Happily, none of those things appeal to me. BUT, before my eyes
focussed, I thought the first pic was of strawberry shortcake--and
that DOES appeal to me.

Oh, and it was you who mentioned strawberries for breakfast. I am
just waiting for our local ones to be ready. Seems to me, I have
to wait until June.

They contacted Carin (my ex-wife) and asked her to let them put

I'm still looking, but damn some of that stuff is creative! :-)
And a few items are actually low carb...

I'm going back to look some more. I left off at the bacon cinnamon roll,
which is NOT low carb. <g>

The bacon and egg "cones" would make a good party item.

Thanks for posting that. How fun!

Ok, this has been my favorite so far:

Breakfast Cake

Two layers of egg, sausage, bacon, cheese quiche with country gravy in
between, topped with gravy icing garnished with bacon bits.

Only problem is, country gravy is generally made with flour.

We're getting close to strawberry time in St. Louis. I suspect I'll be
making shortcake for the Memorial Day Fambly Extravaganza as usual.

The Bacone looked good, and so did the Carne Asada Fries. It was just
french fries with some protein added.

After dinner I will look at more photos. I have mixed feelings about
it; half of the photos made me sick, the other half made me hungry. lol

I made the mistake of making strawberry pie for Easter this year.
I need to remind myself that I should be making that during our
short strawberry season.

Sooo, dare I ask... biscuits or cake?

Nothing could replace Momma's and Grandmomma's biscuits for Strawberry
Shortcake. Yes....they were made with lard.

They taught me well.........sponge cake is what lazy people bought at
the market and tried to make us believe it would be good. They
missed the boat....and probably tried to pawn off Cool Whip as
something we should like.

Oh my! Thanks for the comment about the lard. I am going to have
to look into that now that I have a source for it.

We don't have them every week...but a lard pie crust is something that
will bring back memories of how things used to taste.....and the
flakiness will amaze your grandkids.

My wife makes the biscuits with butter, and serves them with whipped cream.

So do I. I freeze the butter then grate it on a box grater so it is in
cold little bits. It makes a really nice biscuit and pie crust.

OMG... I lost my appetite just looking at it!

I went through three pages of photos and none of them sounded familiar
except the "hamburger" cake which is just a cake decorated to look
like a hamburger, but the one they showed was amateurish and ugly.

I use butter but am intrigued with the lard. I really like your
idea of grating the butter!!!!

That is a great idea for making pie crusts, thanks for mentioning that.
I have used grated butter when I made scones, for the topping on coffee
cakes, and when making oven-baked French toast.


I spray the grater with Pam and I am careful not to soften the butter
with my hands. If I need a lot of butter, I will use a chilled bowl or
plate, then I refrigerate the butter until needed. I tried to use cold,
refrigerated butter, but that did not work.

I make large shortcakes from buttermilk biscuit dough in round cake
pans, then cut wedges to order for serving.

At least it's not cake. You remind me that many years ago, I made
massive biscuits, but not in a pan.

No, do you? Not even when I had the huge appetite and fast metabolism
of youth. I assumed this thread was a joke when it started but then
some of the responses seemed approving, as though they were interested
in these mammoth conglomerations of fat. That's what prompted me to
respond. Probably shouldn't have. I eat things that other people
don't like; if people want to eat this kind of thing, okay. -aem

I don't know a single soul, I don't even know of any place that sells
it. You're in the SFBA, aren't you? Can you think of any restaurant
selling stuff (I can't call it food) like that - even if it's a joke?

I think your taste is more native asian than mine. In any case, I
can't imagine eating anything I saw on that site... and I wasn't
interested enough to go beyond page two.
