Even my tastebuds are gagging

posted by on September 29 at 15:48 PM

I am an ardent fan of trashy foods—my favorite party snack is cocktail weenies wrapped in bacon, covered in brown sugar and then baked until crisp—but everything about this sentence leaves me horrified: Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes and Sausage (on a stick).


The picture doesn’t help. ugh.

Has anyone actually tasted this? Am I being snobby here?

if morningstarfarms or gardenburger made a veggie version of this, I would by a lifetime supply.

Oh, SEATTL98104! Did you have to post that right before dinner?

How _could_ you make a veggie version of something so wholly unhealthy?



*gag*

So, are you guys just slogging boingboing today or what? Not that it's a bad thing, but I mean, credit where credit is due!

Actually, David, I didn't get this off of boing boing. A friend and I were discussing this new! JD product, and I stole the image from here:

Not that I don't love me some boing boing.

This reminds me of one of my favorite Web sites: Gallery of Regrettable Food.

Wow, I find that just incredibly amazing. Internet zeitgeist, anyone?

Comically bad foods can make the rounds like that, I guess...

I am so with Seattle98104 on this one.

You're always a snob, Madrid.

You need to try a little smokey baked into a reeces cup or my favorite, an entire country fried chick breast baked into an apple pie.

I would be interested to see the nutritional info, not that I would even dare eating one! ;-)

Dammit, I'll see you all that crap food and raise you . . . NATTO!

If you think you can stomach all that vile sh*t then go down to Uwajimaya and find a lovely little tub of natto. Don't be afraid! It's healthy and toothsome. (Giggle) Chop a little scallion, heat the natto in the microwave, and sprinkle the scallion on the heated natto. And enjoy! :-)

Then come on back and tell me all about it.

Damn. I'd probably eat the veg version, too. I really like Morningstar Farms mini-faux corndogs!

What? You don't want to eat complete and utter shit and you're questioning whether you're being snobby?

Uh. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Go back to Tokyo, Sachi. The rest of Japan can't disagree with your more, and there is no sense dragging bad habits to this side of ocean. You should really have more respect for scallions..8-D

Wimp. Can't handle a few fermented soybeans. And I thought Seattle was a cultured city.

Posted by Sachi | September 29, 2006 8:24 PM

Sachi, Seattle isn't a cultured city. Seattle is full of inakamono(bumpkins)who believe they are cultured. Feeding them a few fermented soybeans will only cause them confusion with regard to their quaint ideas about Japanese culture. Some things are too difficult for Seattleites and most Japanese to understand...Natto is one of them...

That looks like something that should be served in suppository form.

I love chocolate.

I love sausage.

I love pancakes.

But these three delicious items do NOT belong together. On a stick. That's just wrong.

The pancake wrapped around a sausage I can understand. Maybe. But who the fuck thought a chocolate chip pancake was a good idea?

Why don't we just include a nacho cheese cup while we're at it?

At least it would be very difficult to get natto to stay glued to a stick. We should be thankful for that.

Now Sachi, let's not give anyone any ideas...

You could dip your stick into it the Natto, wrap with a thick skin of tofu and fry the whole mess. A Tofu/Natto on a stick (kushi). After frying, dip the stick in a bowl filled with Bulldog Sauce to kill the Natto taste and smell. Make sure you have copious amounts of Osake of Shochu to accompany your fried Natto on stick and to deaden its odious taste.

Ewwwwww... This looks icky. I'll take an eggplant sandwhich any day. Food like this is why Red State idiots stay stupid.

Red State types are usually inbred poor people. They each chocolate chip pancakes. I really hate the Red States. Vegan Food rules.

gross. disgusting. should never have been made. example of the sorry state of america and it's fat laziness today. anyone who eats it willingly and enjoys it has zero taste.

Sadness fills my heart when I imagine the pitiful Red State children who will be exposed to this poison. Fresh organic vegetables and sustainable staples should be the only food sold in America.

Everywhere I go I demand organic food and beverages. If everyone would do the same we could rid the world of Jimmy Dean sausages forever.

"my favorite party snack is cocktail weenies wrapped in bacon, covered in brown sugar and then baked until crisp"

Fun! Do you have the recipe? I'm not good at winging it....

As for the Gallery of Regretable Food: It's a fun site, but don't dig too deep into James Lileeks politics, unless you like retardlican reactionaries.

I let out an audible gasp at the sight of that. Why? Literally nauseous over here.

It's the god given right of every red blooded American to give themselves colon cancer in any manner that they see fit.

For us godless pinkos-pack your bags for a trip to sunny Guantanamo!

This delicacy brushed with Castor Oil and sprinkled with chocolate ExLax would render it a veritable "Anal Treat" (perhaps this recipe should be forwarded to Martha Stewart).
