Who knew Red Lobster's biscuits were dangeous?

[Crossbow]

Well, they are if you eat 413 of them in one sitting!

And if the story was nonfiction, it might just happen!

Damn those biscuits are good though.

True story: you can buy the mix at whole sale clubs. And they totally fucking rock . I've got two boxes sitting in my pantry waiting on a time when I pick up some sharp cheddar again.

1/8 of a stick of butter per biscuit? That's an entire tablespoon >_> Two of those is enough to make a pot of (boxed) mac & cheese ... Aiyaaaa....

Explains why they're so good tho. I honestly cannot recall the last time I hit a Red Lobster, despite the fact that I lived about five minutes away from one for much of my life (and I worked in a mall with a RL in the parking lot for several years)

"hospital officials state that they have drained approximately 2 gallons of butter already" Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot

My family only accepts one basket of CBB's at Red Lobster because otherwise we couldn't eat the meal. They're more addictive than crack.

My mom reverse engineered the recipe herself, and now she serves them at all the big family to-do's... Go mom!

ASW - This thread is useless without recipes

Er, I mean, might she be willing to share/post it here (or to the Recipes group on the board here)? ^_^;>

Knew it before scrolling down to said link.

Total B. S.

That remark about doctors draining "2 gallons of butter" . . . the butter in baked goods cannot be reconstituted into liquid form.

Figuring 4 biscuits per cup, that's about 6 gallons of biscuits. Or 16 biscuits per liter, about 26 liters of biscuits.

A human stomach can hold at the most, about 4 liters of food.

This story reminded me of a boring Chinese movie called, "To Survive." (I had to watch it in an English class.) A woman was having a difficult labor during an uprising during the 60's. The green staff brought an older, more experienced doctor who hadn't eaten for days. They gave him steamed buns and water to give him energy. He ate seven buns and drank quite a bit of water. Instead of giving energy, he passed out.

Later, it was revealed that eating a bun followed by water was the equivalence of eating seven buns. Since he ate seven buns and drank water, he ate the equivalence of 49 buns.

No wonder he passed out.

Yeah, I know. Not that it would surprise me if it were real.
Or, more likely, that it gets picked up by mainstream media...

Any wagers on how long before it's on CNN?

EDIT: The UK Mirror doesn't count. They'd publish a story about the sky being red without going outside...

Hmm... Never been to Red Lobster. Are the biscuits really that good? (Story is BS though, I'm pretty sure things like biscuits swell in your stomach, so eating even half of that amount is utterly impossible.)

This is exactly my situation now. I just don't eat out; can't afford it. If I want 'em, I can make cheddar biscuits from scratch. It's not difficult, especially if you make them as drop biscuits. The secret is just a tiny, almost imperceptible amount of garlic powder.

Yes. Yes they are.

I think I will try to talk my hubs into a Red Lobster dinner now...THANKS GUYS.

They are crack in biscuit form.
