Today's Discussion is on the mysterious iHob and their menu food items.

Yeah, I know I'm late to the punch on IHob jokes.

And yeah, I know this is a super random post.

I was at the grocery store minding my own business, pushing my cart past family after family to grab myself a provolne cheese sample when I saw it - the grossest "food" I've ever seen. It was a waffle sandwich (I didn't get close enough to check what horrible ingredient could be inside it), coated with sugar and sprinkles and icing and bubble gum and more sugar. I snapchatted it to my friends and then forgot that snapchat doesn't save pictures unless you add it to your story...so, sorry Internet friends, I don't have a picture of it. Trust me, you wouldn't want to see this thing.

What the horrible-looking dessert made me think of was IHop menu items my little sister used to get when we'd go out for breakfast - oh, excuse me, I need to change up this sentence real quick. Ahem. What the horrible-looking dessert made me think of was IHob menu items my little sister used to ger when we'd go out for any meal of the day. Seriously why did the change their name? I mean, look at the image I posted with this blog post! The comapany's website only changed the name of the website, not any other mention of "iHop" on the rest of the website. Ugh. But, I digress, we are here to talk about iHob food, not the laziness of the website designers.

IHob was a place my family used to go to a lot as there were no other breakfast places around the area I grew up in (shocker, I know, we had no Waffle Houses). As I love breakfast food, I actually have tried a fair bit of their menu, at least for the breakfast items. Sorry iHob, but I'm sticking to talking about breakfast. I mean IHob could stand for "International House of Breakfast", which would have made way more sense, but whatever.

Here is a detailed list of the top five foods at iHob I would NEVER try...because they look disgusting. This list is in no particular order:

1. Cupcake Pancakes. Okay, there are a lot of gross-looking pancakes I could add to this list, but we will stick with the one. Honestly, the nastiest part of these pancakes are that it comes with four of these suckers when ordered alone. You can also put strawberry syrup on this for just an extra dose of sugar. Why aren't these kid-sized only? Hey, I mean if you are an adult and you want confetti pancakes, you do you (I'm a huge fan of confetti cake so I got you), but adding whipped cream and syrup? Gah! It's just too much to handle for this gal.

2. Stuffed French Toast. The description of this item reads "Back by popular demand..." so I guess I'm out of the majority here. But, seriously? Would you eat syrupy bread with glazed strawberries inside of it and on top of it? People really like sugar, I guess. This item is similar to the pancakes, as it has whipped cream and sugar, America's favorite apparently.

3.Banana Crepes with Nutella. This one is more of a normal breakfast staple. Crepes are often pared with Nutella...and I HATE IT. Nutella is just a gross version of peanut butter. I mean if you want to eat something "healthier" than peanut butter go with honey almond butter! It's actually rather good! Take out the Nutella with the breakfast item and you've got a winner.

4.Cheeseburger Omelette. No! Don't go bringing your "ihob" name into - too late. This omelette is topped with ketchup and mustard. That's just gross. Also the picture on the website just makes me sick to my stomach. Enough said.

5.Colorado Omelette. Want to kill a pig and a cow with one meal? Well, here you go! This omelette has shredded pork, bacon, sausage and ham stuffed inside it. The description even goes on to say that you get a side too, like three pancakes or hash browns. Man, anyone who orders this must be a college kid with the munchies. Or someone who just loves eating a ton of meat.

There were two omelettes on this list because the pictures just make them look so filling and heart-attack worthy. But, I did find it funny that there is a picture of an egg white omelette and it's all sad and flat compared to the other meat-filled ones. Don't get this list wrong though! I love omelettes! If I did the "create your own" option, mine would have cheddar cheese and spinach. Yeah, it would be sad and flat too.

As much as I love to douse my pancakes or waffles in syrup, I've never been a fan of the extra sugar (that sounds super contradictory). By that I mean flavored-syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, fruit or any other crap you'd decorate your plate with. My little sister would always get strawberries on her pancakes and I always thought it was disgusting. If we went back to Ihob today she'd probably get those gross cake batter ones...yuck...

Was there anything that made my list that is your favorite? Let me know in the comments (you crazy person, you)!

Love,
