Gangway!

Overcompenseating – what happens after way too much self-control. Don’t stand between me and a carbohydrate unless you want to be flattened in the stampede...

The usual redeeming nutritional feature of a burger (if a burger has any need of redeeming features, and much of the time, they don’t) is their carnivorousness. But this one combines two good things without even going near carnivorousness. No redeeming features, then, and yet so very appealing...

And, while pizza bianca isn’t anything new to me, the idea of mashed potato on a pizza definitely is...

But somehow, I’m just not entirely convinced. It’s a little like when kids at school had tinned spaghetti in their sandwiches!

After puzzling after this for a little while, I’ve concluded that maybe a difference between a meal and a snack is that a meal often benefits from elements other than solely heaps of starchy tastiness (like some of that carnivorousness, perhaps, or at the very least, some cheese), whereas a snack can be enjoyable (sometimes all the more so) for being more narrowly focused. Having committed this idea out loud, of course, I’m sure there’ll be a deluge of diverse snacks, and of stodge-heavy meals, leaping (lethargically) out at me for weeks to come. It’s safer on the fence... but it's never as much fun!

PS: Thanks to Pioneer Woman for prompting this thought with this post; not sure those fences'd stop a leaping Basset hound, though!
