    That could be good the cup kinda makes it weird but it doesn’t seem much different than a taco salad supreme

      Or — and hear me out here — you could put all those things on a plate and eat them like a person.

        Honestly, I like the fact that I could hold and eat this while doing other things at a BBQ. It would also be useful if there’s not a lot of seating for everyone.

        I am a sucker for turning normally-sweet treats into savory ones, though - I turned my cinnamon rolls recipe into a cheesy rolls recipe a few years ago, and I consider it one of the best ideas I’ve ever had, so maybe it’s just me.

          But this isn’t “making a treat savory”, this is “put things you’d normally eat as a regular dish, put them into a plastic cup and pretend it’s revolutionary”.

              Is it frozen? No? Why should it be a parfait then? Just because something looks vaguely like something else, it’s not that thing. Gravy can look like chocolate sauce, so can I call my meat “pork au chocolat” then?"

                Frozen? Every parfait I’ve had has just been yogurt with berries and jam in it. Also, yes, if you use chocolate sauce instead of gravy, you can absolutely call it pork au chocolat. It would probably be better if you switched out the pork for something like pancakes, but you do you; one of the best things about food is that you can do whatever you want with it.

        That’s very civilized of you to use a plate when you eat people.

    • I’ve had one that used baked beans in place of the pork. It was delicious. From the examples I’ve seen the cup started from food trucks where it was more convenient to had out a cup than a plate. Now restaurants are picking up the cup thing cause it’s a “trend”.

      Perhaps, but I’m guessing it’s still gonna give you some mean shits

        Uh, have you had a food allergy test? Nothing in there should cause problems. It’s just a regular bbq plate, but layered. Staple of the South and most don’t have problems like that.

          Don’t think I have any allergies but I am sensing a distinct lack of fiber here. Might not wreck you immediately but it the long run, it will.

            Most people can have a fiberless meal or two no problem before BMs become irregular.

    This is an “imparfait”

    Fun fact: it’s also one of the past tenses in French.

    Alright food topology experts: is a parfait a type of shepherd’s pie? A type of lazagna? A tiramisu, perhaps? I need answers.

      A tiramisu is a sweet lasagna. You have alternating layers of carb and sauce and cheese mixture of some kind.

      A shepherd’s pie is it’s own unique thing as there are no alternating layers and the cheese layers are not mandatory.

      The French parfait (different from what you’re probably thinking) is a flipped shepherd’s pie.

      The American parfait is lasagna, as it’s usually alternating layers of carb, fruits (with their sauce, often very jammy), and not cheese but a dairy mixture still.

      According to Wikipedia, it’s frozen custard if you’re in France, but in America, it’s basically a layered dessert.

      Which means this thing actually DOES follow most of the rules, it’s just failing at the dessert part. Unless you’re the type of person who considers pizza a vegetable, I guess.
