It depends, if the skin is nice and crispy then I can stomach it. However here in China they sometimes boil the chicken with the skin on and it's this disgusting gelatinous texture. Kind of like Hainenese chicken:
Funnel cake is delicious with just powdered sugar. The crazy ass super funnel cakes they sell nowadays, with syrupy fruit topping, whipped cream, and ice cream, that shit is fucking ridiculous.
If I'm ever on death row, or if I'm bedridden, I want my last meal to be a bowl full of doubly fried chicken skins.
I think that's what a lot of the food posted here is (like the pizza burger); stuff you'd want to eat on death row, since it's likely to kill you anyway... :P
Guys, you have to realize. This is about what you eat, but how.
Pretty much. It's like once every few years I'll go to KFC and get a Popcorn Chicken meal, but instead of Fries get Poutine as a side. The wait time between this indulgence is perfect, as it takes that long to digest.
My friends have limited my eating of funnel cake to a maximum of twice a year. Because, when I eat it, I go into a hyper sugar rush and decide it's an awesome idea to bear hug the fuck out of anyone in my vicinity. Granted, this was much more intimidating when I was 100 pounds heavier, but they still fear cracked ribs.
I can't believe I lived in the South for nearly all my life and never had beef brisket until I came to California.
It's pretty much just pulled pork/beef and ribs in Alabama.
You have to go west of the Mississippi to start seeing it. Once you hit St. Louis, you start seeing it more. Once you hit Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, it really jumps in, and you stop seeing much pork once you're past San Antonio or Denver. Brisket is usually rubbed with a lot more southwestern flavorings than you'd find in pork ribs.

I would kill you and several other innocent people for a funnel cake right now.

not enough fucking lime in the world.
I would honestly kill somebody right now for one of those grilled stuffed steak burritos from taco hell right now.
I would also kill somebody for a good old eastern shore crab feast. with blue crabs, corn on the cob, oysters rockafeller, and TONS of melted clarified butter.

I'd sacrifice a hobo to any satanic/demonic/pagan power from beyond you'd care to name for some good hush puppies.
Oh god hush puppies... there was this fish place around here, had the best damn hush puppies. Soft as all hell, not dry as a sponge like the ones from LJS's. Best of all? Nearly as big as a god damn baseball.
Edit: Wait that's kind of off topic... uh. I guess they may have been soaked in butter?

Ah, the southern fried breading delicacy known as Hush Puppies. They got the name from down home fish fries always being crowded with the party attendees dogs. The dogs would whine, bark and beg for the fried fishy goodness. People started to take the batter for the fish, add a little extra cornmeal to make a drier mixture, and then fry it up with the fish to feed to the dogs. "Hush, puppy."

There's also New York or any Jewish household besides my own on Passover (my mom doesn't eat meat, so we have turkey).

Wikipedia says the most likely story is that hunters would use them to hush the puppies. This makes sense because hunters don't have to maintain sanitary standards.

Either than or olive oil. Normally, bread doesn't turn your napkin transparent.

Isn't that acid?
I know for a fact that crisco will turn a paper napkin transparent.
Have you not seen that episode of the Simpsons where Homer needs to gain weight? The big joke is, 'only eat things that make other things transparent'. Cue Krusty burger that can turn a wall transparent.
I always felt like McDonald's weird McGriddles were totally fucking disgusting.
I can get behind the occasional sausage biscuit...but soaking the biscuit in syrup first? Ugh.
I always presumed it was injected into the biscuit/pancake... thing. Maybe soaked too, who knows.
Also, hello everyone in Penny Arcade-land.
The McGriddle sandwich "buns" are not biscuit-like in any way, shape or form. They're sort of slightly firmer, thicker pancakes with syrup sort of injected during the original cooking process - there are little pockets of syrup flavor interspersed throughout the "bun", with no texture differences to the rest of the pancake.
I've had one once or twice, and... they're OK. A little too out there for me, so if I'm doing a McD's breakfast I'll usually get an Egg or Sausage McMuffin.
Related to the current topic: Fake maple syrup. I can't believe people eat it. It's disgustingly sweet, and doesn't actually taste like maple syrup at all. It's the reason Cracker Barrel is the only restaurant I ever order pancakes at.

The texture is all wrong, too. Real maple syrup is sort of thin and runny. "Pancake syrup"? Not so much.

I will only eat real maple if I have it at all. However, usually I have ribbon cane syrup, because that's what I grew up with. I'll be damned if I have HFCS syrup. I'd rather eat the pancakes/french toast plain or with preserves if the fake stuff is all that's available.

Well, wouldn't you be upset if you asked for meat and were given chicken? In essence, my mom's a piscetarian+poultry.
One thing that has generally shocked me is that food out of the taco trucks out here seems to be of decent quality in general.
Wait until the Kogi truck gets there. Korean BBQ + taco truck = 600-person flash mobs waiting 2 hours for kalbi and bulgogi tacos, and cultish hordes in the thousands following the 2 trucks' every stop via Twitter. The top food critic in LA compares its meteoric rise to Pinkberry, and their next target markets are San Diego and San Francisco.

No. Chicken's meat. Turkey's meat. In fact, poultry's called white meat, though some of it's considered dark meat. As opposed to the other white meat, pork. Fish also has meat. You're eating an animal's musculature. That's meat. So, no, I'd not be disappointed. If there were chicken and beef available, I'd say "could I have beef?" If you asked me, "hey, GungHo, pass me the meat", I'd say, "get it your own damn self, you lazy bastard, do I look like a servant to you?"
Actually quite tasty when not cooked to rubber band consistancy.
Also, any of the Hostess gas station specials. Twinkies, Cup Cakes, Cherry Pies. I love them all. Hopefully their over abundance of presevative will preserve me as well.
I've actually eaten a lot a tripe, being a frequenter of various pho shops. You often pay extra for it, but my desire to try everything on the menu has forced me to order the all-in special beef phos more than once.
It's a little off-putting to look at, but doesn't taste at all bad. Still, I think I'd rather just load the bowl with raw beef strips.

When you combine that with the seriously sharp bones and their marrow, chicken here sometimes makes me feel ill.
I share your pain.

Finally, someone mentions school cafeteria food/prison food/airline food. I was getting worried.
Funnel cake? Delicious
3 times a year, tops.
After that, you die.
