American Food

I've never actually seen one before. There are a lot of monsterous sized burgers that are promotions/gimmicks to get people into a restaurant. It's also possible this is inteaded as a party/tailgating kind of thing.

You can get 3 foot long subs that are catering items...intended for large gatherings.

Sorry couldn't help it/

That can't be real surely?

That's from fast food chain Wendy's.

Christ alive.

I could understand it as Raffybaby put it that these huge burgers etc are more simple promotional gimmicks or party food. But surely unless you were the size of a truck you're not going to eat that with what 2,000 calories+?!? Sure Jesus you couldn't sleep for a couple of days after that.

That is actually photoshopped.

The actual Baconator is one-half of that sandwich:

And the reality:

I said they were gimmicks...I didn't say they went unpurchased. If they were being bought by indivduals, they wouldn't work to get people in the front door.

You can get a triple, I'm sure of it.

Still, that photo is visibly photoshopped, and was a quad.

But the reality is almost more disgusting.

Sorry I didn't intend to suggest that you thought they went unpurchased. That was a mouthful.

I can understand it a lot better if these are a handful of headline dishes that are used mainly for promotion/reputation etc.

I was querying whether on your average weekend, a material percentage of average customers would order one of these mega dishes. That's all.

It isn't like every person who works in the kitchen in nicer restaurants are exactly angels. I cross my fingers and hope I'm not eating too many pubes.

The truth can be an ugly thing.

That is true. I just mean i can talk about the staff in liverpool that work in Mcdonalds. I know a good number, mainly ebcause htey make friends in there and friend through a friend etc.

i even had a mate who was great on a saturday night, giving you a feast for the price of a burger or taking your fiver and giving you 5 ones back etc. Then he started putting his hand in the till......... works in KFC now lol

and another mate who took inspiration from the last one and put his hand in the till for his weed dealer lol only problem is that he worked for william hill
