There are certain foods out there that I usually eat once, and then not again for an extremely long time. Why is that? Well, I’d eat such foods because they taste great–there’s certainly no denying fact. It’s just that perhaps the food is far too rich, or that the food leaves you feeling horrible for having just ingested it.
At this moment I can think of two or three items that fall into this category for me.
The Whopper and Big Mac
Oh, man, what’s with these burgers? It’s not hard to end up just getting a combo with either of these sandwiches. I mean, you can get fries and a drink just for a little extra: why would you pass that up, right? Anyway, for sure. the hanburgers are really good, but inevitably I’ll end up feeling gross for eating the darn things. Perhaps it’s the effect of the combo? I’m not sure that’s the case because I have a better tolerance for burgers and fries found in non-chain places. Seriously though, in the rare occasion that I find myself in a BK or McD’s, those two burgers are what I’d gravitate toward. Good thing is, after finishing it, I usually make a mental note to avoid it for a good long while. I mean, who needs to feel gross and bloated on a regular basis?
Cinnamon bun
Jesus, talk about rich. From a chain place, these things are waaaay too loaded. The inner cinnamon spread tends to be really sweet. The dough as a whole is kind of heavy. The icing on top is just killer. All in all, after eating one I feel like it’s way too much. It’s good, but sickeningly sweet. Gross.
So yeah, what foods do you have on your own version of this list?

Totally agree on the cinnamon buns! I find that with most fast food places, you just feel slightly sick afterward.
My big one is KFC! Sometimes it’s good, but mostly it’s so greasy it makes me feel ill just thinking about it!

Oh yeah, I know what you mean about KFC. Popeye’s too, but that place doesn’t seem to be that bad for me.

The cookies n’ cream cake that I wrote about yesterday is pretty much what kills me everytime.

I watched them make those cinnamon rolls once. They actually roll pads of butter up in them before they back them. When I was in High School my family lived in a rural area and My Mom would take me to a Big Mall about an hour from our house once a year to shop for school clothes. We always started out morning splitting one of the Cinnabons. The thought was it would give us lots of energy for the shopping ahead.

@Kat: Next time, you should take a picture of the cake–then one of you eating the cake. Maybe it’ll be a deterrent of sorts? I don’t know.
@Anne: Oh man, I’m not surprised at all that they stick butter right in the middle of it all; we all know those are pretty high calorie. I think I like your mom’s approach though–splitting one bun makes it all a bit more manageable.
This picture is was taken about 6 years ago in university residence–probably the last time I had a bun like this.
