Fast Food -

Speaking of Vegan food, have you ever tried El Piano, Maxy? They're vegan and when I went there the food's delicious. Omnomnom.

I haven't, but I'll give them a try if I find myself in York.

There was a fast food place in the city which was very nice until it burnt down years ago, probably some kitchen related goof.

The name was a tongue twister. Abrakabra something, fuck, I can't remember. It probably still has stores around.

I find the nicest things in obscure fast food outlets.

Like Wheelers!

I don't like McDonald's but I do eat there occasionally.

Are you sure it wasn't Katayas?

No, I distinctly remember it happened two days after starting that programme at Joblink after I left school. It was where Rockets is now.

I enjoy fast food, and I'm lucky enough to have a fast metabolism.

McDonald's is okay, but personally I prefer Burger King's burgers - problem is McD's is far, far cheaper.

KFC is good every once in a while, but there aren't any close by where I live, so they're usually reserved for days out and such. Same goes for Subway.

If local takeaways count as fast food, though, I'm spoiled - great Chinese and a great Indian (who also do pizzas and just about everything else under the sun).

For some reason, pizza takeaways just never do it for me, with the exception of the Indian mentioned above - Domino's and Pizza Hut just don't taste right.

Also, I am a heartless person and don't get fazed by where my food comes from or what it does to my body. Tastes good, man.

Mr. Bungle · #39 05-18-2011, 12:14 PM

Ugh, I ate McDonald's for the first time in months today. Feels bad, man. The afteraste is awful. But I was hungry, and my mom was in a rush, so I couldn't have Subway.

Subway is the best fast food, I think. Meatball subs are amazing.

Havoc · #40 05-18-2011, 12:21 PM

Wait, you eat at Mcdonalds because you're hungry?

OANST · #41 05-18-2011, 12:22 PM

I eat there for the prestige.

A foot long, steak and cheese on Italian herbs and cheese bread with lettuce, green peppers, red onions and jalapeno's. It's fucking lovely.

Try it, thank me later.

I like dominos, but only the barbeque base pizzas.

The Americano pizzas from Dominos are to fucking die for.

Nothing that comes from a Domino's kitchen is worth dying for. I'm sure some have died from it though.

Actually that goes for every fast food kitchen, with the exception of Mcdonalds' McRib.

Everything from McDonalds is rancid and horrible and has to be the most emptiest bit of food I've ever had. I can go in there and spend 6 pounds on a meal and then go home to raid the fridge because I was still hungry. I would be less pissed if it tasted nice to begin with.

I like the McFlurry's now don't get me wrong.

Wings of Fire · #45 05-18-2011, 12:30 PM

Essentially I only go for the 'nana shakes.

They took out banana shakes here and replaced them with apple/pear shakes. Fucking digusting, who came up with that crap?

After the third Big Mac his taste buds upped and left I reckon. Fair fucks to the man anyways, he has a stronger stomach than me.

Havoc · #49 05-18-2011, 12:34 PM

Didn't his regular Mcdonalds name something after that guy? I remember him from the Supersize Me docu.

I used to love fast food, with Burger King being my favorite, but now it all makes me feel awful. The only "fast food" place I love is Subway and Quiznos (for those that don't know; like subway but is very heavy on toasting the subs), and even then I don't really consider those to be fast food places since they don't have anywhere near as awful an effect on your body and I end up feeling slow and lazy not from eating badly but from a NICE FULL STOMACH SO GOOD GONNA SLEEP FOREVER.

MeechMunchie · #52 05-19-2011, 09:06 AM

I don't like takeaway pizzas. They taste weird. The dough is always sour for some reason.

I ate in McDonald's for the first time in years a few months ago while waiting for a film to start. It was quite nice. Nicer than I remembered, at any rate. They seem to have cleaned up their act a little.

KFC seems like the kind of thing I'd like, but I don't recall ever eating there. I don't really like burgers so I'll probably try it someday.

Fish 'n' Chips is best. Americans don't know what they're missing.

Subway is fine. They make sandwiches and their sandwiches taste like sandwiches. That's about all you can ask from a sandwich. It's not exactly fancy cusine.

Oh, and Max, my sister is vegan so I have experience of trying to find somewhere to eat with her. A lot of places don't mind leaving stuff out if you ask.

EDIT: I also like curry and Chinese food.

This, except you can have my fish.

I often have to do that, but if their veggie burger or pizza base or pasta sauce or whatever just happens to contain milk, there's no real way around that. Pizza Express will let you have a cheeseless veg pizza, which is about as awesome as it sounds, but better than nothing.

I once ate at a Frankie and Benny's, where the only vegan option was the Caesar salad with the non-vegan bits removed. Hint: That leaves lettuce and tomato.

Crashpunk · #55 05-20-2011, 01:37 AM

I have KFC the most. I know they are some veggies on the forums but, I just love it.

I'm pretty sure they have fish and FRIES in America.

Phylum · #57 05-20-2011, 03:44 AM

I've never liked burgers. The combination of cardboard-y bread, plastic cheese and shitty meat just puts me off of them. I also detest fatty, greasy foods. I feel ill eating them.

Sometimes I can eat KFC or pizza if I have to. Often they leave me with an upset stomach the morning after. I can manage some Asian fast food places, but most of them either taste odd or are really fatty and greasy to the point where they upset my stomach.

The only decent fast food place around me is Red Rooster, which make good chicken and have lovely chips.

Ridg3 · #58 05-20-2011, 03:46 AM

KFC is worth all the food poisoning that it gives you becuase it is damn tasty.

moxco · #59 05-20-2011, 05:07 AM

I sometimes get cravings for KFC original recipe chicken even though I find the stuff makes me feel sick and doesn't even taste that good anyway. In my city there is a small chain of restaurants called Pizza Capers, though more expensive it tastes rather nice compared to Dominoes and Pizza Hut.

I've asked American friends and they say America doesn't appreciate it in the same way; a bit like cheese or tea.
