Fish and chips would be good meal if it wasn’t for the bad fat. But that’s like saying jumping from a building would begood for you if it was not for the impact.[/quote]
i love fish and chips.
what if it were fried in quality fat ? it would be saturated fat but if your body was well fat balanced would you deal with it better then ?
or if you had protein in you system to help resist the insulin hit from the carb/fat combination ?
doesn’t vinegar on the chips help to slow down that insulin hit anyway ?

pass the vinegar.[/quote]
I’m with you, swivel. Fish and chips ain’t so bad (unless cutting). One can do far worse. Especially righteous for post workout, a fine time to spike the insulin anyways.

This won Maxim magazine’s sandwich of the year. It’s called the Fat Darrell (invented by Darrell Butler during his sophomore year at Rutgers University) contains chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and french fries. Maxim lauds it for its "drunken ingenuity.[/quote]
Hahaha I’ve eaten quite a few of these seeing as how I go to Rutgers. Not bad for $4.50. Makes you feel fat as hell after you eat it though.

That’s not the only thing they deep fry here in Glasgow. Pizza Crunch is also a Glasgow favourite. That’s a whole pizza, dipped in batter, deep fried and served with chips (fries). You’ve gotta love us Scots.
I’m guessing that you guys have never heard of a garbage plate (from the Rochester, NY area).
It’s macaroni salad, baked beans, french fries, a hot sauce/gravy mixture, sprinkled with diced raw onions, topped with two cheeseburgers (no buns). All this layered into a take out container.
It’s heaven sent when you get out of the bar at 2 in the morning and are looking for food.
The Hamdog is a hot dog wrapped in a beef patty that’s deep fried, covered with chili, cheese and onions, and served on a hoagie bun topped with a fried egg and two fistfuls of fries.[/quote]

I agree. Is there suddenly a shortage of “normal” high calorie foods? I don’t feel the need to search for a way to make a snickers bar contain more calories than it already does…
I ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory last weekend and took in over 5,000 calories, and I didn’t find the need to grab a deep-fryer at any point during the meal.
