[Sca-cooks] Recipe for fried avocado from Trudy's North Star

[Chip]

Drakey declared:

There's a barbeque place in town called Tis'.  Supposedly authentic
Texas barbeque which, according to him, is sliced beef in sauce
(tasty).  Anyway, the star of the menu is the Tis' Tater.

It's a large baked potato split and spread, topped with barbeque,
butter, sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon bits.  It's a full-on
bovine assault.  Only by drinking a glass of milk with it and having
either frozen yogurt or ice cream for dessert (a moot point -- no
room) could you squeeze more cow into a meal.

These are not a frequent meal because the last few bites are
accompanied by the nagging realization and acknowledgement of what
you've just eaten.  I am by no means a small person and I can just
barely finish one without feeling like Mr. Creosote.

So, I enter the Tis' Tater as a candidate for High Fat Content
Champion.

I shall also submit:

1) my father's classic and much-beloved Saturday morning breakfast
sandwich based on a foundation of BLT with the addition of mayo, a
fried egg and a slice of melting American cardboard-sleeved
pseudo-dairy nuclear-orange curd-shingle (remember those?)

2) a Canadian beast which, like the Sasquatch, I have never
personally encountered: poutine.  Legend has it that it involves
french fries topped with fresh cheese curds melted by a dousing of
piping hot turkey gravy.

3) Bacon grease slathered on white bread, a slab of raw onion on top.
No joke.  An old southern thing, possibly Depression-era food.  Served
with a de-fib kit and a bottle brush for your aorta.

Yours in bad cholesterol,
