Here's a French fry PIZZA. The gut-busting 12" [inch] creation features fries instead of a traditional dough base with mozzarella sprinked on top. And it is finished off with 15 slices of pepperoni and tomato sauce. It is the brainchild of US-based food blogger, Clifford Endo. He said: "I've see many variations of the french fry pizza combo, but none that actually looked like a pizza. "Using cheese as a glue to hold the fries together I was able to create a crust and build a pizza on top of it." He also boasts that it is "gluten free". Clifford unveiled it on his 'kitchen hacks' website, Foodinese.com. Pictured: French fry pizza Ref: SPL848967 230914 Picture by: Splash/Foodinese.com Splash News and Pictures Los Angeles: 310-821-2666 New York: 212-619-2666 London: 870-934-2666 photodesk@splashnews.com

A French fry pizza now exists. That sound is your cholesterol skyrocketing. Splash
