Nope, it's one serving, you lightweight.
All that nice sugar delivers the alcohol quickly and efficiently to the bloodstream.

The main thing that shocked me was the idea of a martini with rum. I thought they were always made with gin or vodka. Why not call it a pumpkin pie margarita instead, if anything can be substituted for anything else? Obviously I understand that the pumpkin is just there to make you vomit so that you can drink something good afterwards. After all, the fact that you are supposed to use pumpkin pie "leftovers" already indicates that the pie was shitty.

Well, in my book, the pumpkin would have made the pie "shitty" in the first place. I always love it when family members bring pumpkin pie to my house for Thanksgiving, because that means I won't eat any and won't be consuming extra calories I'll be mad at myself for later. I'm trying to talk my oldest daughter into adding something disgusting to the pecan pie she's also making this year so I won't be tempted by that either.

I had a friend who would put butter on pecan pie, then heat it gently and serve it with vanilla ice cream on top. He was plump.

I like the way they didn't use very much icing between the layers -- keeps it from being too rich.
Bottom layer should be mincemeat instead of pumpkin.

Bixa, I think it looks disgusting, hence its inclusion in this thread.

I clicked on the sarcasm emoticon in my post, but it's apparently not working.

I think there should be a fourth layer of burrito.

You certainly can't serve a slice of that on a dessert plate -- you'd need a platter.
(I saw a great photo on The Poke: "Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupid".)

I think the burrito layer is a brilliant idea. Then it should be deep batter fried in corn oil. Yummmm.

Is it just me, or is this really, really too much? (horror, guilty pleasures, and some actual information here: www.obsev.com/food)caption: Eggs benny on top of a slow cooked bacon pie (layers of potatoes with cheddar, thyme and sausage).

It does not appeal to me.

Really? Food that looks like diseased organs isn't tempting?

In an odd way, the horribly fattening pecan pie combo almost appealed - in the sense that the flavours would have complemented each other. But no, do NOT bring me that.

I rarely visit this thread and now I know why. Especially early in the a.m. Sometimes however, it is helpful in killing my appetite for anything at all.

I don't have a picture of this as I saw it on TV in a US programme called Carnival Food.
You take a raspberry jam donut and split it and spread the jam over both halves. On the lower half goes a spiced chicken breast, on top of that salad, on top of that bacon, on top of that cheese and on top of that the other half of the raspberry donut.

Does anyone remember NPR's weekly essay with photos - "Sandwich Mondays", I think it was called. Apparently the crew began taking bets to see who could bring the most interesting sandwich from home or a local take-out place. The idea took off, and the station gave them a travel allowance so they could follow up on listeners' tips.
To their credit, they actually did try to eat some truly incredible - and truly disgusting - food combinations. Almost everything had at least 2 deep-fried components, sometimes the whole sandwich was battered and deep-fried. I don't know if this show is still on, or if the reporters survived the weekly attacks on their digestive systems. It's worth a look if you can find it.
Several restaurants in New Orléans were still on a "praline bacon" kick, when I was there last time. That morphed into bacon ice cream, which meant I had to get out of town fast before I caved!

Yes, Chexbres. As a mater of fact, I was looking for Sandwich Mondays just recently, trying to catch up on what I thought I had missed. I think it was a regular segment on the afternoon show "All Things Considered." Some of the creations were inspiring and some were, shall we say, not.
