The tripple whammy of sugar, salt and fat

Lots of foods have a great deal of sugar, salt or fat. Some foods even have a great deal of two of these substances. How many foods have a great deal of all three? All I can think of is certain recipes for ribs, or kettle corn.

Orange Chicken. It even adds MSG!

I’m pretty sure it’s why the Mennonite cakes always taste so good. Nobody else will put salt in their cake, and a quite a few leave out the fat.

And you’re lucky your Orange chicken is sweet. I picked up some orange shrimp, and it was a variation on soy sauce, with orange peels in it.

The Monte Cristo sandwich deserves mention.

You’ve got a ham / turkey / cheese thing going on and then the whole thing is dipped into an egg batter, deep fried and then topped with a touch of powdered sugar and served with jelly.

I was especially partial to the one that Bennigan’s used to make.

According to the site I checked out, the Monte Cristo came in with a 600+ calorie count and an impressive 36 grams of fat.

Now that’s good eatin’ !!

Macaroni and cheese.

People put sugar in their mac and cheese?

Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I admit that.

If the site actually said “600+”, they must have been ridiculously liberal with that +. (It’s not you I’m doubting, btw, it’s Bennigans.) The livestrong entry for this sandwich also puts the calories at 643, but the comments say what I’m thinking, which is there’s no way in hell a deep-fried sandwich – and you actually get two sandwiches on the plate – packed with ham and cheese is only 643 calories. For comparison, a simple hot tomato and mozzarella sandwich at Panera has 770 calories and 29 g of fat.

Sorry for that hijack. :slight_smile: As for the OP, I offer Trader Joe’s chocolate-covered peanut butter pretzels.

Yeah, I use Livestrong and when I was at Disneyland this last time, I ate half a Monte Cristo at the Blue Bayou. When I went to enter the meal into my phone, I was left laughing-- even the HALF I hate probably had more than 600 calories.

Er, half I ate, not hate. I definitely didn’t hate it.

Fat, salt and sugar…hmmmm. My sister makes a truly delectable peanut butter cheesecake that probably qualifies.

I’ve also been hearing more about chocolate covered bacon. What else could you ask for?

Bacon. Bacon does all three, then throws in Smoky on top of it. Think about it. There’s all the fat and salt, of course. But underneath, there’s that sweetness. Mmmmmmmmm…bacon.

That’s the basic recipe for french fries and ketchup isn’t it?

Many candy bars probably fit, but I’m thinking Payday especially.

Kettle corn can be made from scratch with almost no fat. Those greasy microwaveable packets are a poor version of kettle corn, as they are of all popcorn varieties.

Caramel corn, on the other hand, typically has a lot of butter and corn syrup that aren’t present in kettle corn.

Turtles – those little pecan clusters surrounded with caramel and covered with milk chocolate.

Mmmm Mmmm.

Chocolate covered potato chips.

Yummmmm…

I admit I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time, but seriously, they’re sugaring bacon now? :eek:

Glazed ham, if you eat the visible fat as well as the lean meat.

Meatloaf, if you make it the way my mother used to, with a sauce of mostly ketchup and brown sugar with a little mustard and vinegar.

Any kind of meat with commercial barbeque sauce. About 80% of the calories in bottled BBQ sauce come from sugar, and it’s high in sodium.

Almost any kind of sweet-and-sour meat dish.

No, but if you put in onion or better yet, onion and broccoli, you will have a sweet, salty, cheesy delectableness.

Offer not valid with mac and cheese simulacrum made from blue boxes with powder or goo packets.

Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby has salted pretzels in the high fat ice cream.
