Hamdog

Karah has recently expressed concern about the lack of greens and variety in my diet. I know I'm not the picture of food pyramid perfection and I know I give in to temptation a little too often, but I'm not altogether upset with my diet. Could I use more broccoli? Sure.

Coincidentally, Mental_Floss posted a blog entry today about the worst foods ever. I've never indulged in any of these delicacies, although I believe there's a restaurant in Arden Hills that serves a version of the hamdog. What's that? In Mental_Floss' words: "Half hamburger, half hotdog, this bad boy is a hot dog wrapped in a beef patty, then deep fried and covered with chili, cheese, onions and topped with a fried egg."

First reaction? My heart hurts.
Second reaction? Hey, why no green peppers? Bacon?

In the right circumstances, I think my dad or brother could have come up with this monstrosity. With the exception of the deep fried part. My father was the type of eater who always mixed the items on his plate - basically no matter what it was. My brother also loves to smash foods together. I've been witness to some odd combinations in my day.

Yes, Karah, worse than mixing peanut butter, jelly, and cheese together in a sandwich...
