A similar confection is manufactured in the United States. Known as Whoppers, they are chocolate-coated malted milk balls produced by The Hershey Company.

My first thought upon reading the first paragraph was "sounds like Whoppers". Do they taste differently?

Ah but it says "In the 1930s, ads for Maltesers claimed that they're beneficial for weight loss."

I like whoppers alright, for true delight I love some Tiramisu! Have you heard of or tried that?

This thread is based on a lie. My mom's seafood chowder is the Greatest Food Ever Made. (Whoppers are pretty good, though.)

I'm going by my old standby, Shwarma (your spelling may vary).

Oh god, now I need to go find some.

Hmmm. I'm not a big malt ball guy. I couldn't stand them as a kid, and now they're barely palatable to me. My dad always loved them though.

I'm gonna go with bacon as the greatest food ever made. It's crispy, yet chewy, salty, yet almost sweet. It is also highly portable, and makes one's house smell like heaven. In short: it's perfect!

Mmm, Chicago style pizza.

I agree on the balls. Not a fan of the balls.

Bacon, though. That's at least in my top 5. Then maybe a fried catfish poboy.

Edit: And how could I forget 'taters? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

I'd like to apologize for my comments re:balls. It was as if some otherworldly force posessed me and forced me to post that. I could see it all unfolding clearly in front of me, but I was utterly powerless to stop.

Whoppers' got nothing on Maltesers. Thicker chocolate coating, meltier dough center...

Sorry CEJ, I can't let anything into my top 5 that hasn't bled or come out of something that bleeds (or is a potato, as it provides so many delicious excuses to add things that bled or came from bleeders). Avocado may be one of the best planty bits out there, but it's still just a garnish. Avocado's not even in the same weight class.

A gourmet "cased meat" place across the street from Midway Studios did fioe gras dogs just before the ban here. I had that, and a kangaroo sausage. Both were very tasty.

  1. It's Wisconsonites.
  2. Yes, they have chili. It's full of beef, bacon, cheese, and sour cream. It's a day's worth of calories in one spicy bowl, and it's served with cornbread.

Im being held against my will in L.A. Being Texan I'd prefer a big slab of prime rib to any of the 10 sushi restaurants within walking distance here.

By the way that sour cream just ruined an otherwise tasty sounding chili

Oh snap. Tell me you've at least tried guacamole! Say it ain't so? I'm not talking about the God Damn Abomination you can buy at Von's that is essentially green paste that's been recycled from a diseased pre-school. I'm talking about a real avocado that's been diced up and mixed in with some angry form of salsa where you have to keep eating it or your freakin' lips and tongue burn off.

As far as bacon avocado burgers go; don't knock it until you take a real avocado. Slice it in half and pull the seed out. Slice that sucker length wise and scoop the slices out with a spoon. (Tick: Spooon!) Arrange said slices of heaven over the top of the crisp swine strips and chow down.

Damn .... now I'm hungry.

Oh, and try the new Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream with Oatmeal Cookie Dough and chunks of Fudge. It's good. A close second is the American Pie on with apple pie mixed in to the ice cream.
