Did y'all know there are something like 2,500 calories in one Bloomin'
Onion? LOL. Of course they taste good! But I don't think one person
eats the whole thing by themselves, do they?

You can probably find a batter recipe at "copycat recipes," or the like...just
Google for a recipe.

There is even a cutting gadget for sale that you can use to cut the onion into
its blossom shape.

Wikipedia says it is American in origin, this is the first I've heard
of them.

Yes, I knew how many calories they are - but really, they are usually
shared. Two for lunch, 4 or more for an appetizer. Haven't done it
in decades. Frankly, I didn't know anyone who eats like that anymore.
Maybe the young, healthy and active can get away with it - but I'm not
young anymore, and I'm definitely not as active as I was 35 years ago.
At least I can put a + in the healthy column (knock on wood).

An American chain restaurant called "Outback" popularized Bloomin'
Onions. My husband and I used to share one at the Renaissance Faire
back in the day, but I don't know where it originated.

They are nasty. I could swear that I got one at Chili's some years back. I
know that we ate at a Chili's once. Can't remember what state it was in.
Might have had another name to it but was an onion cut up like a flower,
battered and deep fried. Very, very greasy.

I'm somewhat local to the Bloomsburg, PA fairgrounds where I believe it originated. The batter is their Funnel Cake batter.

It does rather seem like one of those over the top foods you
find at fairs. Blooming onion at the Bloomsburg fairgrounds
seems like a double play on words, though wiki says it's
invented in Springfield, NJ. Who knows.

I had my second funnel cake last week at our county fair.
This time I get why they're popular, much better than the
first heavy doughy one I had.

I never gave it a second try. My wife got one and gave me some. Maybe
it was not a good one. Maybe it was that I was predisposed to dislike
something made of deep fried batter but with nothing in it but a lot of
empty calories and fat. I was at a local festival a couple years ago
and saw a concession stand selling them. If the product itself doesn't
turn you off the customers in line waiting for those things would do it.

....but, but, but, Dave! Empty calories? Surely the onion has some good calories
and redeeming qualities....? LOL.

I enjoy fair food but it's once in a while. Probably any kind of fair
I go to, I get some form of fried dough, be it zeppole or loukoumades,
whatever.

I like them once in awhile. Same thing as fresh onion rings to me.

I once ate a funnel cake at the Bloomsburg fair. Or I should say a bite of
one. I did not like it one bit. Sickly sweet and greasy.

I didn't like it either however, the people I went with assured me that was
what it was supposed to taste like and were all too eager to finish mine
off.

The only fair food I like is raw apples when I can get them, or popcorn.

Angst can also be when you're in a hurry, but can't find a parking spot.
Parking angst.

You must have strong teeth to eat raw popcorn.

I have had those novelty dishes a couple of times. These days the idea of eating one of those greasy things makes me feel ill. OTOH, I'd probably eat some if it was in front of me. Heck, I'd probably eat practically anything at the moment. I feel the urge for pancakes and onion rings.

For lunch I had a Nongshim Bowl Noodle. It was pretty good - and cheap, but now I'm as hungry as a bear. Here's what was in it. At least, that's what they claim.

Ingredients
Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Potato Starch, Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Corn Flour, and less than 2% of the following: Beef Bone Stock, Beef Concentrate, Beef Tallow, Beta Carotene Color, Casein, Citric Acid, Corn Syrup, Cottonseed Oil, Dextrin, Dextrose, Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate, DL-Methionine, Eggs, Garlic, Ginger, Glucose, Green Onions, L-Alanine, L-Cystine, Maltodextrin, Mono And Diglycerides, Monosodium Glutamate, Mushrooms, Natural Flavorings, Onion, Paprika Color, Pollock, Potassium Carbonate, Riboflavin Color, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Phosphates, Sorbitol, Soybean, Soy Protein, Spices, Succinic Acid, Sugar, Tapioca Starch, TBHQ, Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Tocopherol, Wheat Starch, Yeast Extract.

My guess is that it probably won't kill me. I only list it here to alarm some jumpy folks.

You have to suck on it for a while to soften it.

You haven't been paying attention and now you're not sure if you'll
reach the service station before you run out of fuel. Fuel angst.

Nope. I normally fuel at Costco. Got Fred Meyer gas this last time. Had a
lot of fuel points! I try not to go less than half full. The military
trained us like that.

Wondering whether there's too much sodium in the food you give your cat.

That's nearly as bad as the list of ingredients on most commercial
icecream

OK Julie....how about this scenario. A worldwide bean blight. Killing
off beans of all kinds.

Would that warrant a bit of Bean angst?

palm oil.
