American Food

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I’m in North Louisiana but we still know how to cook. And don’t share this with anyone but I developed a shellfish allergy during college so I can’t do crawfish books any more. I survive, but it’s a loss.

Burn the Warlock!

We have an American Student (From Virginia Beach) over with us for 9 days. She has never been to the UK and therefore has never been to the Chippy. I took it upon myself to fix this. Ordered a Cowboy Supper (Sausages/Chips/Beans) and a Chicken Kebab on chip with Fried Onions and Curry Sauce for her to try.

She was amazed at how tasty it was. Even putting chips into a bit of bread was alien to her.

Still to do:
Ulster Fry
The local Asian/Himalayan Restaurant
Yellow packet Tayto Crisps

For her own sanity don’t get her hooked on UK crisps, that is just cruel!

Otherwise she will be asking anyone who travels over to pack their bags with them like I did with @ste d' indica

I watched this film/documentary when it came out... I think I've maybe had MacSpew once since then, when 'desperate' one morning on the way home after being out most of the night...

You might want to read up on that doc, a lot was faked (he had a quite severe alcohol problem at the time which rendered a lot of the "findings" moot) and kind of torpedoed his career.

Not to defend McDonalds at all by the way but it's worth knowing the context.

I think his issue with them was they always asked “do you want to Supersize that?” like you were missing out if you didn’t do it, hence the title. It then morphed into him attempting to show how bad for you their food is by eating it for every meal.

His personal issues clearly eventually got the better of him but I wouldn’t like to say they had an influence on him making this? It may be closer that his personal problems were highlighted to prove “fake news”? You can do a lot with a billion dollar industry?

Anyway, one thing stays the same, their food was, is and always will be crap and bad for you. “Happy” meal anyone?

You should try eating some real food. Hard to find in NYC under $50 per plate, but even there I’m sure they have food.

We did, but its nothing better of different than I can get here or anywhere else.

Lots of other great things to do, but it not really a Foody place, imo.

I don't disagree mate, it still tells an important story and also resulted in tangible change within the fast food industry.
I just thought it was worthwhile knowing the full story and that a lot of the 'side effects' he was displaying weren't as clear cut as sold.

I offered to both Walkers and Golden Wonder to be their brand ambassador to California.
Both turned me down.

No vision at all, fk 'em!!
