Surely some of the excess-o treats featured in this thread were on the menu at the Heart Attack Grill.

Here's one of their ads:

This next one has no photo or video. In fact, it's not even from the Internet. GASP!

It's a recipe, from the Santa Fe (restaurant) Hot & Spicy Cookbook © 1993, 1995, Tierra Publications. It represents a period when Santa Fe, NM restaurant chefs strove to outdo each other in creating new and often outlandisn combinations. It was de rigueur to use local ingredients, of which chiles were kings.

This one, credited to Paul's Restaurant, is called "Stuffed Pumpkin Bread with Red Chile Sauce, Queso Blanco & Caramelized Apples".
:P
Rather than go into a detailed, tedious list of ingredients, I'll just outline the principal components.

PUMPKIN BREAD
A regular sort of pumpkin quickbread, pretty normal ingredients. The requisite Santa Fe green chiles are sauteed with the following. Yellow squash. Corn kernels. Chopped onion. Pñon (pine nuts.) The vegetable ingredients are sauteed together, set aside and cooled.

The pumpkin bread batter is layered up in the oiled baking pans with the cooled vegetable mixture in the middle. O.k.

A Queso Blanco sauce is made by simmering feta and Swiss cheese in heavy cream. O.k.

The Paul's Red Chile Sauce is comprised of canned tomatoes, chopped onion, hot red chile powder, water, salt and black pepper. ???

The Caramelized Apples are peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples, cooked in butter sugar and a dash of cinnamon. :)

Assembly: Each loaf of Pumpkin Bread is sliced into 4 sections about 3" wide.

In the center of each of 8 serving dishes, pour Paul's Red Chile Sauce. Place a bread slice on top. Pour on the Queso Blanco. Garnish the dish with Caramelized Apples.

Done!

I did not know where to post this, I do not necessarily think of poutine as an abomination, but if you were to eat the portion my girlfriend had her kitchen make for us, than yes and abomination of gluttony. However, instead of ordering side orders, she had the kitchen do this.

The children had hamburgers and we had fresh pickerel, yummy! My girlfriend treated us to a lovely lunch then I took the 4 children and ourselves for icecream, as if we needed that!
Cheers,
Mich

Pickerel is a kind of fish. I had never heard of poutine when I used to live in Canada so I'll let Mich explain.

I just found this explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine It sounds revolting.

Revolting? French fries, curd cheese and gravy?? I mean, people eat fries with gravy all the time - it's just the addition of curd cheese to make it poutine.

That Wiki recipe is wrong - fries in Québec are not crispy on the outside, they are soft and limp and preferably fried in peanut oil. To me, crispy fries are American or English Canadian.

I personally prefer my fries with white vinegar and salt if they're good fries.

I love poutine, but I would be distressed if that were served as an individual portion. I have always felt that french fries should be limp. I don't know if it is McDonald's that invented crispy shoestring potatoes, but they are an abomination as far as I am concerned.

I feel vindicated by the health threads that confirm that limp and thick fries are enormously more healthy than crispy thin ones.

The "platter" of poutine is unusual in size indeed. Because my friend owns the restaurant, she ordered her kitchen to make it into a platter size that was to be shared by the six of us.

The french fries are indeed limp as you can see in the photo and the are covered in a gravy and also pieces of curd cheese. It is indeed delicious but no something one should eat regulary.

Pickerel is a type of fish common in the lakes around our region. You can order the fish deep fried or baked. We ordered it baked since we were also having deep fried dill pickels and the poutine! ;D

Mich

Crispy thin fries are the work of the devil.
Classic thick British chips, as taught to the educated colonies, cooked in lard or beef dripping with malt vinegar and with or without gravy or curry sauce will delight the palate for time immemorial.

I can imagine in many thousands of years the brain of an archaeologist instructing his eternal robotic body to dig at the site of an unknown building. He turns up remnants of steel and plastic. He eventually finds organic material and the skeleton of a north sea fish - and a small ancient electronic device made from silicon and associated parts.

He spends many hours ..... nay weeks ........... piecing together the puzzle. Building a device to read what is on the electronic (and as he has found out) memory stick.
He produces a Paper on the dig outlining his findings.

It is, he says, what the ancient peoples used to call a "Fish and Chip Shop". One of the vertebrae in the backbone of village life.
He's found and pieced together a container with salt residue in it. A further one with an acid he determines is a form of vinegar.
Metal pans containing some form of animal fat.
But the jewel in the crown is the memory stick.

It contains a recipe for the perfect bag of fried potato (thick cut etc).
He comes to a conclusion that upsets the experts of the day.
The ancient British were far from uncivilised if they could produce the perfection that was the British chip.
They must have stood head and shoulders above the rest of the world and were far advanced for their time.

It is a conclusion that you should realise now before it is too late.

One post script - on the memory stick was a reference to mushy peas. No trace in the diggings could be found of any trace of them.
He could only posit that they were so poisonous and abominable that they consumed themselves.

Here's a drink I actually experienced, and a small bow towards that 'how do we look' thread ;)


Unbelievable but true!

Black Panther, Cambodia's answer to Guinness Stout, coke and condensed milk drunk from a cut off, square, plastic bottle!

The meal was good though.

By the time we got to our destination I was so, um, happy, I got into a taxi and drove straight home.

Hi hwinpp :)
No amount of convincing or peer pressure would make me even take a little sip of that drink. You said the meal was good, however what is your description of the taste of the drink? Was having a meal with people in the midst of doing something illegal as uncomfortable as it would seem? Thanks for showing a picture of yourself, nice to see you.

Also I did not read Joanne's comment until now regarding hamburger on the table of my picture of lunch. Indeed, the children had hamburgers. We also had deep fried pickles but I did not get pictures of them as they were eaten so quickly.

Cheers,
Mich

Hw, do the Thai's have a thing for condensed milk? Must make the drink with Black Panther into a kind of milkshake? I was wondering what else they use condensed milk in.....

Now, I can only drink Guiness if it is mixed with champagne or perry.

Looks like a great bunch of guys, even the one on the left in glasses.

How does Black Panther taste? Is it awfully sweet, or does the bitter & the sugar work well together? Whatever else, the sugar must get the alcohol zipping through the ole bloodstream.

Super pictures, HW -- thanks for showing them and of course thanks for the recipe. ( :-X )

The mixture wasn't very good but when I was offered a glass I just swallowed it and stuck with Black Panther straight after that. No, I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again... ;D

The meal was steamed eel in lemon grass with banana flower, I haven't seen it again anywhere else. Nice though.

This wasn't actually the illegal activity. I was on the way to a place on the border called Anlong Veng and the car broke down. Right beside this little shack of forest employees. They asked us in of course, so while my colleague went to the next village for spare parts I joined them.

After a couple of hours though they got all hectic over a phone call one of them got. I found out a detachment of military police was on the way to their office from the capital... they were storing wood, illegally chopped hardwoods there :o

Apart from the boss (the one in the first pic) everybody took off to move get rid of the evidence...

Actually these are Cambodians ;)

They put milk in quite a few things that I wouldn't... They have a syrup which they call Zero (but which is named Lifeboy on the label) which they mix with condensed milk and crushed ice, comes in three colours, red, blue and yellow. Also not something I ever order. Then there's a cold sweet that consists of crushed/ shaved ice, red beans, seaweed jelly and canned milk. Looks like this (though this one seems to be a de luxe version:

Black Panther itself is good enough, if you like stout. I'm not a huge fan of stout but there was nothing else to drink! I think if you mixed it just with coke, and it was cold, it would be ok. But with the addition of that milk it lost all attraction :)

When I was in high school, lots of people my age worked part time at places like McDonald's, and you absolutely do not want to know some of the things that they did to the food. I would assume that it is much less of a problem now that they are all working under video surveillance.
