You have to be fast to eat idiot food....



"I'd hit Subway...the food is better for you, fresher and won't make you feel like crap"

The LAST time I was in a Subway (ever!), I watched the guy before me have a stand-up argument with the server. He got eventually given what he wanted. While I was being served by another server, I watched the first server dismantle and replace the ingredients in the trays... If I hadn't been in a real hurry...



I really prefer Sushi now - and it's easy and MUCH cheaper to make it at home, exactly the way you want. Great for party food too.



I remember REAL Aussie hamburgers... individually made to order, you could even look at the uncooked patty and see just how much breadcrumbs they had put in - adding breadcrumbs was a standard English -> Aussie Tradition... now the Yanks have spoiled all that... and Aussie burgers had MORE vege matter than meat... and SLICED BEETROOT! with no Dill Pickles... very hard to find the shops now... which also used to do real 'fish & chips'...

Real burger patties were not just ground meat (and NOT the highest grade meat, the lower grades were for mince!), but had some breadcrumbs or flour (helped to bind and soak up some of the fat) and often onions and even other very small chunks of veges too.



Most amazing burger I had recently was in Toowoomba - in a strange place - 50/60s theme combo second hand junk shop, dance club floor and food bar. I had taken a friend there for her birthday present, and she thoroughly enjoyed the whole place.

The 'serving plates' were heated and folded LP records (lined with paper), which from the titles, were very appropriately used - it being a 'Rock and Roll' era theme place, all those mushy strings and crooner LPs were put to real good use! :-)

The buns were about 6-8 inches in diameter!!!! and PACKED with STUFF! I doubt even Clinton could get his mouth open wide enough to take a bite from top to bottom... :-)
