I know about Monte Christos all right… I’d love to try one soon.

Chili Fries, while similar to Poutine, not so much…

I live in the Los Angeles area so there is alot of health conscious food round here so in order to get delightful artery killers i have to create them myself or go to specific restaurants. but i have to say one of my favorites that some folks may find nasty is the monte christo sandwich. essentially a ham and turkey sandwich with swiss cheese deep fried and served with fruit preserves and powdered sugar… mmm… also legends chili fries, greasy chilly on specialy seasoned fries with pastrami, red onions and cheese on top… delicious. i dunno if that seems nasty to others but it is a delightully unhealthy dish…

Never could bring myself to eat one but NJ’s most famous sandwich the Fat Darrell deserves a mention. Created at the (in)famous Grease Trucks at Rutgers University the Fat Darrell consists of chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, french fries, marinara sauce and/or mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes and onions on a submarine roll.

Other “fat” sandwiches exist as well including the Fat Cat: two cheeseburgers, french fries, lettuce, tomato and onions on a single sub roll.

visit fatdarrell.com if you really feel the need to read up on the history of the gem in New Jersey history.

Graham, correct you are. Calling soft ice cream custard is one of my many bad habits - my family always used ‘frozen custard’ interchangeably with ’soft serve’. The local ice cream place where I grew up was named The Custard Stand, even though they didn’t serve frozen custard at all, but rather soft serve. Having recently sampled actual frozen custard (yes, with eggs and milk) at another local place trying to make a name for itself, it is rich beyond imagining and only to be enjoyed by the health conscious in small amounts. I had a little on a spoon (followed by about 50 more servings of a little on a spoon).

Graham: but you do put bacon in your ice cream, right? I thought Canadians put bacon in everything.

One of my favourite foods is from a street vendor stall that specialises in Hungarian cuisine.

Langos, a deep fried potato/flat bread. Topped with garlic, salt, a sour cream and yogurt sauce and cheese, and served piping hot - absolutely to die for.

While the shake sounds like it might be pretty good, Skelly, custard is most definitely not soft-serve ice cream.

I mean, custard has eggs in it! Eggs in ice cream? Madness, I tell you!

(From what I can tell, Frozen Custard seems to be a dish relegated to the eastern and midwestern US. We don’t get it in Canada, and whenever I see the commercials for a US place, it makes my arteries clog.)
