Well, I had a grocery list before I looked at lemmy today. Now I have a grocery list with "French fries and poblanos" hastily scribbled at the bottom of it

Probably best to just have poblanos on the permanent list. They used to be in mine but they made it so you can't buy just one anymore but have to buy a bag of them.
That looks like I would absolutely destroy that plate when I'm drunk
If I were drunk I would have doused this in pepper sauce or made a quick batch of enchilada sauce to drizzle over it.
Spiced french fries with cheese are always going to be tasty, but you've made it healthier by adding fresh veg! And then made it less healthy by adding smoked sausage! I'm sure the sausage makes it tasty, tho.
honestly the balance of protein from sausage, carbs from fries and nutrients from the veg makes this a pretty well-rounded meal desipte what diet culture might say lol
Don't underestimate the protein from the potatoes. But, yes, overall this is an incredibly balanced meal with the fries being baked instead of deep fried.
I was trying to say that a fresh meat would have been healthier than a smoked sausage with nitrites and all. You CAN get nitrite-free sausage, but unless you're looking for that in particular, any given smoked sausage probably has questionable additives.
Random info:
Also, and I can't stress this enough, smoked sausage with all the n's in it is tasty. If you're eating it you're not looking for health food. In this particular case, it worked out to 2 oz per person. Just enough to brighten things up. I'm going to commit sacrilege soon and do fried rice with smoked sausage. I expect it to be very tasty. And it will be close to 4 oz per person.
Sometimes you eat smoked sausage because you crave smoked sausage. Not because you're looking for a healthy protein.
I agree. Smoked sausage is tasty :-)
I grew up everywhere but The South. Then I moved there. I was excited to learn that smoke sausage was always an option like bacon and sausage link or patty. A whole new breakfast protein was suddenly available on every menu.
Then I moved deeper south. To the Charlotte area. They had a fourth option I had never even heard of. Livermush. I haven't had smoked sausage since. Because if you are looking for an epic breakfast meat with a strong flavor you can't beat livermush.
There is a fifth breakfast meat that is also epic. Chorizo. I was excited when Taco Bell announced they were going to start offering breakfast. And then I was crushed when I found out it wouldn't include chorizo. I never eat breakfast at Taco Bell. They could change that. They could offer chorizo. A spicy potato soft taco with chorizo added would be amazing.
If you like livermush and you're ever near D.C./Maryland, try scrapple, which is almost the same thing.
Not enough liver. But it is a close second.
A lot of the nitrate-free stuff is just "no added nitrates/nitrites added" stuff that is loaded with celery salt containing all the necessary n's. AKA nitrate free is really just old school n's.
