Sorry, I don’t have a picture, but how about this: Imagine an ordinary sausage in a bun with your favourite condiments (ketchup, remoulade, mustard, french fried onions and/or raw onions are common choices around here), then add french fries until the bun is about to burst, top with cheese and enough Season-All to make anyone sick, nuke in the microwave until the cheese melts and serve hot. This is a specialty of one particular service station diner on the edge of the Icelandic town of Akureyri. I have heard that someone took it even farther, added batter and deep-fried it, but it hasn't been confirmed. Oh, and here is a good collection of ugly food photos: hospitalnotes.blogspot.com/

Something I don't get about the grotesque treat Icy describes and so many of the pile-ups described in this thread: how do you get them into your mouth?
I ordered a Reuben at a venerable diner in NYC. This was in the late 80s and the thing cost 10 bucks. It probably had almost ten dollars worth of meat in it, but there was no way to bite into the tower. It had to be deconstructed in order to eat it, which meant it was no longer a Reuben sandwich.

Damn, and I was always so sure that you have a really big mouth for some reason.

Yes, and a sharp right hook, as well.
Actually, I do have a big mouth, but I'm a slow eater who takes small bites.

Ha! Did you see this comment below the article: "The best part is that all of those foods will taste great later. either throw them in a pan, in the microwave, or just scarf them down cold!" Oh yeah ~~ lots of people fry eggs for the sole purpose of sticking them in the fridge in order to enjoy them cold later.

Widowmaker ;D - the name reminded me of this 15" long and very thick hot dog - The Homewrecker ;D

Yeah, I'll just bet that Homewrecker is a ~uh~ gas!
Imec, go get Iain & HW. The Widowmaker should be just right for the four of us.

Just think of all those nice flavors of beef, chicken, breading, fries, cake, and bacon intermingling in the grease of the restaurants which serve these delightful concoctions. It's only a matter of time before they start offering a hearty mug o'grease to their lucky diners. And to make it even more delicious and amp up the presentation, a bread stick wrapped in bacon, then rolled in heavy breading and deep-fried to be used as an attractive and tasty swizzle stick!

Most of these abominations look like they've already been eaten, and up-chucked. Or worse.
I WAS hungry before looking at these pictures...

The thread is also a valuable learning tool. Imagine how pleased I was to already know about The Home Wrecker when reading this article.

15 worst American foodsI disagree with some of this list, if the item is eaten in moderation. Well, some of them do seem pretty atrocious, though.

Hmmm. Could there be any connection between the fact that so many of these food abominations are American and America's high obesity rate?

Oh wow Kimby, you must be the first person to have ever thought of that! Actually, I think that lots of places have food abominations, but Americans seem to take a particular pride in photographing them. "Land of Abundance" You will soon discover that Australians eat lots of abominable things.

As I scroll down this page the Widowmaker still looks fantastic to me! Here is a truly disgusting sight for any dinner table, sorry if anyone is squeamish.

I thought that was going to be a pic of cous cous with tofu and cucumber in it! Those are the three "foods" which I really can not get excited about. I have most likely never had a well prepared cous cous or tofu in actual fact.

Cooked tripe is absolutely wonderful. It is only when you are boiling raw tripe that it smells like vomit.
