Paula Deen, an American tv cook, is in virtually every news report about diabetes I'm getting at the moment. She's just revealed that she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years ago, and the reason why there is so much furore is because she is the originator of recipes like this:

To me, this is a small child's cooking experiment - how could people believe that there was any merit in cooking and eating something like this? 🙄

The sight of that makes me sick, someone like her could only make it big in America🙄
 
It looks and sounds disgusting 😱 Obviously though some people are daft enough to follow the recipes of disaster otherwise the lady in question would not be making a living out of her c(r)ookery!

She's now a spokesperson for Victoza! 😱
 
Are those doughnuts? 😱😱😡

Disgusting!
 
Think I could sue her for breach of copyright - I'm sure that's my six year old's creation!!
 
I just realised they are DOUGHNUTS! Surely you'd only get a quarter of the way through that and then run off to be sick?! :confused:

Precisely! It's like a one of Heston's creations, except it's utterly rubbish! 😱
 
It looks totally gross and she should be ashamed of herself!

When my girl was six she was obsessed with Smarties. I am sure she would have topped off with some! When I spoke to her on the phone about it she suggested that you could deep fry it in batter. I will give it a miss.
 
Even when my face is OK my mouth wont open that far, although I do like bacon and cheese in a bagel sometimes as a treat..

Don't forget the sweet chilli sauce!
 
That looks revolting!!! Blurgh.
 
So close, but so far...

Some aspects of the burger don?t sound all that bad. So each burger has:
1 fried egg
2 slices of bacon
? lb beef + onion & parsley & spices

Possibly this isn't any worse then the traditional brunch of sausage, bacon and egg in a muffin.

Assuming you have taken a nice polyunsaturated vegetable oil for cooking the egg, bacon and beef then it isn?t that bad. All that meat is low in carbs and, if you take leaner cuts, not too high in saturates. For some weird reason she chooses to cook in butter! :confused:

And yes, she then says put the meat in a muffin or burger bun. Possibly not ideal for someone with diabetes, but not horrific.

But then what possessed her to suggest doughnuts as an alternative? 😱
 
I think the doughnuts are just a weak attempt to draw attention rather than adding anything 'enjoyable' to the meal. If this is the 'Lady's burger', then I wonder what the 'Gentleman's burger' consists of? Double cream and jam topping? 😱
