perfectly healthy.

You can eat even more jalapenos if you leave out the food that supposedly goes underneath them.

Jalapenos: Nature’s candy.

I have been eating healthy but last week to celebrate a friend’s Birthday I ate a 16 ounce Filet, creamed spinach, sweet potato fries and a chocolate mousse sundae that was at least a foot tall and I loved every bite of all of it! :slight_smile:

Once you fry it up nice and crispy, it’s more like 8 ounces, maybe 10 or 11 tops.
(make sure to keep the fat to fry the potatoes in)

You should not make a habit of this…unless you invite me over. Next time, I’ll bring a pound block of scrapple! Them’s good eatin’!

If you can get sliced pork bellies you might find it even more enjoyable. Just saying. Bacon is good, but the salt, the nitrates, can overwhelm it.

I’m sitting here eating cheap chocolates wrapped up to look like eyeballs. I bought a bunch of them for my office’s trick-or-treat festivities on Friday.

It’s actually kind of cool- we shut down at about 3 on the Halloween or the day closest to it, and invite everyone’s kids in to trick-or-treat along the cubicles until about 5 pm.

So I got an obnoxious number of foil-wrapped eyeball chocolates, so that it looked like a bowl of eyes, and I’m sitting here eating the leftovers. They’re not at all awesome chocolates (they’re Palmer-brand), but they’re free and they’re here, and after the bomber of Green Flash Imperial IPA, they seem awfully good.

I just came back from Lou Malnati’s. I always feel like a cow after I leave that place.

Two appetizers, which are of course large enough to be meals themselves, followed by half a small pizza. I will not be buttoning my pants again for the rest of my life.

We really need to have a dopefest at either Lou’s or Uno/Due one of these days.

My wife and I ate at The Purple Pig in Chicago this weekend. Pate de fois gras, roasted bone marrow, pigs ears, lots of good healthy stuff!

MeanOldLady, we stopped at Lou’s on Saturday night only to be told it was a 2 hour wait. :frowning:

I ate pretty much an entire package of Chips Ahoy cookies over two days last week. We normally don’t buy them, but we got them for a game that didn’t happen, so they were there and they were calling me and…don’t judge. :slight_smile:
