Fast food gone but not forgotten

Subway Chicken Temptation

The Olympic Breakfast had a massive pile of inedible potato slices. Too thick to be crisps, too thin to be chips. As dry Jack Dee and Alan Rickman's lovechild.

When I was a kid, fried sliced spuds were called scallops, but I think the actual scalloped spuds are in batter.
Anyway, they were a highlight of the Olympic, basically a cross between fries and steak chips

Ulster Fry butty, with fried bread. ( before I became a vegetable )

Haven`t seen it for years.

Too easy and this.
ffs

Not fast food (quite) but Beefeater Pub/ restaurants used to be aspirational when I was late teens, sort of place you’d take a date if you were trying to impress!

I'm guessing the Little Chef I used to let them shrivel under a heat lamp, as the way you describe them sounds proper nice.

It was a Bernie Steak House when I was a lad

Burger King’s spicy bean burger was awesome.

Wimpy seems reasonably priced

No I can't think of any

Cannot remember having any of the delicacies so far described, however I do make my own scallops now and then when I have batter left over when making Yorkshire puddings.

So as to not highjack the Bacon v Sausage thread, what fast food (or other food items) do you long for that are no longer available?

I mentioned the BK Mushroom Double Swiss which was a regular Sat afternoon go to (along with the origional spicy bean burger) while on the lash as a 20 something year old.

So sad.

McRib...

There used to be a place in town here called CT’s …. They used to have a huge griddle and flame grill your burgers, also their chip baps were amazing for some reason and they used to sell a lovely strawberry thick shake. It shut down about 20 years ago but if you mention CT’s to anyone over the age of 40 around here everyone will tell you they miss it.

That was vile, I'm not sure how people forgot that over time

Honourable mention to them in another post, had one when the re did them last year (or whenever it was) and wasn’t as good as I recalled.
Still had to have 5 or 6 of them over the period they were available just to make sure though.
