I actually had a sloppy joe the other day. Being Australian, it's not 'a thing' here. I always thought it was just like a burger.

Then I ate this weird concoction of bun and loose mince meat and other stuff that tasted really good but holy gak is it hard to eat without falling all over the floor.

XD They don't call it "sloppy" for no reason!

And that thing looks disgusting. I think I threw up a little.

Traditionally... (at least around here) sloppy joes are made with ground beef (mince to you fancy english speakn furrine types) and is then seasoned with a little salt, pepper and copious amounts of ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and a little garlic if you're stealing my personal recipe. Sometimes onion can be added, but most consumers of the sloppy joe consider that to be too many vegetables.

I use a similar recipe. I will occasionally also toss in some fine diced celery for a little crunch, or a little basil a/o oregano. Sloppy Joe's are basically "I got the stuff to do hamburgers on the grill, but it's pouring rain out, so I'll just do it all up in a pan." If you would put it on a burger, it can go into a Joe.

Leftovers make for a passible chili dog, for those hot dogs I didn't get a chance to put grill marks on due to the rain as well.

Well to be honest what you call 'Sloppy Joes' sounds an awful lot like what we would call 'mince' as apparently I have been making them for years without noticing. The major difference is that I chuck in some pasta, leave out the mustard and replace the ketchup with baked beans to make the ultimate student meal.

Krispy Kreme donuts are repulsive creations. The only time that I have ever had one its vast sugar content made my feel nauseous for the rest of the afternoon.

Blasphemy

**Lordhat**

Sloppy Joe is one of the worst things one can do to either tomato sauce OR hamburger. The fact that it's done to both at once is just blasphemy. Putting this foul concoction of Satan on a Krispy Kreme donut is simply akin to asking a hooker to gargle with holy water then spit into the collection plate.

**kronk**

That costs $125 in Houston. $250 to do it while mass is in session.

Don't ask.

indeed, I like Krispy Kreme donuts.

While they lack the charm of a small time donut maker, they do have remarkable consistency and ease of consumption.

Sounds interesting, do you have the contact details for the agency?

I just don't understand how anyone can tolerate soooooo much sugar.

**Grey Templar**

That's exactly what my mother says.

**kronk**

Your mother wants that agency's contact info?

Interesting. How old is she. Is she seeing anyone?

**marv335**

There is a Krispy Kreme on every corner out here in Saudi.
about 50% of the population has diabetes.
Coincidence?

**Grey Templar**

Nah, I think it would be not having the genetics to tolerate the massed sugar/fat rather than specifically Krispy Kreme or any other fast food.

Americans have had a couple generations to get used to a diet of high fat/sugar. Its actually probably why the obesity/diabetes rate isn't higher than it is.

**hotsauceman1**

So we maricans have evolved to superhumans with iron guts?

**Some_Call_Me_Tim?**

I hate sloppy joes. Pulled pork, on the other hand, is pure sex in a bun.

Evolution doesn't work that fast (outside of a near extinction level event). The massive levels of obesity and diabetes are proof enough of this.

Not exactly. Its more like we just have a, slightly, better ability to process tons of sugar and fat.

**marv335**

On a serious note, it's more to do with the massive inbreeding that goes on here, and also being Muslim.
Studies have shown that moderate alcohol intake lowers the chance of developing diabetes, Muslims don't drink it.

**kronk**

That's why I'm never sober. To stop the beetus.

Scotch, scotch, scotch. I love scotch....

**Grey Templar**

I think the key word there was "moderate" alcohol intake.

**Jihadin**

um......define your version of moderate? This is Kronk we're talking about here.....

Just shy of alcohol poisoning?

**Grey Templar**

Right, we may have trouble here. I'll start out slow.

Less than 2 gallons a week. Once you've come to terms with that we'll narrow the field

**Jihadin**

Well..he looks a bit Scottish...irish.... so two gallons might just be in starter shots.....

lets not try to make Kronk look like a raging alcoholic....well...maybe just a little.....think I can file down some shot glasses on a mini...

**KalashnikovMarine**

Two gallons? Why does moderate have to equate to "girly man drinkin"? Two gallons is "Friday afternoon" around here.

**Grey Templar**

Well that depends on what exactly you have 2 gallons of. 2 gallons of beer is different to 2 gallons of Scotch or any other hard liquor.

**hotsauceman1**

Two gallon is normal morning drinking.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Beer doesn't count as drinking that's just mineral water.

Well, I know I always get coffee from work, and think to myself, "wow, coffee tastes strange without whisky in it".

Well, some Muslims drink, but it's probably more common in less conservative Muslim countries (i.e. not Saudi Arabia). I wonder if the diabetes rate is lower in countries like Egypt or Turkey, where the Muslim population tends to be a bit less conservative and more likely to drink alcohol every once in awhile?
