Believe Everything You See on TV!

In an effort to counterbalance all the healthy food I've been seeing on here I would like to give a brief review of 3 exquisite culinary creations that have been advertised on TV between Basketball Games.  I NEVER eat fast food but I thought I would try these 3 scrumptious looking delicacies for the sake of balance and fairness.












Wendy's: Bacon and Bleu Cheese Burger:  Very Good...I compared it to the Baconator and I have to say the Bacon Bleu Burger wins.











KFC:  Boneless Chicken Filet - I had high hopes for this one as I like Chick-Fil-a sandwiches very much....It was good, tasted like KFC without the hassle of bones and the distraction of bread and pickles.  Fried Chicken in all of its healthy glory!













Taco Bell: Pacific Shrimp Taco -  Good enough to blog about but not good enough to keep to myself.

I should make a note that none of the 3 tested culinary delights were given to me in the condition shown in the pictures.  I wish I would've taken pictures but the Bacon and Bleu burger was not nearly as plump and snappy crisp as shown in the picture.  Same for the Shrimp soft taco, it looked as if it had been assembled by someone who was bored or maybe didn't care about food aesthetics.  As for the Chicken Filet it was the closest but even so fell short of the picture.  I wonder if these pictures are airbrushed similar to our celebrities?  I would eat all three of these vittles again.

I have to say though that none of them compare to Ruth Bloom's quick, easy and indomitable Ratloaf.

Before I congratulate you for your "bravery in stepping into this harsh world of blogosphere",
I suppose I should thank you for encouraging me to blog. It appears to be a rather time consuming addiction, but I will try to use restraint.
I appreciate your recommendations for fine, affordable cuisine. I, too have never been able to order anything that even remotely resembles the picture that got me to salivating, but I guess fast food restaurants can get by with false advertising because most people eat before they look. Bon Appetit!

Almost 2 years late but I thank you Mike. I see that blogging hasn't actually been the scribal release that either of us thought.

I'm now considering starting up my blog again and adding the second post in twoish years.

Hmm....
