A mammoth bacon cheeseburger in the US has taken the crown as the world’s biggest burger.
While incredibly unhealthy, the record breaking one-ton bacon cheeseburger is the ultimate food craze. At 2,014 pound and a 10-foot diameter, a Minnesota casino managed to enter the Guinness World Record book with a bacon cheeseburger that had to be lifted with a crane.

It seems only yesterday that the previous world’s biggest burger was being announced, weighing in at 352kg. But on 2nd September 2012 at the Black Bear Casino Resort in Minnesota, that record was blown out of the water, with a Guinness World Record breaking 2,014 lb burger!
To break the record, the bun and burger must be cooked on the same day and so a specially constructed outdoor oven was used to cook the bun (7 hours) and the burger (4 hours) before the 2 were combined with: 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of lettuce, 50 pounds of sliced onions, 40 pounds of pickles and 40 pounds of cheese!

Finally together, the behemoth of burger was announced as a Guinness World Record breaker: “What I saw today was a feat of remarkable teamwork that resulted in a world record burger that actually tastes really good,’ said Guinness Records rep. Philip Robertson (slightly surprised that the burger actually tasted good by the sounds of it).

The remainder was cut up and fed, for free, to guests that had congregated around the mammoth of meat. A reasonable reward after watching people cook a giant burger bun for 7 hours we imagine. No word on whether it included a drink and fries.

Packed with vitamin c, antioxidants and power boosting protein, this Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pop is the perfect summer treat.
If you are looking for a tasty way to beat the summer heat in Cyprus, the Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pop is just the perfect treat LetsEat have a deep love and appreciation for all things lemon.  Whether its sweet treats, savory eats, household remedies or beauty treatments we are always happy to use lemon.  We always have a fruit basket full of lemons and a good portion of the year we are fortunate enough to have a few tree full of lemons.

As we was preparing these fabulously flavorful frozen treats, all we could think about was biting into one.  Savoring the layers of tart lemon juice and lemon zest and contrasting sweet raspberries perfectly combined with smooth and creamy protein packed yogurt.  We very carefully constructed each popsicle.  Took my time, I mean look at those raspberries, all with the end game in mind.  These were mine!  LetsEat doesn't care for popsicles that much and Munchkins palette isn't quite developed enough to really enjoy lemon yet.

Thankfully raspberries are on sale so we can really stock up on these ice pops.  Low calorie, healthy treat.  The perfect dessert for us to eat!

Enjoy! You might want to hide these though. Seriously, behind the vegetables or something.
Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pops
makes approximately 10 ice pops

¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoons lemon zest (zest of one lemon)
½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons juiced)
1 ½ cups plain yogurt
6 ounces fresh raspberries, cleaned (large ones cut in half)

Evenly distribute raspberries between ice pop molds.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest and sugar.  Smash lemon zest with a fork until all sugar is coated in lemon.  Add lemon juice and yogurt.  Stir until well combined.

Pour into molds.  Cover with aluminum foil and add sticks.  Freeze for 4-24 hours.

As the saying goes, change is inevitable... except from a vending machine.


Here at the Let's Eat blog we have been truly gobsmacked by tales of the mashed potato vending machine.

Currently doing the rounds on the Internet, the above clip shows the mashed potato and gravy vending machine at work in a 7-Eleven store in Singapore where, apparently, the idea of buying a takeaway tub of mashed spuds is commonplace.

Fair enough. Cultural differences and all that but those of us with long memories may recall the last time that mashed potatoes and machines got mixed up. Does the phrase ‘For mash get Smash’ ring any bells?
