I cant believe I just ate.....
 
Here be the place to spill that thing that you just consumed that you shouldnt have, or just cant believe you did.

For example....


Oh.my.god. I cant believe I just inhaled a *whole* pull-a-part Cheese n Garlic plaited loaf of bread.

Follow by 4 Orange Tim Tams. :blush:

You still in post-coital bliss? :)
(damn jealous - wish I could decide I wanted it and then just get it)

I won't be able to contribute much to this thread - I have to think about everything I eat. Deliberately so.

I can't believe I had Branflakes with skimmed milk for breakfast doesn't really cut it. All you svelte beauties go ahead though, vicarious internet eating, yumyum.

ZenGum 10-14-2007 05:36 AM

I don't think I'm going to eat it, but I just noticed a tub of yogurt that had been lurking innocently in the fridge door ... use by 24th August! :eek: Tonight being rubbish night, I might open it before I toss it, just to see ... who knows it might be really good.

I just spent $18 on bread.

FTR....you so COULD!! decide you wanted it and then just get it.

Oh, and I have to work at staying svelte, I used to think about everything I eat, deliberately.....but now I am happy and in maintenance stage...so I eat enough healthy foods that the binges I will put in print here...are acceptable.

There IS light at the end of the tunnel, but you never want to leave yourself in total darkness on the journey there :)

What the hell is an orange tim tam?

The Tim Tam is the greatest thing on this planet.

Take two chocolate wafer biscuits, and put them either side of a layer of chocolatey cream. Coat the result with a thick layer of chocolate. Hmmmm. This is a Tim Tam.

Better yet, get the double coated version: add a second layer of chocolate around the first. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

There are many variations: orange, mint, dark, white, coffee...

Wanna be really indulgent? Do a Tim Tam Slam.

1. Bite a little off each end (or opposite corners), and what you have is two porous biscuits inside an impermeable chocolate tube. This can function like a straw.
2. Make a hot beverage. Coffee, mocha, or Milo are best. Some perverts use tea. This is wrong.
3. Hold one end of the Tim Tam in your mouth, and lower the other end into the drink. Suck the drink through the biscuit. The drink will dissolve the biscuitty part, and melt the chocolate, whereupon you gulp the biscuit into your mouth. If you time it right you can get simultaneous coffee, crumbly biscuit, and melted chocolate in you mouth. Ahhhgggghghghghghg.
Of course, if you get the timing wrong you may have mess everywhere or a choking hazard. It is worth the risk.

There are many demonstrations on youTube. I think the best is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm0N8...elated&search=

I can't believe I have readdicted myself to fried breakfasts. What with that, the beer and the cigarettes, I can see me dead of a heart attack before I reach 40:P

elSicomoro 10-14-2007 03:03 PM

I can't believe I ate a half chicken last night...of course, not in one sitting. But I ate some of it there, then finished it off at home later on.

If you ever come to St. Louis, this is the place to go for fried chicken.

This is what I ate last night, except I had mashed potatoes and onion rings instead of the fries and slaw:

zippyt 10-14-2007 04:51 PM

Damn Dude That looks like a fried Chehluhule Dog !!!!!!!!

elSicomoro 10-14-2007 04:59 PM

Depending on when you guys get up here, maybe we can eat there one of nights you're here.

zippyt 10-14-2007 05:22 PM

We plan on being there friday nite .

also where is a good place for those famous Raviolis ???

elSicomoro 10-14-2007 08:05 PM

Where they were created...just ate there tonight. Good stuff!

RE: tim tams. snap, crackle and pop cereal has made a "straw' that is chocolate on the inside and wafer on the out that you suck your milk thru--is similar? No?

Nothing is like Tim Tams!

Tim Tam is Australia’s favourite chocolate biscuit. Around 35 million packs are sold each year - that's nearly 400 million biscuits. There are 8 delicious varieties of Tim Tam biscuits:

Tim Tam Original, Tim Tam Chewy Caramel, Tim Tam Double Coat, Tim Tam Dark, Tim Tam Love Potions Double Chocolate and Raspberry, Tim Tam Love Potions Chocolate Mud, Tim Tam Love Potions Sticky Vanilla Toffee, Tim Tam Latte.

And of course, Tim Tam Balls, which were launched in September 2005!

Tim Tam biscuits first hit supermarket shelves in 1964. They were named after a horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 1958. A member of the Arnott family, Ross Arnott, attended the race day and decided ‘Tim Tam’ was the perfect name for his new biscuit. The chocolate used to make Tim Tam biscuits has been specially developed by Arnott’s to give a slightly caramel taste. The cream flavour is a delicate mixture of vanilla, butter and chocolate that complements the biscuit base and the chocolate. It’s this unique cream which sets Tim Tam apart from any other chocolate biscuit.

Aliantha 10-15-2007 07:16 AM

I like doing a tim tam slam with icy cold milk. That way all the chocolate goes hard but the biscuit is soft and gooey.

There's nothing better when you really want a binge.

LabRat 10-15-2007 11:09 AM

In addition to my usual breakfast of milk and carbs (this morning, 2 slices of toast with Trader Joes Blueberry preserves), I had a large piece of the yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting I made last night. :blush: MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

bluecuracao 10-16-2007 12:35 AM

I can't believe I ate more than half of two horrible meals today--for lunch, a "chicken caesar wrap" with way too much dressing and old, wilted lettuce; and for dinner, a supposedly grilled chicken sandwich that looked pretty enough, but amazingly had no flavor whatsoever. I usually make it a rule that if it doesn't taste good after the first bite or two, I put it down and back away...but I was having a long day stuck at work, and I needed "fuel." :greenface

Aliantha 10-16-2007 02:17 AM

ok, I went and bought a packet of tim tams after this thread today, and I can't believe, I just ate the whole lot. Didn't give the kids any!

Now I don't feel like eating dinner...and I feel sick. :alien:

Urbane Guerrilla 10-16-2007 04:26 AM

I devoured a whole plateful of Beef Stroganoff. Ya know what? In this dish you absolutely need the piquant weight of sour cream for the proper effect: nonfat yoghurt is mere ersatz.

[edit] Come to think of it, sour cream on top of sauerbraten....

DucksNuts 10-16-2007 04:30 AM

Second helping of home made chicken pie.....yummmm.....its cold here tonite, so they were perfect.

Agree with you re the sour cream UG.

Ali, I did the same thing on Sunday.

Aliantha 10-16-2007 05:43 AM

I can't believe i just ate a whole dinner on top of my packet of tim tams...with a bloody mary (sans worscestershire sauce because I discovered there was none in the pantry).

I'm all vitamin C'd up. C1 which would be from the tomato juice, and C2 which would be from the chocolate.

elSicomoro 10-16-2007 09:11 AM

As long you didn't have any C4.

Aliantha 10-16-2007 06:20 PM

No, but i may have had the previous day. My arse was firing up well and truly.

binky 10-17-2007 11:45 AM

2 slices of cold pizza for breakfast in spite of the fact that I may have an ulcer

Sundae 10-17-2007 01:53 PM

Bought 2 jars of cheap Bolognese Sauce the other week. Well, a jar will do 3 meals and I can't make a sauce as cheaply (27p - about 50c a jar!)

Had the first tonight - with red onion, red pepper, red lentils, mung beans (green, for variety) and sweetcorn. Now, as I poured the jar in, my usually accurate nose caught a whiff of something unpleasant but all too familiar. Aniseed? Fennel?! No, since when is fennel a standard addition to bolognese, especially the cut price version?

So I checked, and there, the second to last ingredient, hiding in with the rest of the herbs (I don't always check that far down the list - just the main ingredients) was fennel.

So I added extra garlic and some Tabasco to make it into a spicy pasta sauce instead.

FENNEL?! I ask you!

Anyway, just had a bowl and I think it was diluted enough by my additions not to matter too much. I now have to go back and check the similar jars of Chilli and Sweet & Sour I bought.

DanaC 10-17-2007 03:13 PM

I can't believe I ate a small bucket o'chicken.....

Spexxvet 10-17-2007 04:19 PM

A 5 guys bacon cheesegurger and french fries.

Undertoad 10-17-2007 08:33 PM

Fennel is an abomination, I won't eat it even in sausage.

bluecuracao 10-17-2007 08:53 PM

Give me all your fennel then, you guys. I love it!!

(I'll send you whatever cilantro I come across--bleh)

Undertoad 10-17-2007 09:30 PM

That's not a good trade. Fennel, anise, cilantro and cumin are the spices/herbs I won't eat... it makes indian food dicey although I love the indian food without cumin in it.

Ten points, Monster. :lol2:

i cant; believe that it took 36 posts for that to come out. looks like i have more work to do after all.

zippyt 10-17-2007 11:21 PM

was it tasty Flint ??

Urbane Guerrilla 10-18-2007 12:38 AM

Hey, I like fennel seed in a tomato sauce. Adds a flavor note to the complex.

I also sometimes toss in a weensy handful of raisins. They hold onto their own flavor rather than suffusing anything into the sauce, so you're eating along on spaghetti sauce until you hit a raisin and suddenly here's a sweet note for just this mouthful. Quite nice.

UT, I'm sad for you though: no cumin = no chili. It just ain't chili without its cumin. Just a sort of insipid meat stew.

Have to agree with Urbane there. No cumin = no chilli. I also like a bit of coriander in a chilli too.

That's one of the great things about Chilean empanadas--that occasional sweet bit of raisin. Then the next bite might have a little salty olive...

Urbane Guerrilla 10-19-2007 05:48 AM

And then there's that funny Cincinnati Greek take on spaghetti sauce and chili: considerable cinnamon in the works, and some allspice too I think. Distinctive enough that I think you can google recipes for it.

One of them

And one for the crockpot

Epicurious.com seems to have crashed or gotten swamped. Pity, it seemed they had a good article w/recipe.

Urbane Guerrilla 10-19-2007 05:52 AM

European and particularly Finnish licorice are a great big improvement over the unpleasant stuff we know here -- full of molasses, which does a lot to smooth it out and make it fun. I'm a total convert now.

Panda brand makes a herbed licorice that comes off like what if Ricola made licorice. Also quite fun.

bluecuracao 10-19-2007 05:56 AM

I had no idea that Cincinnati chili was Greek.

Urbane Guerrilla 10-19-2007 06:00 AM

I'm told Greek restauranteurs started it, and that it evolved over some years.

Sundae 10-19-2007 09:15 AM

I had a whole red onion at lunch.

I hadn't realised I already had onions last time I went shopping, so I bought another 3. Panicked by the fact I was becoming over-run with them I decided to use one of Nigella's tricks and soak the chopped onion overnight in lime juice. This made them crunchy and tasty without any of the "burn" you get when you eat them raw.

So I had cracked wheat, smoked salmon (trimmings, £1.18 a pack), red onion, sweetcorn with a lime and garlic dressing. And I don't smell of onions! Just garlic.

Urbane Guerrilla 10-26-2007 12:20 AM

Marinated onions! Is that cool or what?

Aaand next on the platter: pickled!!

I do too know what pickled onions are! -- I just haven't eaten very many. First encounters with pickles -- that reminds me. A New Zealand friend of mine in high school got introduced to dill pickles on school lunch hamburgers. He thought they were absolutely awful. I tried to tell him about sweet pickles, or bread-and-butter pickles, but I don't think he ever believed me. He never did get a taste for them.

DucksNuts 10-26-2007 12:35 AM

I love pickled onions

Clodfobble 10-26-2007 11:02 AM

Minifob loves dill pickles. He'll eat them by the plateful. Now I know for sure he wasn't switched at the hospital. :)

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 11:31 AM

I had octopus for the first time last night. As chewy as expected, I'm afraid.

Visit a really top class sushi restaurant. They can bring a live octopus to your table, chop off a tentacle and drop it, still writhing, onto your plate, and you are expected to eat it immediately.
I have not had this. I've read, though, that the suckers on the tentacles will still be puckering and releasing as you chew ... suckering on to the roof of your mouth and the insides of your cheeks...
:eek:

There now, your dinner wasn't so bad, was it?

Sundae 10-26-2007 12:24 PM

Now I like octopus. But that is just grim.

You're supposed to put them down your pants! It's AWESOME!!!

Dingleschmutz 10-26-2007 01:02 PM

I didn't say it was bad, it was just chewy. It was just two pieces of nigiri, and it was cooked, so it's not like it was gonna ruin my dinner.

As for the writhing, sucking tentacle thing... Only in Japan.

Just like in Oldboy (which I highly recommend, but not fucking dubbed like this clip is):


wolf 11-04-2007 09:00 PM

I get these coupons for up to $8 worth of hospital cafeteria food while momWolf is in the hospital. It's a kind of a bonus club. Instead of frequent flyer miles, I get food, a discount in the gift shop, and free parking.

Usually I'm there around or after lunch and I get the sushi plate (I'm a sushi wuss, so it involves some kind of seafood that's already cooked, like the crab, shrimp, or smoked salmon). Today I was there for dinner.

I had the meatloaf and the mac 'n cheez, some peanut butter cookies, and a Coke.

And two rounds of Tums. So far.

If you don't hear from me again, tell the CDC that it was the meatloaf.

Aliantha 11-04-2007 09:01 PM

A whole packet of pods after half a bagette with taramasalata

wolf 11-04-2007 09:03 PM

You know the yanks are going to ask ... what are pods? and that taramasalata thingy? Salata, I assume, means salad, but what's in it?

Aliantha 11-04-2007 09:04 PM

tums are great. I have them for indigestion. I wonder where else you can get them

Aliantha 11-04-2007 09:04 PM

taramasalata is a greek dip made with fish roe. It's very salty and garlicy and oniony.

Pods are...I'll get a pic. Just a minute.
