excess verbiage

This is from a while ago when I was in the States. Had a huge American breakfast that was essentially a heart attack special - the biscuits and gravy meal. It came with sausage and eggs. It was such a heavy meal, I could only eat the eggs, a couple of the sausages, about 1/3 of one of the biscuits, and the grapes. And I believe the gravy was sausage gravy - meaning they sauteed crumbled sausage into the gravy. Oh yes they did. I think I died a little that day. Took off an extra 6 months off my life. Tasted good though. But those kinds of foods always do, don't they? They're the devil on a plate.
