Calorie-comfortable Americans have found the perfect rejoinder to the healthy eating lobby the doughnut burger.
Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered, grilled and glazed doughnut standing in for a bun, the Craz-E Burger puts such fatty delights as the deep-fried Mars bar in the shade.
Its 1,500 calories of sugar and saturated fat did not stop it from becoming a huge hit at a major fair in Massachusetts.
Organisers of the Big E, which finished on Sunday, said visitors bought around 1,000 Craz-E burgers each day of the fair's 17-day run.
"No single ingredient doinates the burger. They all complement each other," said the fair's website calling it classic fair food.
