jessy_girl's junk food jamboree

I always forget about Oporto in the fast food war, but I have recently discovered some good items on their menu. The jalapeño bites which are jalapeño and cream cheese deep fried, and also these nice churros. Also their chips are so good!

Their nuggets are awesome too. They're not even really what you can call nuggets. Just chunks of breaded chicken breast.

Oprego sauce. Yum.

I didn't try them! I must go back soon, I don't know why I dismissed it so much. It's no Hungry Jack's obvi but it's pretty damn good!
 
Has anyone had McDonalds egg-white McMuffin? I was considering getting breakfast on my walk and it's a toss-up between a regular McMuffin (about 470 calories) or an egg white one (about 300 calories).

I have now!
It wasn't on the menu, the girl hadn't heard of it and had to call the manager, who said it isn't on the menu. I hate being that customer.
They offered a bacon & egg McMuffin with the yolk taken out, so that's what I had. Not sure they did it, it seemed pretty yolky to me. But it was fine.

I was just replying to you saying I've never heard of it and that I'd try it soon. I'm glad you saved me being that customer! I do still want to try it though.
 
How good are maxibons? I hadn't had one in years and then my dad bought me a caramel one last night and it was sooo good. I just wish he had bought me more, I've had many a cravings today.

Ouch! Are you ok? Did you go to ER? Anyway, chips and gravy are amazing so I'm ALMOST jealous of you.

I didn't go to the ER as it didn't seem THAT bad.. I mean it was bad but we used some of those suture strips to hold it in place so it would knit together. It's been a stressful week not being able to use my hand. In hindsight I probably should have gone to the ER. Oh well..

Ouch @shaydee. Hope the chips n' gravy ease the pain.
Those mandolins are one of my nightmares, even watching contestants using one on MasterChef or MKR makes me cringe a bit. Especially as someone usually does chop something off.
I have a scar on my finger from when I was sneaking corned beef in the middle of the night. Didn't turn the lights on, and sliced a huge chunk out of my finger (with a knife). Put me off corned beef for life. I don't think that was the point, it should have put me off midnight snacking, but you can't have everything...

haha @ put you off midnight snacking! NEVER! The mandolin is in the bin LOL. I will never use one of those ever again. They are the work of the devil.[DOUBLEPOST=1449976859][/DOUBLEPOST]

They are up there with golden gaytimes. I like to eat the chocolate, then the ice cream and save the biscuit and ice cream bit till last. It's all squishy and yum.

So what do we think Cadbury's new chocolate flavours will be like?
If you thought Vegemite was weird...
Kale Crème, Wasabi Crunch and Beetroot Jelly... anyone?

Wait, is this for real? Ummm... gross. I was open to the Vegemite but Beetroot and kale have no place in confectionary. My mum has tricked me with veggie-laden brownies and weird lollies made from vegetables (seriously) but in both those times they are hidden. I simply cannot accept this. Wasabi is ok, I'm not sure with chocolate though.

This feels like a joke...
