DiningBuzz! - Unhealthiest Recipes

The bacon thread in OMNI and then this recipe which I happened to come across on Cooks.com "inspired" this thread. This is awful in two ways - I can't imagine it tastes very good either, but who knows? :D


TWINKIE DELIGHT

1 lg. box instant vanilla pudding
1 lg. box Cool Whip
1 box Twinkies
1 bar Butterfinger

Cut Twinkies in half, layer in a glass dish. Mix pudding as directed on package. Pour over the Twinkies, cover with Cool Whip. Break up Butterfinger and sprinkle on top.

Everyone knows that the Scottish diet is one of the healthiest out there. Greasy Scotch pies, fried breakfasts, fish 'n' chips washed down with pints of beer and a few ciggies......just some of the foods and afters which has helped us Scots having one of the best rates of hard disease in the world.
And you won't get much healthier than that all time Scottish favourite recipe......"tablet (http://scruss.com/tablet.html)".....apart from the cup of milk that is.

Make the instant pudding with low fat milk, and it is almost a health dessert. :D

Yes, if you leave out the Twinkies, Cool Whip and Butterfinger. :)

I learned this while living in the upper Midwest:
1 can chili with beans (Hormel is good)
1 block of soft cream cheese (Philadephia)

Place in microwave-safe bowl, microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm. Mix well.
Sounds horrible, but tastes great.


Frito Pie, the unofficial state dish of Texas, which I learned in the Republic:
Heat chili with beans (your second can of Hormel), mix with a bag of Fritos. Add cheese to taste. Enjoy!

Don't forget your statin!

I make this only on high days and holidays (about once or twice a year) and the result has to be shared around at least a dozen people to minimize heart attacks / sugar overload. It is, however, my most requested dessert ever, and I have one on order for a birthday in September (the fact it is a lot of work is the other reason it is rarely made!)

Base layer:
A substantial layer of chocolate cookies, crumbled and mixed with butter and baked to form a pseudo cheesecake base

Next layer:
A thick, homemade caramel mixed with a few salted peanuts

Next layer:
A thick layer of mousse made from peanut butter and cream

Next layer:
A thick layer of dark chocolate ganache

On the top:
Drizzled homemade caramel, peanuts and chocolate shavings

Everything in Paula Deen's cookbooks.

The beans in the chili are a little too healthy, aren't they? ;)

I grew up with Frito pies in New Mexico. They even served them occasionally in my elementary school cafeteria! Our version was topped with diced onions and tomatoes and a sprinkle of shredded lettuce, just to cover your bases on the fruit/vegetable front. :D

The beans in the chili are a little too healthy, aren't they? ;)

Not a problem because no self-respecting Texan would ever put beans in his/her chili...or use chili from a can, for that matter. ;)

This is the school cafeteria version, but scaled down batches go over amazingly well at brunch until people find out what goes into it and they start clutching their chest.

(Yes, that is 12 cups melted butter. In fact, it's 12 of most things, so you may as well use 12 lbs of cheese.)

FROZEN HASH BROWN POTATO CASSEROLE
12 (32 oz.) pkg. shredded frozen potatoes
6 c. melted butter
12 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted
10 lb. grated cheddar cheese
12 (8 oz.) cartons sour cream
4 tbsp. salt
6 sm. onions, chopped
24 c. crushed corn flakes
6 c. melted butter

Place thawed potatoes in 4 shallow cafeteria baking pans. Mix together next 6 ingredients and pour over potatoes equally. Top with crushed cornflakes and drizzle melted butter over all. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serves 150.

I believe in some places a version of this is called, "Company Potatoes" and, in others "Funeral Potatoes" (not because it kills you, but because they serve it at the luncheon in the church basement after the funeral. :D).

;)

I had the same thought.:p


Here's a family recipe cake that used to send shivers though the northerners when I'd read it to them in college - I think it was the lard, might've been the amount of eggs & sugar;)

Cream together 2 cups sugar with one cup lard. Add in 3/4 cup whole sweet milk, a teaspoon of vanilla (I substitute Amaretto now that my grandmother is no longer around to find out), and 1/4 tsp salt. Alternating, add in 6 eggs and 2 cups of flour until just combined. Pour into greased & floured bundt pan. Place in cold oven (do NOT preheat oven). Set temp to 325 and bake for 55-60 minutes or until knife stuck in center comes clean. Best served while still hot from oven or after its set (well wrapped) for at least a day. Good plain or with fresh peaches/strawberries and ice cream.

I make it in a crockpot for church potlucks. It's usually one of the "healthier" dishes there.:o

Haven't heard that one. I think I'll not mention that to the bereaved at the next "opportunity." ;)

Yep. There's been a big pot of this at pretty much every midwestern funeral luncheon I've been to.

Sounds like the "hashbrown casserole" at Cracker Barrel. I have been twice and have not been back.

The first time I ordered food at CB was at dinner, and I ordered what turned out to be a rather astonishing version of turnip greens with ham. The second time, the breakfast menu had something called "hashbrown casserole.". I had never heard of it but thought--hashbrowns, surely good. Casserole, probably good. The two together, surely--. But--:eek:

One does recover from the experience, but it takes time.

This is my personal favorite from Epic Meal Time - the TurBaconEpic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ)

A quail stuffed in cornish hen stuffed in a duck stuffed in a chicken stuffed in a turkey stuffed in a pig, each layer filled with bacon stuffing, the whole pig glazed with a whiskey-Dr. Pepper glaze and wrapped in bacon. Then garnished with Wendy's Baconators for serving.

If that doesn't win, try the Fast Food Lazagna.

One of my personal favorites for a good bachelor meal.

- Purchase cheap steak at grocery store, preferably whatever's on sale
- Cook steak in frying pan using nothing but Pam spray, salt, garlic salt and pepper
- As soon as steak is done, take off frying pan, then scramble three eggs in the streak grease
- Cut up two potatoes, fry in butter with garlic salt

Consume all of the above, possible with some toast.

Bacon-infused bourbon - combining two of my favorite things: bacon and bourbon...

1. Take 2 cups of bourbon, pour it into a jar.
2. Take 3 tablespoons of bacon grease (what you'd get from frying half a package) and pour it into the same jar.
3. Shake jar vigorously and stick it in the freezer for 24 hours.
4. Open jar, take off top layer of fat, and then strain the liquid (I use a coffee filter).
5. Enjoy the bacon-y goodness ;)

This thread is making me even more hungry.

My dad used to scramble eggs in bacon grease, right after frying the bacon. Somehow we are all still alive. I cannot speak to the condition of my arteries, though. :D

I cook that on occasion for my husband, who likes it. I'm generally the oatmeal/kefir type myself but manage the fried stuff sometimes as well.

Fried bologna is a better choice than bacon, because you have to add the grease. (See note below.). Recipe: Heat the grease, fry bologna until somewhat scorched around the edges. Try to use old-fashioned thick-cut type with real beef and fat and carcinogens if you can get it, none of that thinly sliced minimal-preservative stuff and with chicken added. Best if all, if you find it, something called bologna rings, which I remember from childhood, containing presumably even more carcinogens. "Carcinogens" is another word for "vitamins." Make sure to fry the bologna until it is scorched around the rim before adding the eggs and letting them soak up the scorch. I use canola oil to fry the bologna and eggs in, because I believe in health foods.

Note: Bacon grease is better reserved as an addition to greens and blackeyed peas, to make the next meal healthful too.

Actually, I tend to stay with salads and tuna, well known for pesticides and mercury contamination. But if I were cooking healthful--. :eek:

I believe I first read this in a James Beard cookbook.

Bread
Generous Mayo
Peanut Butter
3 slices of the worst 'american' cheese

Egg dipped, flour dredged, ends pressed like a ravioli, deep fried.

Alternatively, Bacon wrapped fried oreos.

Oh, the Italian 'Mozzarella en carozza' (sp?) cheese inside, same method, delicious!

I have only seen this sandwich eaten, it really doesn't fit my profile of food I want to attempt :D

Sounds better in Italian. Especially since Italians don't do peanut butter. Without the PB it might be a winner.

The Italian one is good! I've made it, and lived to tell the tale ;) provided you have one portion, it is fine - probably less fat and fewer calories than in most pizza slices in the US!

Even better, my dad used to first pan-toast bread in the bacon grease and THEN scramble the eggs. Mighty tasty, but I'm pretty sure that this contributed to an early death.

Ohhhhh memories of brownies (the younger girl scouts, not the dessert!)

We stayed in this little cottage for 'pack holiday', and the leaders made fried breakfast each morning, and did the fried bread - first time I ever had it - in the bacon fat.

My Dad did this too. He also cooked pancakes with bacon grease.

I think traditional pound cake is a pretty unhealthy recipe
Pound of Butter
Pound Of Sugar
Pound of Eggs
Flour, salt etc.

Yep. There's been a big pot of this at pretty much every midwestern funeral luncheon I've been to.

There were 2 big baking dishes of them at the Midwestern Easter brunch I attended this year. I ate a lot. :o

My church just produced a cookbook if anyone is interested.:p

Anything made by Epicmealtime qualifies I think :P

Had a friend that introduced me to bacon gravy for breakfast.

Fry up a bunch of bacon. Use the fat to make a "sawmill gravy" (roux with flour, then add milk and generous amount of pepper).

Serve over biscuits, toast, pieces of cardboard...whatever.

lethal.

My mother used to make a breakfast dish that consisted, as far as I could tell, of:

4 packs of refrigerated, store-bought biscuit dough* (so 40 biscuits), with each biscuit cut into quarters, then rolled in a mix of brown sugar, cinammon, and butter, then mashed together in a bundt pan, then drizzled with more brown sugar and butter, and then baked. The butter:brown sugar:biscuit weight ratio was probably something like 1:1:1.

Done properly, the dish has a really hard (but sweet) shell and a soft (but sweet) interior.

It probably isn't that unhealthy, but it has to have a ton of sugar in it and I'm shocked that I wasn't diagnosed with diabetes growing up.



*And since we were poor, we weren't buying the healthy stuff, but more like the cheapest, bottom of the bin stuff that is full of chemically created compounds and substances. Nowadays, I can't eat the stuff without wretching, and it is home made biscuits for me or nothing.

Don't forget your statin!

No true Texan will eat beans in their chili..that is a YANKEE thang, as I learned visiting friends in the northeast :p

REAL Frito Pie is yes, Fritos...with real chili (no beans) with cheese and onions, if desired....^ Come to Austin when the weather cools off and I will cook you the best bean free chili that will make killer Frito Pie..LOL!!!!

I have only eaten breakfast at Cracker Barrel. About 10 times, which is 9 more than I would have if I was calling the shots. Their 'hashbrown casserole' is possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted at breakfast in an American restaurant. Their 'country gravy' spackling paste is a close second.

This is my favourite


thick slice of bread fried with a generous helping of butter.
Spread butter and orange marmalade on top
2 fried eggs and 2 sausages
Cover with a slice of toasted bread.

What? No butter and marmalade on the second piece of toast? :confused:

What? No butter and marmalade on the second piece of toast? :confused:

No. I actually forgot about the HP brown sauce that I put over the
Sausages.

I dont put any marmalade or butter on the second piece of toast so that it would look healthy from the top

The combination of the butter, marmalade , egg yolk and sausages with
HP brown sauce is amazing.

Streak frites have to be right up there:

French Fries
Steak
Gravy

Oh but they're soooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooood.

This one got a lot of publicity back in 2006, on various news sites.

http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/entertainment/food_and_drink/s/203972_snickers_pie_is_unhealthiest_ever

I've made it a few times, it's pretty decent.

One of the worst (and one of my all time favorites) has to be Key lime pie. Egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice baked in a shell of crushed Graham crackers, butter and sugar. And if you're "wise," you'll top it off with a large dollop of fresh sweetened whipped cream. :)

Substitute a good homemade salsa for the hot sauce, put it in burrito form, and you have an outstanding breakfast. One of my favorites, and I'm good until a light dinner.

In Australia quite a few fish & chip shops sell deep fried Mars bars.

+1 except I'd keep some of the hot sauce and still add the salsa (or use a moderately hot salsa)

Salsa and hot sauce are healthy. They shouldn't be mentioned here. ;)

Most of the dishes I order in mainland China (particularly at Hunanese and Sichuanese restaurants) are served drowning in oil. Though those are two of my favorite (by far) Chinese cuisines, it's no ball of fun the rest of the day.

Also, how about Filipino food in general? Steak and fried rice for brekkie, longaniza for lunch and pork blood stew and pork offal for dinner?

I actually find authentic chinese foods much LESS greasy than in the US, however I have done a lot more northern china, I really like it a lot better. Yes the sweet crazy stuff in the US is just horrible. In the north they use almost exclusively sunflower oil which is just amazingly light and drains well.
