Have y'all had the maple bacon doughnuts from Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, OR?

YUMMY!

Number one rule:

The only sweet foods that are to be eaten are those which are meant to be "sweets". Desserts, fruits, ice cream, candy, etc.

No other food shall taste noticeably sweet. This especially means meat. Pineapple or any other fruit shall never be served near meat. Sweet and sour is out, as is most teriyaki. Pineapple on pizza is an abomination. Any marinades with more than a trace amount of sugar are out. Most Korean BBQ beef - out. Sweet BBQ sauce on BBQ or grilled meat - out. Orange or citrus glazed anything - out. Etc.

Exception: On the extremely rare occasions that I eat pancakes or french toast w/maple syrup, I don't mind at all if some gets on my bacon, sausage, or eggs as long as they are sufficiently savory/salted to begin with.

Never, ever combine Gin, White Wine, Champagne, Beer and a raw hot dog. Trust me on this.

Sweet and sour tends to be pretty nasty.

Just like Lemon Chicken. Yucky.
Peceri nanas is good though http://myfoodilicious.blogspot.com/2...ple-curry.html

Sorry. Even I don't eat lemon chicken. And I've never heard of perceri nanas, but if that is Indian food made with curry I can't go near it.

Not all 'curry' comes from India....

Varieties of curry from the top of my head:

Japanese -(Katsu)
Thai
Malay (and Cape Malay - South Africa)
Indonesian
Indian (and neighbouring countries)
Caribbean curry

Here we are talking about a Malay/Indonesian curry. I am not sure really what you mean by 'made with curry' therefore.... Most curries do not contain curry leaves so curry just really means 'sauce made with spices', which doesn't tell you that much, for instance I make Jamaican curry with allspice and chilis (or hot sauce) at a minimum, but you can also make a curry for instance with black pepper and no chilis, and allspice is not used in Asian curry.... So yeah what is a 'curry'?

Tried to go on a long PDX layover last month, but the downtown location was closed.

Maple bacon sounds overwhelmingly pungent and sweet, though. I like my doughnuts a little lighter. I hear Top Pot in SEA has better actual donuts--maybe not quite as creative on the flavors/toppings, but better raw dough or whatever. I think I'd rather try them first.

All I know is that it was a Seattleite who sent me to Voodoo (see the +1000 above).

I dont think Top Pot is known for "light" donuts.

Shouldn't this be on a "trust me...things one shouldn't drink" thread? ...
Raw hot dog aside, I think the drink combo would do me in. What did we learn in college...beer before liquor, never been sicker? Or was the beer consumed last? I this case, would it make a difference? Fun overall thread!!!

I've had quite a few of their varieties, but that is not one of them.

No, no, no. Bacon, sausage with french toast, waffles, pancakes is perfect if real maple syrup is involved. Yummm.

Recent desperation dinner of french toast, bacon, syrup and over easy eggs was scary because I dipped the runny eggs into the syrup! Yecch, how could I do that? I don't mix stuff on the plate.

It was magnificent. Excellent!! Am having to rethink my food rules. But I do like things separate, not mixed together unless I'm doing the mixing.

Yes, there is something about that particular combo that breaks the rules. Once every year or two anyway.
