From Chicken Kiev to Scotch Eggs, Some of the Worst Dishes on Earth

Bored with French friends and cheesecake and all those other mundane artery cloggers? Here are some of the most outrageously unhealthy foods imaginable.

There's no shortage of unhealthy treats out there to clog our arteries. However, a few foods stand out as so outrageously unhealthy that you feel a little greasy just thinking about them. Here's a few of the most unhealthy things you can eat on the the planet Earth.

Chicken Kiev

Here's how you make this heart-stopping Russian dish. You start with 4 chicken breasts and pound them out. Then you take a whole stick of butter and cut it into four strips. Each wedge of butter is wrapped in a chicken breast, and then the breast is battered and deep fried. Wow! You may as well just skip the chicken and deep fry a stick of batter-dipped butter.

Scotch Eggs

If your standard egg just doesn't have enough cholesterol, here's how to bump it up. Wrap a hard boiled egg in sausage, dip it in bread crumbs, and deep fry it. For added effect, serve your Scotch egg with mayonnaise or ranch dressing.

Deep Fried Candy Bars

If a plain old candy bar isn't indulgent enough for you, check out this state fair treat. Coat a candy bar with funnel cake dough and deep fry it. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. It's kind of like a candy bar wrapped up in a donut. In the U.S., the candy bar of choice is usually a Snickers or Milky Way; in England, Mars Bars are preferred. For a similarly outrageous sensation, try a deep fried Twinkie or a slice of deep fried cheesecake.

The Luther Burger

Named after R & B singer Luther Vandross, the Luther Burger is a bacon cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme donut. What, no chili?

Pasta alla Carbonara

Sauces don't get much more decadent than carbonara sauce. The ingredients are simple: cream, bacon, Parmesan cheese, and eggs-- usually about 4 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks. Oh, and black pepper, for what that's worth. Be sure to serve this with refined white pasta, as you wouldn't want to ruin the effect with the healthy whole grain stuff.

Burger King Quad Stacker

It's no secret that fast food burgers are unhealthy, but this one will make your jaw drop (which may come in handy if you actually try to fit this thing in your mouth). This mammoth pile of meat consists of four beef patties, 4 slices of American cheese, and 8 slices of bacon. No pesky lettuce and tomatoes or other stuff that grows in the ground. The stats: 1000 calories, 68 grams fat, 1,800 mg sodium.
