McDonalds has, by far, the best hash browns I've ever had at a fast food restaurant. Though it would be a shame to break my nice 2 year streak of no McDonalds. But Chick-fil-a has great biscuits and gravy. And pretty good hash browns. But it's after 10:30 Well at least tomorrow's breakfast has been planned out!

True. My brother (who rarely backs down from an eating challenge) was only able to handle a handful of those.

I think I hit 18 and couldn't take a moment longer, and had to finish the next day.

We're venturing dangerously close to Gulf Eats, such as Jambalaya, which depending on the Andouille and hot sauce, could burn you through a brand new one before the bowl's empty...

Hahaha, why do we do these things to ourselves? I know it releases endorphins, and capsaicin is mildly addictive, but still...

Because spicy is a challenge. I make taco spaghetti every once in a while, and use the hottest taco seasoning offered, diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers, and hubby adds chipotle Tabasco sauce. It's fantastic.

That's it. You're right. I had a bottle of habanero sauce I would put on anything I could — just for fun.

Scones! Also pronounced Sc-oh-nes, which is a topic of much debate over here (U.K.)

WTF @Jennifer Stone !!! SCONE - sounds like gone as in "it's gone" as in "s-gone" as in "SCONE!"

Lol I've never heard them pronounced that way. That explains Jen's post though. I was like "what other way do you pronounce scones?"

Haha yeah. It's like some folk in Scotland call potatoes totties, and some call them tatties... There is no middle ground haha!

Ah, so it's the "ketchup" vs "catsup" debate in the US. Got it. (For reference, it's very much "ketchup".)

That's how I say it, "s-gone", otherwise I'd get called 'posh' and a 'toffee nosed tart'

 

[Nicole Wilson]

"Toffee nosed tart". Man, litopia is just filled with great new words. I'm gonna insult someone with that today. Thank you

To me that's a swis-roll

 

[Jason Byrne]

Holy crap! Agreement! I think it's Swiss loaf roll here, or Ho-Ho's.

Which was what I had for lunch every day, when I worked customer service in the call center.

 

[Jason Byrne]

I'm out! Back Tuesday!

Taco Bell!

Of course - 's-gone', but do you put on the clotted cream first and then the strawberry jam, or the other way round?

(NB: there is only one correct answer to this. The wrong answer incurs a prolonged jail sentence.)

 

[Alistair Roberts]

Just feed me and shudd-up!! I'll take the lot no matter what you call them, I'm just not fussy (often)....
