MSNBC has an interesting feature called "The 20 saltiest foods in America." They could not possibly have tested all the foods in America but they have certainly found twenty extremely salty foods. Here's a sample of the findings.
Saltiest Dish in America: Romano's Macaroni Grill Chicken Portobello - 7,300 mg sodium, 1,020 calories, 66 g fat
Saltiest Dessert: Atlanta Bread Company Raspberry Scone - 1,750 mg sodium, 360 calories
Saltiest Appetizer: Papa John's Cheesesticks with Buffalo Sauce - 6,700 mg sodium, 2,605 calories, 113 g fat, 296 g carbs
Saltiest TV Dinner: Swanson Hungry-Man XXL Roasted Carved Turkey - 4,480 mg sodium, 1,360 calories, 70 g fat
A lot of frozen foods have high salt counts in addition to Hungry-Man frozen dinner mentioned above. That's a grocery store aisle you may want to avoid if you are trying to cut salt.
Reuters reports on Uruguay's record-breaking barbecue. The new Guiness World Record barbecue held 6 tons of charcoal and 12 tons of beef in a massive one mile long grill.
1200 Pound Cheese Block Carved into the Statue of Liberty
Champion cheese carver Troy Landwehr carves a 1200 pound block of cheddar cheese into the Statue of Liberty. This was an impressive feat that took several days of careful carving. The music in the video clip from CBS is "Bedridden" by The Sweet Nothings.
Gizmag reports that the canned food geniuses at Trekking-Mahlzeiten have created a canned cheesburger. The cheeseburger in a can is sold here. It is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need only to toss the can in boiling water for a few minutes and then open the can and eat the cheesburger goodness found within.
The canned cheeseburger is sold under one of Katadyn's best known brands, Trekking-Mahlzeiten, a subsidiary company that develops specialist ready-meals for the outdoor, expedition and extreme athlete markets.
The high tech hamburger has been developed for trekkers and the non-traditional metal wrapping reflects the Trekking-Mahlzeiten company ethos that its speciality meals should be easy to prepare and require only water to do so - simply throw the can into a water container over a fire, give it a minute or two, fish it out, open the lid, and eat. With a shelf life of twelve months without requiring refrigeration, the lightweight snack is the ideal fast food treat for the wilderness.
Chow doesn't believe the cheeseburger in the photograph is really the one that came out of the can. It probably isn't - it looks impossibly larger than the can. But the delicious food you see in commercials often isn't the actual food either. Kudos to Co-ed Magazine for the clever headline, "I Can Has Canned Cheezburger?" Gridskipper has a video of someone in Germany taste-testing the canned cheesburger.
