It is amazing how you can tuck the food away, and stay so skinny!

Looks like something my dog vomited the other day. *
I never understand the disgusting food Americans post on the Internet. Usually involving huge lumps of meat and lots of grease or fat, or, in this case, some undefinable mono-mass.. You guys must be a) really starved (admittedly in this case the amount of mass is less than average), b) as a consequence eat anything. It's almost as bad as the English.

I googled "gross Dutch food" and found this LE GEM that looks like a turd resting on a bed of Cheez Whiz:

The Dutch obsession with fried stuff is pretty scary. I've seen vending machines filled with various fried foods in train stations in the Netherlands ...
Here's what I do when I am home alone:
I dub it "Breakfast for Champions" served in two slices of toasted bread.

See that's the kinda simple comfort food that I love.
BTW, I thought it was the Scots who loved to fry everything.

I guess frying stuff is a global epidemic

They also love their FRIES in the Netherlands ...
I remember living abroad as a kid and a Dutch friends sometimes took us to the "Dutch Club" where you could get the best fries in town! And while the Dutch have realized that Mayo is the best dip for fries, my Dutch friend kept asking me to bring a certain German mayo every time we had a chance to meet since
So yeah if you want to really live it up ... dip your Dutch fries into some German mayo ... how vulgar does that sound?

Fries (or hot chips) are very popular here too. I guess something that was brought along from England.
Just across the road from my work they sell boxes of chips drowned in sour cream + sweet chilli sauce. Or you can get some sort of poutine imitation with gravy and cheese.

Dutch food is possibly even worse than English food

I just googled "Poutine" and it gave me mixed feelings ...

I've not tried the real deal but the imitation is definitely a drunk person food. This particular shop is open 24h and business is booming from 1 AM on Sunday after the nightclubs start to wind down. That and kebabs. Unfortunately where I live, there is no real food culture -- it's just your typical Chinese, Indian, Kebabs, fast food chains, etc.

Funny how kebabs made their way around the globe!
But yeah if you sell it to me as a drunk people food ... it makes sense!

Mayo?
Dip?
When dipped, fries have the consistence of wet cardboard,
and when dipped in mayo they also taste like that.
Fries are best with a pinch of Dijon mustard.

Don't you DARE hint about having negative thoughts about Poutine. The French Canadian in me will buy a ticket to Germany to confront you, then I will probably get side tracked by keyboards and we'll have some fries with mayo. Btw, I also love fries with Mayo - screw ketchup. The few times I ever go to McDonald's I get their McChicken sauce to dip fries in.
There are of course many places to get a good poutine here, but here's a chain that started in the Toronto region that has a large selection of amazing, heart-attack inducing poutines. And yes, this is some of the best drunk/hangover food in the world.

You must be the famouns Canadian MC gets-sidetracked-easily!
Gotta say I embrace Chili Cheese Fries ... so probably would enjoy Putine as well.

Bacon cheeseburger on doughnut is another heart-stopper. Disclaimer: I have never eaten one of these.

In America we call poutine "disco fries". My local foods of choice are a "Sloppy Joe" for lunch and "Porkroll sandwich" for breakfast.

Some of the stuff that my fellow Americans eat isn't even appetizing... I don't really understand their motivations.
At least the dog vomit analogue that I was consuming had a number of tasty ingredients.
Chicken
Melted 3-cheese blend (actual cheese, not cheese-like product)
Black beans
White rice
Habanero salsa
Salsa verde
Cheese
Sour cream
Corn chips, of course
It's too bad we don't have a bunch of Africans and South Americans here. They'd post some stew dishes that look way weirder than my humble bowl of nachos.

God damn those burger donuts gave me a stiffy.
I'm sure they are illegal here

Just the photo of them actually made my heart clench a little. I would still try it though if I had it in front of me. I'll try just about anything, especially when I'm travelling because I never want to be rude to hosts. I've eaten a fried tarantula-sized spider (bbq seasoning on it LOL) in Cambodia, and in the same country a woman let me try a fried cricket..then when I told her it was good with mostly hand gestures, she gave me the whole bag and smiled. So yeah, I ate like half a bag of crickets on that bus ride...not too bad actually - crispy. Cobra in Vietnam was a good one, that snake meat was actually very tasty.

Some proper artery clogging junk food... a classic club sandwich.
