I've never heard of a macaroni pie before.
They are basically Macaroni Cheese filling put inside a shortcrust pastry shell and deep fried until almost burnt to a crisp. They soak up all the fat and are 40000 calories per serving. http://www.cookipedia.co.uk/wiki/images ... i_pies.jpg

Thanks for the info CosmicRuss.
I am peeved. Ordered takeout and they didn't give me my fries. Would gasoline bombing the establishment be an overreaction? Kidding, but I really want my fries.

I'll be heading to the local Dairy Queen in a few days.
I've been sick since Christmas and still have a ways to go.
My final step in seeing if I am feeling better after being sick is to go to Dairy Queen and order a hamburger and fries. If I can eat the entire hamburger and fries without a problem, that generally means that I'm back to normal. Kind of like a reverse canary in a coal mine.
I may change my practice this time, though. Of the last five times I went to Dairy Queen (in order of visit):
* Hamburger was really bad. Fries were okay. * Tried chicken sandwich instead. Fries were okay, sandwich was bad. * Hamburger was gummy -- really bad texture. Fries were okay. * Hamburger and fries okay. * Hamburger okay -- fries nearly the worst fries ever. The only thing saving them from being worst fries ever was that they weren't soggy.
I really don't think I want to go back again. Maybe I need a new test to see if I'm feeling better.
