Chips & Cheese : How bad is it really ?

monitorlizard · 14-11-2009, 09:06 PM

Where I stay in the UK, this seems to be the stable diet. Shops
are queued up with many dozens eating as much as they can,
and this is at lunchtime.

Not any alternative places to eat for reasonable prices. Lunch,
dinner and after pub food, it's Chips "n" Cheese, curry sauce optional,
well in some places...

I'm not a fan of the stuff myself, prefer to have a pub lunch
and avoid the chips.

Cheep are cheerful. You can get twice as much as this in the photo
for £1.20 where stay. They que up to feed their lard habits

Wow looks yummy, but I imagine I'd feel like crap after it. It's comfort food, it's tasty and easy to eat, but the after effects are bad.

Nutrition wise you wouldn't get much from it at all, it does a lot more harm than good.

Potato carbs + fried in crappy oil = lots of how can i put it, er fat storage.

The salt will help too.

Good for if you are about to trek across the sahara. One for you, a few for the camel to top up its hump.

Yeah potatoes are relatively cheap though, i see peeps here going at it too, hamburgers are getting pricey.

But pasta is cheap too, add some decent stir thru sauce and its fast easy and better for you if a carb hit is what the craving is.

But one will definately lose weight if they cut back carbs (especially potatoes) and eat more lean red and white meat, fish and vegetables.

If you put that photo on a billboard in Hollywood...

Everyone would run away screaming...attack of the killer carbs.

Probably one of the worst things you could eat and class as a meal, then theres the portion size.

Potatoes are just bad for us anyhows, members of the deadly nightshade family after all. i have to seriously limit my intake of any potato. but i do like wedges, and cheesey wedges are mouth wateringly good.

No not tried those combinations yet, but I might have to give em a go sometime....

But I doubt that chocolate sauce on chips could beat cheese imo

No, never had chocolate and cheese........no wait, yes I have......

I've posted this before....the deadly, but gastronomically intoxicating Godiva Chocolate cheese cake from The Cheesecake Factory (a restaurant chain)

It earns the label of orgasmically delicious

Also in the Solanaceae familily are tomatoes, eggplant and peppers.

None of these, including the potato, have the Deadly Nightshade poison in them.

By your argument, we should be able to get high on backyard poppies!

The family has nothing to do with it. If my brother murdered someone would it make me a killer?

You sound like a eugenesist.

Eeewe YUCK! Looks like the clean up bucket after someone was ill...

Sorry to you folks who said it looked yummy but to me it looks like sick n diarrhea in a tray.

I had never come across this cheesy chips meal until I moved to Scotland, they have some very odd food here lol, but who am I to talk when my hometown is world famous for black pudding

Chips dipped in soft ice cream 'n chocolate sauce, it was too tempting not to when Nicki, my eldest, bought a mc-flurry while i was eating chips,

It sounds wrong, but i can't tell you how nice that is. It's too nice not to try
