What was the most unhealthy thing you've ever eaten?

[Squatch]

Can be anything from a Geno's Cheesesteak with extra whiz to a box of straight razors. What was the one item that you ingested that could have actually damaged you?

For me, I would have to say the durian milkshake I made once. I thought it would be a good way to make a healthy fruit smoothie. My wife didn't like it, so I downed the whole durian, myself. Well, as it turns out, you can overdose on the potassium it contains (and DIE!), and it increases your metabolism (so you could have a heart attack and DIE!).

[MrCoffee]

1. a handful of red pills that some girl at a concert handed me

no idea who she was. just gave me 4 little red pills and said, "merry christmas" (it was june or july).

it was probably pretty damn stupid of me to eat them.

[Taverner]

42. Well...

What'd they do?

[KitchenWitch]

2. Um, I plead the fifth.

I was a bit wild during my teen years.

[DS1]

3. Probably a pastrami sub a few months ago

I dried it up the best I could, but it was still incredibly greasy

[azmouse]

4. foie gras

I didn't like it and wouldn't eat it again, especially now knowing how badly the animal is treated to make it.

[Shell Beau]

5. Fried Snickers!!

And let me tell you a Snickers needs no help to be yummy!

[BluePatriot]

26. Ditto on a Fried Snickers

Fried Oreos too...

[MonkeyFunk]

6. I'm still alive

so I guess none of it was THAT unhealthy.

[Rambis]

7. Scotch egg

For those of you who don't know...
take a hard boiled egg-
roll it in sausage and bread crumbs
and deep fry it- Yum yum!

For desert a deep fried candy bar of your choice-

[redqueen]

30. I had a chance to try one at a restaurant.

They wanted $8 for the thing!

Pfft.

[Rambis]

33. Bollocks!

I wouldn't pay that- Well maybe after 8+ pints but curry chips and kabab are cheaper!

[redqueen]

34. I nearly did...

I had to eat something to offset some of the alcohol. :P

God how I want to move over there...

[seemunkee]

45. I love those things

Going to the pub on Sunday, I'll have to order one to go with the haggis.

[Rambis]

62. cheers!

You don't know how lucky you are to be able to go to the pub and get a good pint. Smithwicks and Guinness are shadows of their former selves here in America.

[seemunkee]

65. Umm, I'm in the states too

What I would love to find is a good pint of bitters. I might have to brew some next weekend
This is a the Scottish pub I go to regularly
http://www.royalmilepub.com/

[Rambis]

71. Nice

I don't even have that in the middle of nowhere Iowa. Great for the family but not for the craic. There are a two pubs but they are a long way from home and the food is substandard. If I ever cross the border I will try and visit the pub you linked.

[Blue-Jay]

51. One of the most perfect foods ever devised.

[genieroze]

76. MacDonalds steak breakfast bagle.

With all that garlic butter sauce. Yummy

[LSK]

8. McDonalds

[MissMillie]

63. yeah.. the McGriddle for sure

sweet, salty, fatty, cheesy....

delicious.

I only allow myself 4 a year.

[AlCzervik]

9. a deep fried twinkie.

i also have duck but only twice a year because it's so damn greasy---and delicious. I'm pretty sure that isn't good for me.

[Xipe Totec]

10. Roasted Armadillo

They are carriers of Hansen's disease.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Chugging garlic butter dipping sauce...

The kind they give you with the pizza to dip the crusts in. I did it once in college for some money.

[guitar man]

12. I'd tell you

but it would probably get the thread locked :evilgrin:

[quip]

13. EEEWWWW! I hope to God that you aren't going here:

Yikes

[guitar man]

16. lol, no

it wasn't that :scared:

[quip]

17. Just tweaking; I think I know what you meant, you

naughty boy! :evilgrin:

[ruiner4u]

44. ill never be able to eat soft serve frozen yogurt again..

[Adsos Letter]

61. Dead flies out of a window sill...

...when I was about 2...other than that, probably something I ate in the army...there were several unidentifiable meals of suspicious texture...

[CreekDog]

28. Actually, that's pretty common, it's all over our food supply

Just read the papers!

[quip]

14. Everything at the MN State Fair marketed on a stick!

[1monster]

15. Divinity candy... Talk about a sugar high!!!

DH says KFC...(that triple bypass cured him of craving KFC for life...

[kwassa]

18. Krispy Kreme doughnuts

[ohiosmith]

19. The best unhealthy thing I ever ate was a Kobe beef burger with lobster meat, foie gras, and bleu

cheese. Oh, fries too.

[nomorenomore08]

22. Jesus Christ! How much did that set you back?

nt

[ohiosmith]

24. With beers, around $70.00.

[TrogL]

20. Shit - hey, you asked

No, I don't want to talk about it.

[nomorenomore08]

21. I guess technically, magic mushrooms (considered inedible).

As far as actual food, I'd say either the Triple Whopper from Burger King (many times), or the 2.5 pounds of London broil I ate once on a dare.

[Throd]

23. Something called a "Francheesy" in Chicago

It was a Polish dog stuffed with cheese and wrapped with four strips of bacon served on fried cheese bread. This was placed on a bed of onion rings of course. I ordered it only because it sounded so, well, wrong.

[Gonzo Gardener]

25. This bag of baby spinach...

[CreekDog]

27. A Debris Sandwich at Mother's in New Orleans

And I would do it again.

Good thing I don't live there.

from wikipedia:

"The roast beef po' boy is generally served hot with gravy, known as "debris" because it is made with pieces of meat that fall in as the roast cooks. At Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans, one can see the pans in which the ham and beef is roasted and from which the debris is made"

[likesmountains 52]

60. I had the debris with breakfast....yumm...but you're right..it's a good thing that we're

not tempted by that very often!

[nedbal]

29. it was called an "Onion Loaf" one big mass of greasy onion rings in a bread loaf pan, I Swore..

off French Fries and normal onion rings for a decade after eating that. Now I will eat french fries or onion rings about once every 2 weeks. Since I'm no fan of Outbacks politics I've yet to see what their specialty onion thing looks or tastes like.

[redqueen]

31. Probably something I found

in a garbage can.

Or... some food I left out overnight. I do that from time to time.

[mikeytherat]

32. Milky Way Cake - over 20,000 calories JUST IN THE FROSTING

mikey_the_rat

[eyepaddle]

35. A deep-fried patty melt.

What the hell was I thinking?

And then of course there wa the fish I was allergic too--that I found out about by having a reaction to!

That kinda sucked as well.

[Sequoia]

36. Cow liver.

As a kid, I had to eat that once a week (sometimes twice) for 9 straight years except for maybe 2 weeks in the summer and if Christmas fell on Wednesday.

[Javaman]

37. Alive or dead? nt

[doc03]

38. Milk Bone Dog Biscuits

[dembotoz]

39. most of my mom's cooking

wonderful mother
love her lots and lots
but god-she is an awful cook

[applegrove]

40. Poutine. A french Canadian thing. Fries, gravy and cheese curds. Fat to the power of 3.

[momto3]

68. I love poutine!

I had it for the first time last winter in Vancouver. I am so glad that I cannot find it in the States. I think I ate enough of it to take several years off of my life!

[Shine]

41. deep-fried twinkie

:puke:

[Taverner]

43. Toss up between raw pork in Thailand or food sprayed with Baygon

[seemunkee]

46. Foi gras burger w/ a side of foi gras gravy poutine

That was the richest meal I have ever had.

[Sugar Smack]

47. The Creamed Spinach at Boston Market.

:o

[LostInAnomie]

48. A Monster Thick Burger from Hardees

I can feel my chest tightening as I type it.

[The Inquisitive]

49. A super burger from great lost bear in Portland

1/2lb of fatty ground beef
a fried egg
3 kings of cheese, 1 was American, the other two I don't really know
Chilly
Bacon
Onion Rings

ugh.

[cutlassmama]

50. Breakfast at What-A-Burger

Eggs, Pancakes, Sausage, Bacon, Hash Brown Potatoes with a large Dr. Pepper. I used to eat that daily for a year, then came up with Diabetes. I don't eat it anymore.

[toadzilla]

52. someone will be cooking fried coke at my house next week

the cult of small tasty things is throwing a small foods party at my place! carnival themed.

[pink-o]

53. Probably a Steak and Kidney Pie

...when I was 18, living in England and not yet a vegetarian. But I was such an ignorant Yank, I thought the kidneys would be kidney beans. What an unpleasant surprise.

:puke:

Luckily, I never tried any of the other UK "delicacies". Like Tripe, Black Pudding, or Haggis.

[mzteris]

54. Durian?

You could DIE from the smell alone!!!!!

How could you possibly drink enough to have it be dangerous? It tastes like gasoline with honey with a big helping of - - - something really nasty.

[YankeyMCC]

55. Double Whopper with Extra Cheese and a large Fries nt

[Initech]

56. A pastrami sandwich from The Hat:

It's a chain in LA, and they're the size of a football. Observe:

http://pics.livejournal.com/chubbypanda/pic/001zze2h

[NorthernSpy]

57. bear

It tasted fine, but proved psychologically unhealthy to eat, because I still feel bad about it.

I was a kid at the time.

[otherlander]

58. This one time I found some water in a ditch next to the railroad tracks.

I was really thirsty and I drank it. I didn't get sick.

[Liberal Veteran]

59. Something at the Chinese buffet that smelled like heaven and tasted like fresh lava.....

It made me physically ill because it was so damned hot.

[Highway61]

64. Now...this has happened to all of us here

Grab a beer that you thought was yours at a party and took a big swallow only to find someones cigarette butt in it. UGH!!!!!!!:beer: :puke:

[1gobluedem]

66. Paczki

Big old greasy jelly doughnuts with six zillion calories, cooked in lard, available only on Fat Tuesday. One of them will sit like a rock in your stomach for days.

[cloudbase]

67. Chicken fried steak with all the goodies.

You can feel your arteries clogging while you're eating it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

69. I had a GREAT durian milkshake at a lunch counter adjoining...

...a SE Asian grocery store (that's where they got the durian).

See, you can't really get the stuff fresh in the US (trust me, you DON'T want to smell durian after it's gone bad), since it turns so fast. And frozen durian doesn't have the right consistency once it's thawed. But a milkshake? Brilliant!

[davsand]

70. Today?

That would be the Biscuits and Gravy from the local quickie mart. Lots of saturated fat, trans fats, and carbs...

I could feel my arteries hardening while I ate it.



As for a lifetime achievement of bad food, I'd probably have to say that the Hardees Big Beefy Burger thing with bacon and cheese coupled with the large order of onion rings and the Diet Coke probably is my all time "best" in bad eating. The Whopper meal is not much better, but it was without bacon at least.

(Insert a picture of some grossly obese animal here to illustrate my lifetime of bad eating habits.)

I am trying to redeem myself, however. I ate a Lean Cuisine stir fry with "whole wheat vermicelli" in it for lunch.




Laura

[Dr Fate]

73. Biscuits and Gravy is probably my all-time favortie food-really. n/t

n/t

[Dr Fate]

72. I used to dabble in competitive eating. Chili, cornbread, Christmas buffets, etc.

Usually unofficial and all in good fun at work parties.

Incidentally, I always won. This was back when I was in my 20s and had the metabolism for it. I'm one of those skinny guys who can eat almost anything...

[DarkTirade]

74. Must resist urge to be immature and say 'my ex'... must resist...

[bullwinkle428]

75. Easy - fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches, made on the

10th anniversary of Elvis' death. My brother and I each had to make one for ourselves, just to ingest a little piece of the legend, so to speak!

[Darth Lenore]

77. Meat

Unhealthy and cruel. DO NOT WANT!

[BreweryYardRat]

78. A dessert I used to put together at Sweet Tomatoes when I was a pre-teen.

Generally when I was really depressed from all the other kids treating me like shit.

Take a soup bowl. Crush up a brownie or two to line the bottom. Fill bowl above the brim with chocolate ice cream. Top with Oreos, chocolate syrup, and occasionally candy sprinkles. Repeat once, if really hungry.

I called it a "quadruple bypass."

I ate these things at least once a week on a regular basis from 11-13 years. In retrospect, I'm amazed I only need to lose 30 lbs to be at a healthy weight.

[Critters2]

79. Deep fried twinkie.

High cholesterol on a stick.
