This is my favorite review:
KFC:
If there's anything more disgusting than biting into a piece of "fried" chicken and having half a quart of hot water (or something) roll down your chin, I don't know what it is. KFC is f****' grotesque. Hard, deep-fried grease shells, "water," snapping veins, people sucking marrow out of shiny bones, great sheets of animal skin hanging from the corner of glistening mouths... it's like something out of a Dean Koontz novel. This is a place for people not fully evolved to exercise their basic animal instincts, and indulge in a bloody feeding frenzy. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it. Oh sure, I'm a proud carnivore and everything, but I'm not a f***ing dingo! I just experienced a full-body shiver. Sh**t! D


ROFL!!!
:D

If you can't stand the grease, get out of line ;)

When does any food ever look like the picture? You know what they use for pictures of ice cream? Mashed potatoes.

"You know what they use for pictures of ice cream? Mashed potatoes."

friend of my teachers used work as a food photographer. Milk is PVA glue, chicken is chargrilled with a flamethrower and chocolate is made of hardwood.

Most of those didn't look to bad... so much as poorly assembled. The worst one of the lot in my opinion was the "perfect" photo of the beef sandwich near the top. Looks like... beef-lips or something.

[Kenzan]

Japanese food.
But only because they usually take photos of the grub and stick it in there.
My wife often rants about why in the heck Western Menus don't have pictures most of the time.

Which made me think.....yeah! why don't Western restaurants have photos of the food?? Instead, we just get a lousy description of the food!
Somethin' aint right here!

Like drinking, I know fast food is bad for me but occasionally I have to give in and indulge.

How about this...

There is an article in the New York times saying that unsaturated fats in foods like stuff made by Frito Lay can help to curb heart disease. At least that is the label they are going to start putting on their packaging. So now you can eat all the doritos, chips, tostitos, etc to your hearts content so you can stop heart disease... :)

Who cares if I can't leave my house because I am too fat, at least I won't get heart disease.

probably because if they did no one would want to eat there :P

Let me ask you one thing.

Do you ever follow cookbook recipes? Do they always look like how they do in the illustration.

Of course they don't.

TBH I am not over bothered about how food 'looks' just as long as it tastes decent and is reasonably healthy. Although I do enjoy the occasional lapse and hit KFC, McD, BK etc.

I note some posts denoting unhealthy food.

Well mateypeeps I suggest that favourite of those delirious under the effects of alcohol....The Donor Kebab.

Is there anything more gross that reconstituted fatty meat from a sheep continuously 'cooking' in front of a hot lamp, swarmed by flies and served with an obscenely hot sauce that makes your teeth melt.

My arteries are clogging just by thinking about this 'delcacy'.

[ScottUK]

Hehe see my post in this thread about kebabs...

[theicychameleon]

"Do you ever follow cookbook recipes? Do they always look like how they do in the illustration."

Yeah but I'm not getting paid by the hour... $5 isn't to be sniffed at... ok point. :(

I'm a veggie and while I was never one for proper meat I always liked things like burgers etc. After "turning" I gotta say theres not much diferrence. Half the taste of a burger or a kebab is the bread, veggies and sauce. The 'meat' in most of the burgers I've ever had was an afterthought.

Really? Oliver, Ramsay, White, Lawson et al all get paid as much as $5 per hour. Wow I wish I had become a celebrity chef who wrote a cookbook:grin:

Yeah but they work all day and night.... ok you're right again.

[kartoffelngeist]

A really good kebab is really good. A crappy one is really crappy.

Chips, cheese and donor meat is my latest favourite unhealthy thing. With lots of ketchup...

[satsumaruma]

Ahh,

the Scots with their famous healthy diet.

tattie scones, deep fried mars bars, deep fried haggis, deep fried Englishmen

You guys sure know how to live it up.:ditsy: :eek:

It tastes like 3 mars bars in 1.

Excellent :D

[theicychameleon]

Don't forget bashed neeps! :) I remember going to an exhibition about the great famine here and they showed an Irish peasant's meal at the time. A man would get a plate of 20 potatoes, a woman about 15 and a kid about 10... thats about it, oh and some milk.

[MrChow]

We're blessed to have a kebab (we call them Yiros in Adelaide) shop which chargrills their meat. They also do pork yiros and they have been an integral part of many a big night out here in little old Adelaide.

[Andoru]

Kebab is the bomb! Best food to eat while drunk. I have 2 favourite kebab joints, one in Crow's Nest called Boris No Worries (yup that's the name of the shop) which serves bloody excellent lamb kebabs, and the other one in a small stall next to Scruffy Murphy the Irish pub.

In fact, I had chicken kebab with the lot on Sunday night. :)

[kartoffelngeist]

Allegedly there was a place in Glasgow selling deep fried kebabs, covered in cheese, batter, then deep fried. Until the WHO said it was too unhealthy to be sold...

The deep frying thing is one of those rare myths that are actually true. Where I live on Scotland you can buy a slice of deepfried pizza for 50p. It's called a "Scrunchie" and it's just as good as it sounds!

[JoDuncan]

Duh! :laugh:

Deep fried pizzas are the work of filthy weegies. ;)

No, but it is the reason why we're all hyper.

I consider sushi to be fast food since it's ready made but look what I've found today in the papers:
Rat droppings everywhere in sushi factory. (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/rat-droppings-everywhere/2007/05/29/1180205251528.html)

ffs. :mad:

Thats not kosher at all.

I've always been a little dubious about the mass produced sushi franchises cropping up all over the place but woah!

[satsumaruma]

Shouldn't fruit be considered fast food.

No fuss, just pluck and eat. How much chuffin faster do you want?

[Mike Molloy]

Mr Chow - surely the Australian equivalent of the post-quaffage kebab is the fabulous "pie floater"!
I was lucky enought to experience one of these direct from the cart in Adelaide city centre. Superb!

(Recipe, for those who don't know: take a plastic dish and fill with mushy peas, chuck in a meat pie and then slather the whole lot with tomato ketchup. Mmmmmmm.)

[theicychameleon]

Weird, I thought that was only in terry pratchett.

That is pretty unique to Adelaide...I can only find 2 places here in Sydney which serve peas, gravy and ketchup on meat pie.

in our defence, we (most fast food places) are actually cleaner and more sanitary than most hole-in-the-wall-mom-and-pop places. also the is strict quality control over product as every thing is pre-made and shipped to the store (what we call a resturant in the biz) from a main packing center.

just to clear a few thing up.

[theicychameleon]

A cousin of mine was working in a chicken nugget factory recently. It was his job to hose down the floor of giblets after the place closed for the day. Allegedly they were then used by macdonalds. While I'm quite sure that the restauarants and the transportation routes are quite clean I'd be less than sure about the quality of the food itself.

[satsumaruma]

Did you ever see Jamie Oliver do his bit for KFC McD's et al.

He spoke to a group of kids who claimed to prefer McD's KFC etc to what he cooks.He then showed them EXACTLY what goes into KFC, MCD BK etc. Once he had finished scraping it up, piling in the E-numbers, additives, flavourings, colourants etc he cooked it. He also cooked a bird which he had plucked and stuffed in front of them ( give him credit he tried to be fair by making it as gory as possible).

Thing is, not one went for the KFC, McD, BK version.

On another tack. I knew someone who worked for a turkey farm near York (the original York not the New one), He said that all the diseased turkeys used to get sent to a 'certain place in Norfolk'. You work it out.

He alos told me a great yarn about a time when someone had to do a mercy 'killing' of a turkey that was being hounded to death by the other turkeys. It was well battered from its experience and this chap asked how to kill it but didn't have his knife with him. He was told to bite the head off. The approved way is to take the bird in both hands - one holding body, one holding head - and bite through the neck. Not nice but swift and effective.
Unfortunately, this chap didn't know this and put the bird's head in his mouth to bite the neck. The only time my mate realised what he had done was when this chap turned up bleeding profusely from the mouth and several teeth mising still holiding the turkey.

[theicychameleon]

That was my inital thought of how to go about it, I was wondering how he wasn't going to loose his tongue. I did see that jamie oliver thing, it was pretty horrible.
