"McDonald's has better french fries"

Shoestring chips have a much higher fat content than 'chunky chips'. The type of oil also affects taste - best British chips used to be done in lard.


"Meat in London is horrific. Someone needs to show them how to make a hamburger and what a steak is supposed to be."

Aussie meat is favoured for US hamburgers, and steaks, I'm told. Also cheap burger meat tastes different from prime ground beef. Can't send as much there as they(and we)'d like, and since UK joined EU, same thing there. But please don't come here, just take my word... British style 'burger patties' used to not be 100% meat, but contain grain products for fillers and extenders. British meat is more often used for more interesting dishes than hamburger patties, for which traditionally used only the lowest grades of meat were used = including lips, and the bits that we now know MG has eaten! :-) - they were often the food of the poor. You must not have eaten in Maccas - they insist that the food is the same best quality bland shit everywhere worldwide.

Quality fish and chip shops used to let you select your type and piece from the display then batter and cook it on the spot.


Narrow mindedness mainly consists in trying to prove to others that one is not interested in understanding others.


"Surely far more interesting is a bore who doth roam,
than one who has remained at home."
