/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Damn, looks like IHOP is doing it right for a chain restaurant. We don't have it in Canada, but there's plenty of awesome local breakfast joints. I'd get the same breaky as you (eggs look perfect for me) except I'd get homefries with onions instead, maybe an order of tomatoes instead of sausage.

>>4610759

The toast and the dessert are utterly superfluous, though. What's on the main plate is more than a meal in itself.

>>4610761
Yeah I definitely wouldn't be ordering a crepe (I think that's what that is) if I ordered the full breakfast. Would have just gotten two slices of whole wheat.

that looks about what I eat in a day

I don't want to make a massive generalisation, but are portions in the US usually that big?

>>4610764

In US restaurants, absolutely. One annoying thing is that a "side" of something tends to be a meal's worth of that thing. Like one time I ordered a side of corned beef hash at the diner down the street from me and they came back with this huge honking plate of it.

But yeah. Restaurant portions are just out of control here. Easiest way to get around that is just to control yourself and take some home to be eaten the next day, and don't gobble up all the steak fries they give you, etc. stuff like that

>>4610764
>eat in a day
what the fuck anon. There is about 1000 calories there so you still need 1200 at evening.

I think you should try to get a better diet.

>>4610770

Are you kidding me? There's probably 500 calories in those sausages alone. Everything there, the eggs, sausages, hash browns, bacon, toast, butter, jelly, crepe, christ that all has to be over 2000. And who knows what the beverage was, a big glass of orange juice is itself a few hundred

W-w-what's for buh-breakfast, dad?

>>4610771
Yeah, no.
>a big glass of orange juice is itself a few hundred
What the fuck do you get fed, is it made of butter?

>>4610776
>Yeah, no.

Excellent counterargument. I bow to your skills of reasoning and persuasion.

>>4610777
No reason to throw shit at retards that don't understand why you're doing it.

I see no reason to actually 'argue' on the internet, since we will just go about our day anyhow and your autistic ways wont change.

Enjoy your anorexia though.

>>4610781

I will! Goodnight, dear.

>>4610776
I don't think you know how calories work. There are a riduclously large amount of calories in everything, and I think Americans have just deluded themselves into thinking otherwise.

Also
>>4610770
>2200 calories a day
No, don't be retarded. I eat 1500 a day and I still have to run 5 miles every evening otherwise I start to put on weight.

>>4610771
Seconded. Considering all the grease that was used. Two slices of toast -360 calories not including spread. That meal with the pancakes is easily over 2000 calories. I wouldn't eat the rest of the day. That's a pretty intense breaky OP. don't let /fit/ get wind that you ate that haha.

>Damn, looks like IHOP is doing it right for a chain restaurant.

IHOP is the shittiest of all shitty diners. As tourist in the US I've eaten there a couple of times and wow...It was an experience (and not necessarily a bad one) but damn.

>>4610825
Ihop is delicious. I seriously want to eat at these places you hipsters eat at. I bet you just find it better because LEL ITS NOT POPLAR. Eat shit. If its at a local joint you might give it a good review.

>>4610844
American food is pretty fucking awful in comparison to food from Europe. Nobody is being a hipster here.

>>4610848
Yeah I've been to the uk. Your food is shit don't even start that.

>>4610862
What are you rambling about?

>>4610921
Are you going to argue or just spout U WOT M8 over and over?

>>4610802
>I eat 1500 a day and I still have to run 5 miles every evening otherwise I start to put on weight.
I hope you're a 5'2" girl.

>>4610844
I generally don't eat out much at all - I'd rather spend the money improving my own cooking skills. Last time was at a Michelin restaurant though but that's not the point. I don't hate the food at McDonald's for example.

The food at IHOP is of the lowest quality I have encountered anywhere in the world. I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it (I have) and I'm hating on IHOP (I'm not) - just that their food quality is insanely low.

>>4610937
I'm a 6' guy.

>>4610941
>The food at IHOP is of the lowest quality I have encountered anywhere in the world.
I'd probably think the same if everyone in my family had a seven figure salary.

>>4610949
Do you weigh 110 pounds and sit around all day?

>>4610941

I don't understand. McDonald's food quality is even lower than IHOP's. They use a lower grade of, well, everything. So why don't you hate McDonald's?

why can't amerifats make their own breakfast? Do you people really wake up, get dressed, then walk (or probably drive, lel) into town to get your breakfast?

what a dumb way of going on.

m8 you must literally be a walking skeleton if you're living like that.

You're clearly not consuming 1500 calories. More like 2500.

>>4610964
I usually make my own breakfast. But it's fun going to IHOP in the AMs after drinking with some friends or the morning right after when I don't feel like cooking up a big breakfast.

>>4610971

one so young as you shouldn't be stressing themselves like this

>>4610755

Is Flying Biscuit any good?

This was my breakfast today.

My breakfast is just a toast and tea

How people manage to eagt so much in the morning baffles me

>>4611643
Yea, I can't eat much either in the morning unless I've been up for a while already. If I just wake up and start eating a bunch of food, my stomach gets cramped up and I wind up having to take a big ol' shit not long after.

>>4611623
grape juice?

>>4611623
bacon looks undercooked reason wanuar

>>4611668
Cran-grape

>>4611678
Not as crispy as I normally like it but I like bacon either way.

>>4610764

Cheap chain restaurants generally give you enough food to take home and finish later, or appeal to the proletariat 300 lb masses (pun intended).

If you go to a refined establishment the servings generally reflect what you'd expect them to.

>>4610755
holy fuck they have different sausage now

a challenger appears

yurop here.
murrican breakfast is best breakfast!!!!!

can't wait till next time i'm in the states and can eat glorious breakfast of freedom.

mmmmmmmmmm

>>4611780
Go to a Shoney's or my fav Golden Corral. It's Amerifat central cuz the food is breddy gud. An all you can eat breakfast buffet is too tempting for me. Unfortunately living out in the middle of nowhere so the only fast food is gas station fried chicken(which is amazing), a nex Mexican place which won't last, and a mediocre pizza place. Oh and McDonalds.

>>4610759

> NO IHOP in Canada

What are you talking about man. I live just outside of Vancouver and there's 2 different IHOPs within twenty minutes of me.

>>4611951
There's literally like 5 IHOPS in all of Canada. Closest one to me is in Niagara. I guess I could go over to the IHOP in Detroit but why would I do that lol

>>4611984
so where do the Canuks go for food when they are hungry at 4 am then?

I'm 6'3 and 160 pounds, I have to eat a fucking ton of food to feel full and I find it very hard to put on weight, though I'm trying pretty hard right now. I find it really really stupid when someone on /ck/ looks at about 1500 calories of food and complains that it's way too much, or that they would not eat the rest of the day if they had that. I have to eat 4000 calories daily in order to not be a fucking skeleton lol

>>4612030
You are a freak of nature buddy. Someone of your size should be able to maintain a normal bodyweight by consuming around 2200-2500 calories a day. You must be an olympic sprinter or swimmer to have to eat that much to maintain or you have hella worms in your intestines.

>>4612030
Most people are in a median between you and that other (probably trolling) guy ,I'd say- I don't think anyone without a medical condition could eat less than 2000 calories a day and still need to exercise to maintain their weight.

Besides, I can't imagine anyone making a habit of eating as much as these types of restaurants serve regularly. It's like the thanksgiving dinner of breakfasts, you'd bust your guts trying to eat like that frequently.

>>4612064
People eat that much all the time. They just weigh 400 pounds. Ever been to a buffet in the US? It's typically 30% fit/average size people, 40% overweight/obese, and 30% super morbid ineedascooterandcanetomove obese.

>>4611996
Honestly, if you're not in a city, you're fucked. Lots of late night drunken cooking happening out here.

pig

>>4611731

McDonalds hash browns are the only things I really like from their breakfast menu.

let me know what you think about this breakfast recipe i created

> 2 pieces toast

> peanut butter on one toast

> generously sprinkle raisins on top of pb toast

> get half a banana chop it up and microwave for 30 seconds

> mix banana up until it's puree'd

> spread that on the other toast

> put two and two together

>>4611731
>a challenger

lol. far from it my friend.

far from it...

>>4613539
Not a fan of raisins, other than that, sounds good.

>>4610759
I guess they aren't as... Interntional... as we thought.

I still wonder what non-Southerners do when there's no Waffle House.

Hell you guys don't even have Huddle House.

>>4610774
lol.

I just finished all 5 seasons for the first time.

>>4611848
>Golden Corral

Oh boy, here we go

>>4613735

I've never been there. I take it I'm not missing out. Seems like Boston Market in buffet form basically.

this thread confirms half the people that browse /ck/ are masochistic anorexics salivating over food theyre restricting themselves of. most normal/intuitive eaters wouldn't look at that photo and immediately start calculating calories and shaming whoever's eating that. get help.

anyway ihop is pretty good id probably skip out on the bacon and save the crepe for later (looks sooo good tho), but dennys is where its at for cheap hangover breakfast unless youre in the tri-state area in which case get yourself to a real diner. ihop does have a sexy syrup selection though.

>>4611623
>Bacon, cream cheese, drink other than water
>light yogurt

>>4615484
So just a banana and a glass of water for breakfast?

>>4611643
My age has caught up to me. When I was a damn teenager I was eating meatball sandwiches for breakfast, or if I was up all night (drinking or otherwise) it'd be a chicken cheese steak from Golden Castle. If it happened to be on a Sunday morning, pancakes or french toast.

Now I'm going to be 30 in 3 months and even thinking of anything but coffee and toast first thing in the morning makes my stomach gurgle.

>>4615437
counting calories as a habit isn't a bad thing within reason. Like don't recoil in horror when you see something high-calorie, but it's good to be able to judge how much is in what you eat.

>>4613735
that fucking chocolate wonderfall, disgusting

>>4613539
No meat, no cheese. You're getting started with the bread.
1/10 would not eat.

>mfw hashbrowns AND biscuits and gracy for $2.
