LOL. I was never much of a sweets person, I'm more about savory. Dessert was a rarity for me as a kid so I don't crave it as an adult. If they have a cheese course I'm all over that though with a nice glass of vin santo, port or sherry.

How about a nice savoury torta salata con pancetta e ricotta!
🍷
I have a nice Barbera d'Alba that would pair perfectly. Or maybe a nice Mueller Thurgau. Hmm...
Decisioni...

although, i once ate at a place called Sweet Melissa in Laramie WY that made the worlds great artichoke dip. The veggie lasagna wasn't bad either. This was ca 2004, so it may not be around now. It was a dive back then.

This is Italian 'fast food'.
I'm off to prep dinner, angello scottadito. Ciao, a presto.

Humans evolved their brains by eating fat, mostly marrow and other brains.
To exclude that from your diet is to starve your brain.
Your teeth tell me that your body is very well adapted to eating meat, vegetables and fruit.
Humans require a diverse diet. And meat is delicious, I took personal offence to that.
Have you even tried the creamy liver of a duck that’s been force fed it’s entire life?
It’s fatty gold I tell ya! 🤤
Well I guess you’re joking or trolling but really what’s the point. Force-feeding ducks is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard of.
I’m not actually completely against people eating meat but if so, then it’s better for everyone if the livestock could have a decent life...
Force feeding ducks is one of the worst things you’ve heard of?
Dude, you need to get out more...
Foie gras is delicious, but that’s neither here nor there.
There are atrocities happening the world over but force feeding ducks is one of the worst things...?
Priorities need to be re-evaluated.
No lol, the main topic there was farm animals, and of that, yes force-fed ducks is absolutely terrible, and it must be one of the worst things I’ve heard. I think the animal can’t move its whole life, while it’s literally force-fed down its throat constantly, and that’s its whole life! 100% pain and suffering.
If someone actually enjoys the product then you know it’s one of the worst things possible, in terms of animal cruelty/ suffering, and so there’s just something sick about enjoying it, knowing it’s an entire life of cruelty and torture for an animal.
It’s absolutely terrible for everyone but I also doubt that you actually eat that stuff lol and you’re probably just trolling.
Anyway animal welfare is not a competition against human welfare, as you kinda implied, or something like that, lol.

ETA: Holy crap, they are still open. In the same spot it looks like? Its down by the railroad tracks on, i think, 2nd street. But the bricks on the walls...it looks just like the same place. Except with a lot nicer tables and chairs. My wife will love hearing this.

Thanks, I’ll look at your links but you do have some opposite views, of mine.
I love olive oil and I consume it constantly. I love it and I can’t really be convinced of it being unhealthy.
I agree with you that salt should not be a problem if the food / diet is ok.
However I don’t agree that animal fats are better than vegetarian options like olive oil.
And I do eat healthy in my own time, but I guess I didn’t really explain that, because I was just asking about this habit I’ve acquired while on the road.
Also I do think that there’s something wrong with this fast food that I’m not sure exactly what it is. Not oil or salt. There’s something else wrong with it that is messing up my body and mind, even though I’m not sure exactly what.

1. If you think eating vegetarian or eating organic is some special benefit to your health, you are spending more money on nothing. I know farmers and ranchers. I know what gets called organic. Just save your money.
2. If you are eating in any restaurant trying to find health benefits, you are doign it wrong. I run "fine dining" establishments that source all foods from within 100 miles. The food is super fresh and fantastic. But a half stick of butter will certainly push the calorie count up beyond what you suspect. That food tastes so good because chef's know how to make it taste good. What they DON'T care about is how healthy it is
3. If you are eating fast food and thinking you will get anything other than the cheapest, lowest quality food, you should definitely reconsider

Is this how disconnected you are from the real world?
I must be trolling because I couldn’t possibly enjoy fatty duck liver?
I’m sensing you must be between the ages of 12-24.
Because no one over 30 could be this disconnected.
I get the feeling you’re culinary boundaries are keeping you in an extremely small box.
I pity you deeply, for I love food! All animal, plant, dairy and crustaceans are welcome!
Mussels to abalone, brain paté to crispy-coated frog legs! Dragon fruit, kiwi, fresh mango!
Lobster ravioli, fish tacos, chicken livers with a sherry cream sauce..
Food and delectable tastes are as a part of me as I am a part of them...
I’ve killed my own dinner more times than I can count.
You seem to be very disconnected from the real world out there, I’d suggest travelling, so many places with amazing, cheap, local, traditional food!
