i have invented something called 'the vegetarian sandwich' which is where you get a cheese and onion pasty and a vegan steak bake and put one on top of the other and eat it like that

I had some cereal but Greggs is better

probably taco bell

We had taco bell the other day, it was fucking terrible. Never again. Never.

i have actually had it. its associated in my mind with depression. they have one in chelmsford and i used to pop in on my way to visit my friend in the prison there just to compound the misery.

This is like the stuff you see in that Diners, Dives thingy... they make a sandwich or something and you're thinking that looks pretty good, and then they go "and then we add bacon and cover it in cheese and deep fry it and then batter it and deep fry it again" - I mean, I am a fat bastard but it makes me feel sick.

Fast food provide some of the few capital e Events over here. Mass pandemonium for the popeyes chicken sandwich. Similar fan fare for the kfc double down sandwich

how much is a big mac in the us? i was in a mcdonalds recently and thought it wasn't even that cheap.

It’s not that big. from a different era of McDonald’s branding

Champagne and Fast Food Are the Perfect Pairing

The high-low combination is the height of decadence, plus it tastes amazing.

Its bright, bubbly, acidic nature makes it the perfect foil for fat and salt, the two ingredients that make fast food appealing in the first place. Chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, pizza, and any other kind of fatty, savory takeout all benefit from the dry wine’s laser-sharp, palate-cleansing tartness. (It prevents your tongue from becoming saturated, allowing you to eat more.) 🤮

Apparently that’s an April fools ruse by kfc themselves

there is sometimes an urge we get to eat dirty nasty food but unless your drunk its never satisfying, in fact its always sad
