Nothing beats a cheap slice of pepperoni pizza

– Costco Maaaan!My Costco has an 810 calorie chocolate chip cookie. When I first saw that I was like how tf do you cram the better part of 1000 calories into ONE cookie lol
Fat is the most calorie-dense food available. So that’s one big piece of butter mixed with sugar, some flour, aromas, and cacao fat.
Yeah if you’ve ever made your own sugar cookies, you start them by taking a warm stick of butter and folding in several cups of sugar.
So an adults daily calorie intake is covered by ~3 cookies? That’s insane
Science! That feels like those extremely strong nicotine pouches, it’s just too much of the good stuff crammed into one small thing.
Why would you get the ice cream/froyo AND a soda?
Can you go to Costco without getting a hotdog?
I’m vegetarian, so i can no longer eat those. It’s all good tho.
The pizza is a good substitute
It is indeed good! I usually go after dinner these days though, so never really get a chance to eat it anymore.
I was vegetarian when I worked there, very grateful as I probably would be dead of solid arteries after 3 weeks. I like that Ikea has vegan dogs, wish Costco had something similar.
Team pizza and churro here! Never the hot dog
Hot dog is optional.
The $5 rotisserie chicken is not
Genuinely don’t like their hotdogs at all. Not at bad as IKEA but there’s something just off about them.
I’ve been a member for 3+ years and literally never bought the hotdog. Why would I go to Costco hungry? That sounds like a good way to buy a bunch of junk I don’t really want.
What? That’s like going to Ikea and not getting meatballs
IKEA is a furniture store. This is not a good comparison.
Hence the hotdog lol
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.
now imagine drinking it after you just had Pizza+Soda
I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.
And a hazelnut vodka.
There are many ways for a heart to implode.
Zaseka?
Hot roast chicken skin chopped onto rice is a meal fit for the gods.
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.
Eating animal parts totally makes me feel like a Ferengi eyeing your latinum ring.
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.
Wow you got down voted for the truth
There’s a lot of options to eat well however
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.
High super consumption has much more impact on heart health than fats as well.
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.
Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.
I live in Scotland, our chip shops do deep fried battered pizza. Get on our levels.
Or a piece an’ Macaroni Pie. Carb in Carb in Carb. I’m sure you could get the pie battered too in the right chip shop.
If you eat a battered macaroni pie in a roll and down it with Irn Bru, Highland Cathedral will start playing out of nowhere.
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’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.
We do have deep fried cheesesteaks
I think maybe I could go for some deep fried cheesecake
They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.
State fair’s only around for one time a year, my local chippy is open all year around.
Deep Fried Butter. Stick of fat wrapped in carbs fried in more fat. I don’t think that can be topped.
Deep fried mars bar?
Fuck, now I want pizza
I have now had homemade pizza that was delicious but word of advice
Don’t eat a whole pizza for breakfast and lunch combined at the same time
Two separate pizzas for breakfast and lunch, got it.
We could only hope it kills more dumb americans…
Italians will cook your pasta inside a whole wheel of cheese. Spaniards deep fry pork belly and serve it as a snack. Last time I was in Eastern Europe I thought something was a sweet only to discover it was a lump of straight-up pork fat. Just raw. To munch on.
Americans may be more consistent at eating gross murderfood regularly and in large quantities, but they sure aren’t the only ones to have it.
The big difference is in the details.
Italians dont cook your pasta in that wheel. They throw it in there and shove it around. Its no comparison to that center console by any stretch. The countries that munch on raw fat are usually freezing cold and very rough in terms of manual labor conditions. People burn through double the amount of calories or more if they have heavy manual labor and cold climate.
Maybe not the spaniards though. ;)
You’ve never been to the Po Valley. We fry mortadella here.
Oh god… I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting “that’s a Jägerschnitzel” and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.
I recommend looking up what an Irish breakfast roll is. Thank me later.
🤤
As an European, I cannot comprehend the width of that centre console. 2 drinks side-by-side AND some extra? Must be a full eagle screech wtf is a kilometer V8 mortr truck.
In some cases it’s actually 3 drinks side by side…
Generally the center consoles of full sized trucks and SUVs is as large as it is because people on construction sites wanted a file cabinet holder center console. So it can hold an 8.5 x 11 or A4 sized paper horizontally in the center with a holder.
Fun fact:
It’s “a European” since the pronunciation starts with “ˌjʊ”. Similar thing with “university”.
I’m not trying to be a dick but to spread information.
Ok, that’s all. Thank you for reading :)
That be a truck, the center console can be flipped up to have a central seat in trucks where the shifter is on the steering column or besides the real (dial in Ram trucks).
When I was a kid, I remember being impressed that my dad’s Dodge Ram could fit an entire laptop in the center console, horizontally.
Hah! In Scotland we dip pizza in batter and deep fry it. With a deep-fried Mars bar for afters.

I’m calling Gordon Ramsey on your ass.
Gordon Ramsey would deep fry that pizza in wagyu tallow.
The first bug eave of immigrants to the US were the Scotch-Irish, which is where the American propensity to deep fry everything comes from.
You can aslo the American usurpation and economic dominance over England as those Scotch-Irish getting their revenge.
Time to make a pilgrimage
Get drunk before having it, but if you’re coming here you were probably going to do that anyway
Guys, guys, there’s no point in intercontinental squabbling, we should focus on the real enemy, uh… teleporting space squid
Wait… is that a reference to the original Watchmen comic?
You know it
That deep fried creme egg looks naughty
