Hey, don't get me wrong. I love all the components therein, and if
sufficiently hungry could cram down almost two ounces of the lipidinous
delights. It's just, well, too much of a good thing. Kinda like eating a
stick of butter.

Another consideration is what you eat this with... maybe with a good
salad of, say, watercress, endive and Boston lettuce, maybe a
mushroom-stock vinaigrette (sherry vinegar, ooh baby!), I'd have less of
a problem than with the dish showing up as an accompaniment to a shell
steak.
