USA 5 - Gluttony at Disneyland

How much crap can one person eat in one day?? Good question.

Let's see. Two days ago HOS and I went off to enchanted Disneyland to relive my childhood memories. Other than being a wonderfully romantic and nostalgic day, to be perfectly frank, we ate like pigs.

This is what we devoured in our time at Disneyland - which started at 10am, and finished around 6pm.

- Breakfast - I had pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs, while manly HOS (Hunk of Spunk) had Mickey Mouse pancakes (above) - both smothered in Maple Syrup

- Morning snack - Fairy Floss (or "cotton candy" in yank talk) after Pirates of the Carribean ride (above)

- LUNCH - OMG ALL YOU CAN EAT BARBECUE! Dear lord! Now this was truly amazing. We paid 20 bucks each to sit and eat all we could in Frontier Land!! This included the most divinely smokey pork ribs, bbq chicken (who eats that when you can eat bbq pork ribs?), the most amazing sweet and spicey baked bean things, sweet and peppery coleslaw and cornbread (which let's face it was really like cake!), then to wash all this down with was all you could drink soda!! OH YEAH BABY! The great thing was, that when we were running low on ribs, our server, John, would just come and ask if we wanted more. Within about 5 mins we wanted more. Ribs. Oh the ribs. Just as I imagine them to really have tasted at Twelve Oaks by Scarlet and Rhett (Gone with the Wind). Sigh. I actually said to HOS - I'm going to be sick if I eat this last rib - I went two more!!! You can see from above what happy little piglets we were!

- Afternoon Snack 1 - A pretzel stick covered in caramel, then covered in chocolate (I had to try it, it was soooo ridiculous) - it was bloody great!

- Afternoon Snack 2 - taffy - waiting on the lines for the fantasy land rides, we devoured almost a whole pack of taffy - which for those who don't know is like a fruity, tangy, caramel

- Afternoon Sanck 3 - Frozen chocolate and almond dipped banana! I had to relive old childhood memories, so in order to sustain us on the drive home, we had to indugle ourselves with the famous choc frozen banana (the almonds were new, and a nice touch too)

So, we were pretty proud of ourselves. We managed to eat the most food we've ever eaten in one day - and in our analysis during the day, we realised that we had just eaten probably the most sugar we've ever eaten in one day, cause we think there was more sugar in our all you can eat bbq than there was in the cotton candy!!!!

But that's ok, we balanced out the sugar when we got back to Beverly Hills - HOS had a pastrami hamburger with fries!!!
