Regular football or one where bulls smash their heads into concussion? Also who is washing ton monument? And why? I didn't know americans built monument for ton.
I'm ever astonished at the variety of deep fried stuff at Appalachian festivals and fairs. All these stalls trying to one-up the rest with the lengths they are willing to go into hot fat depravity. Grease-boiled confections and savories of every niche. A healthcare nightmare. But this is a region steeped in despair. It's tough to heap blame on folks giving up.
Fuck you now I'm craving a half pizza supper and a deep fried mars bar but the nearest proper chippy is thousands of miles away back home in scotland 😭
I don't know why but those ice cream things make me physically sick to look at sometimes. That amount of sugar in one sitting is borderline lethal for me.
Pork fat is less processed product and certainly more healthy. America isn't actually great at much but one thing we do have is the least healthy food to ever exist.
Truth. Heart disease wasn't nearly as prevalent back when we cooked everything with lard. And then Crisco came along, started producing that overprocessed "vegetable oil" garbage, marketed it (and continue to market it) as "healthy", and people actually fell for their BS. Hell, judging by the amount of downvotes you got, half the public still believes this lie.
A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.
Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.
The key is to get to that skin while it's still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it's just not the same.
Damn, you can get an entire large pizza for $10 at Costco. Granted, your only options are pepperoni or cheese, and the quality isn't the best (far from the worst, though), but it'll feed 1-3 people.
Still, I miss the days when you could a large pizza with unlimited toppings at various chain restaurants for $10. But that was over 10 years ago.
Domino's still regularly has €5 pizza's on monday for pickup, at my old job during the late shift we had €17 per person to spend on food and 2 people in the shift.
We used to order 2 family xxl with their thursday 50% off for second pizza and a regular sized cheeseburger pizza+ drinks for that €34.
We both ate half our xxl and shared the regular size one, the remainder came home to feed our wives while the company covered the cost.
They even paid us a pretty decent wage too, but unfortunately the head office decided to build a new automated warehouse right when covid started that ended up only doing 30% productivity and they closed us down as a result.
I also don't know any Italian who eats their Pizza by slicing it up, folding the slice, and shoving it into their mouthes, instead of with knife and fork, like a civilized person.
