The act of feeding someone is an act of beauty,
whether it's a full Sunday roast or a jam sandwich,
but only when done with love.

What are the comparable dishes in Australia? You folks are not getting
so porky on salad alone:

Australia now world's fattest nation Jill Stark
June 20, 2008


Australia has become the fattest nation in the world, with more than 9
million adults now rated as obese or overweight, according to an
alarming new report.

The most definitive picture of the national obesity crisis to date has
found that Australians now outweigh Americans and face a future "fat
bomb" that could cause 123,000 premature deaths over the next two
decades.

If the crisis is not averted, obesity experts have warned, health
costs could top $6 billion and an extra 700,000 people will be
admitted to hospital for heart attacks, strokes and blood clots caused
by excess weight.

They're not all disgusting except in portion size. As a patriotic
Marylander may I say the Smith Island cake is good when made from
scratch and served as sensible portion. It is interesting to discover
where some of these gluttonous things actually come from but I want to
enjoy my supper so I didn't finish. It is weird that somewhere actually
claims the invention of the turduckhen.

I got to the Alaskan dish and nearly puked!!

"Eskimo ice cream
Ingredients: Reindeer fat, seal oil, salmonberries, blackberries

Fat content: It’s hard to estimate without a known serving size of this
native treat. But consider this: An average serving of reindeer fat packs
a whopping 91 grams of fat. A different version made with fish, berries,
and seal oil contains 9 grams of fat.

Also known as Eskimo Ice Cream, akutaq, (pronounced agoodik or agooduk) is
a classic native dish that is still popular today. Today's modern versions
are usually prepared with Crisco, but traditional recipes called for meat
and fat from caribou, moose, bears, seals, and fish."

Those monstrosities were probably featured on Man Against Food or
whatever the name of that show is. Most of them are what I call
"stunt food". They are too much volume; never mind that they just
plain look unappetizing. Nobody can eat that cr*p, but they will try
it to win whatever prize is being offered. When restaurants give food
names like Quadruple Bypass Burger, that's the first clue your leg is
being pulled pretty hard.

I still find it interesting how obsessed you seem to be with perfectly
awful American foods.

Inuit got 2/3 of their calories from fat. Polar explorers plan on
consuming 5800 calories a day.
