So greasy I threw it away

zxcvbob said:

Twice this week.  The first time, I stopped by Burger King on the way to
work Monday to check out the new breakfast value menu.  I assumed they
would have one of the breakfast items, on a rotating basis, for 99¢.
Nope.  But they did have a sausage biscuit for $1.  I ordered that and
took it to work, and the biscuit was saturated with grease -- and not
from the sausage.  I think they brushed it with margarine and got
carried away.  I ate the sausage and threw out the biscuit.

Today, stopped by Sam's Club to get a huge bag broccoli florets, and
since I only had one item I went to the cafe to check out instead of
waiting in line.  The pizza looked pretty good, so I bought a slice of
white pizza with roast chicken on it.  I took a bite, and it had
mayonnaise under the cheese.  I took one more bite to make sure, then
threw the rest away.  It was so greasy and rich the two bites made me
queasy.

I like greasy foods, but in both cases they went out of their way to
make the food *extra* *extra* greasy.  Is this a new trend, or just a
run of bad luck (or bad judgment) on my part?

Very bad judgement... I don't consider any fast-food as food... I
can't think of one item sold at any fast food joint that qualifies as
actual wholesome food... garbage but not food, and certainly not
worthy of garbage for a landfill, more like something needs
incineration.

I mean like what's so difficult about preparing a fried egg sammiche
at home... couple slices whole grain wheat bread toasted, a couple
eggs scrambled in a small pat of real butter, an apple, a banana and
you have s wholesome breakfast to go.

Too bad you weren't in the right mood to make the manager eat some in
front of you. Yech!

I'd agree except the addition of mayo under the cheese on the pizza was
definite overkill.

McDonald's chicken "snack wrap", if you get the grilled version, with
honey mustard. It's surprisingly good. I also like McDonald's ice
cream cones.

I usually skip breakfast altogether, even tho I know that's not a good
idea. Sometimes I'll have a split and toasted bagel with a little ham
and/or swiss cheese, and an apple or pear. Sometimes if I'm in a hurry
I just eat a tablespoon of peanut butter on my way our the door, then
have a banana with my first cup of coffee at work. But I like a
Croissanwich(tm) every once in a great while and I hoped that was what
they'd have on the breakfast value menu.

I'd say it's a run of poor judgement on your part, with a bit of bad
luck. Although it's always tempting to just pick up a little
something convenient, most of the time one would be better off getting
an apple or some such.

Really? On my way home from Weight Watchers, I always stop at a Wendy's
up the block from me for dinner. My meal includes a grilled chicken
sandwich with tomato, no mayo (and ketchup), a baked potato with a pat
of margarine, and sometimes a salad, with a diet Sprite to wash it down.
What's not wholesome about that?

Its all about convenience, I guess. I don't eat fried egg sandwiches
every day, but if I am in a hurry to get to work and I am hungry, it
literally takes me five minutes (tops) to stop in the convenience store
up the block from me, grab a sandwich and a drink, pay, and be on my way
again. There is no way, I could make a fried egg sandwich AND clean up
from it in five minutes at home; not to mention that I rarely keep eggs
at home. To each his own though.

When I retire, I am sure I will be enjoying a slower paced life and
eating more home cooked meals.

Not quite. When I was on weight watchers, after weighing in I would go out
for a normal dinner at a nice restaurant. I lost 21# in three weeks. Weight
watchers is not about starving yourself.

Would you consider Wendy's a nice restaurant? No weight loss program
should be about starving yourself. I lost 50 pounds 5 years ago and
have kept it off. I've NEVER been hungry doing it. I don't care what
the menu claims as calories you're better staying away from any fast
food slophouse.

But to each their own I guess.

Some fast-food is edible, such as the 'sandwich' type stores such as
Blimpie's. But by far the worst fast-food has to be Burger King, with Mickey
D's a close 2nd.

Little of both maybe. After lab tests I generally run down to the hospital
dining room for breakfast. I like One Fried Egg and dry toast. And the cooks
who used to ladle out about a 1/4 c. of oil (or something) now use about 50
seconds of spray oil. Developing some good habits there? I think some
iggorant cooks just assume since some is good, a lot is better. I insist the
hospital cook use no more spray at all, there's plenty of grease already on
the egg grill. Works fine for me, but unlikely to work at a fast food place.
PS: Taco Cabana is even worse with the grease glop.

fifty seconds?? That's a long damn time to be spraying a grill.
I wonder how long the can lasts? That's a lot of environmental waste
too, sadly.

That, and the fact that I like to eat at a liesurely pace and read the
daily newspaper. If I were to eat before the meeting, I would only have
a few minutes to eat between the time I get home from work and the
meeting time.
