You'll see in a minute. I was all ready for some serious blogging today about universal healthcare (we need it, just do it), maybe short congrats to Justice Sotomayor (yay!! she's #111 of the Supremes). But no, instead I'm compelled to share this bit of fluff. Heavy fluff.
To
day, first time we got to Ikea early enough for breakfast! Good, cheap, 2 bucks.Scoop of scrambled eggs, fried potato cubes, bacon, French toast sticks.
When I got home I went straight to a search engine.
Looked up: "french toast sticks" calories
Bad? Sure. Over 100 cal per stick; three sticks on the plate. Ate 'em all. Fat calories? Mostly. Go for amazing nutritional details here and here. If you dare.
Then I looked for "french toast sticks" images. Here's the prize pic.
Baconhenge.
It came from a user on sports blog compendium SB*NATION who goes by mcboomofdoomand has a passion for bacon,
Click his link above, scroll down for pic and caption. Plus more bacon stuff.
I guessed right. That glop the bacon-wrapped toast-stick pillars arise from is a fritatta.
Whatta guy, whatta thing, whatta guy-thing.
Turning 180 degrees from Baconhenge back to Ikea, check these vegetarian-friendly Ikea breakfast offerings, probably from Singapore or Shanghai. Whatever the .sg domain extension means. Just guessing.
After looking at the menu.

Stop making fun of those names.
Stop snickering. I mean it.
Stop snickering. I mean it.
Baconhenge looks like a science fair project gone wrong.
ReplyDeleteImagine the plaque buildup in the arteries with a steady diet of this kind of stuff.
I had two pieces of bacon while on vacation, but for the most part these items here remind me why I lean toward the veggie side of food consumption (that, and the knowledge of how much money it costs to raise the animals for meat and how much more food could be produced with that money if used to raise grain).

If you went all that way to Ikea, try the Swedish Meatballs with Mash and Lingonberries.
ReplyDeletePork being on sale in the store, I convess to eating more bacon for weekend breakfast on toasted bagels no less!
