Man is my tummy aching. One of the managers here at work brought in 5 bags full of McDon's sausage biscuits. That thing has had me gassy all morning long. WTF!

blahblah454

I thought it was general knowledge that Rotten Ronnies was some of the worst food on the planet, guaranteed to make you feel like shit after ingestion.

Leto

makes me think of George Carlin, and "cute little farts". How do you control your emission while at work?

Your post stands in stark contrast to your avatar.

My advice? NEVER EVER EVER EAT MCDONALDS EVER. If someone has a gun pointed at a puppy and demands you have one McNugget, you tell them to go to hell.

I like McD's cheesesburgers every once in awhile.

*shrugs

Strange Famous

yeah, some of their food aint bad. I like the "Big Tasty" burger and I like the milk shakes they do.

When I was 16 I went through a stage of not eating there due to moral reasons... I gave that up some time when I was hungry and there was nothing else open that late at age 23.

By age 40 I'll prolly be to the right of Ustwo politically!

Mc'Nasty's and Toxic Hell are my 2 guilty pleasures. I know for a fact I'm going to feel like shit or be shitting after I eat it, but I do it anyway.

ah, well chilli con carne is about the only meal I can cook properly... although my American mate tells me I should have it with something called "cornbread"

Probably anyone who is from Mexico would be as pissed off with someone claiming they "love Mexican food" cos they like chilli as I would think someone was ridicolous in claiming they "loved English food" cos they like Fish and Chips... but I do love chilli and beef!

Cornbread
Be sure it's real, stone ground yellow cornmeal.

You're in for an awesome surprise.

Within the past 24 hours, I ate around 1 - 1.5 lbs. of sausage from a small family farm. (They were gifts.) They were tasty, and I feel fine.

Why is it that my stomach feels like I swallowed something I shouldn't have after eating only one "sausage" patty at McDonalds?

I am all for McDonald's in moderation... we don't have Quarter Pounder's here so I don't visit McDonald's except to have breakfast. A double cheeseburger does not a Quarter Pounder make.

i hear you on that. i was forced to eat there last week and i was feeling like this afterward. (forced=only place within 50km and no car + stuck there for 5hrs)

We go once a month or so with the kids for a treat. The cheeseburgers are just the right size for those little hands which I'm sure is on purpose. What with the happy meals, playplaces and so on, they sure know how to hook them young.

As long as my other meals on the day aren't shit, I'm not adversely effected by McD's. Ironically, if I'm having a crappy day, McDonalds is somehow just the right place to go for a comfort fix.

I am right there with fresnelly... every once in a while doesn't kill anyone. And those habitrails for kids are awesome. I wish we had them when we were kids... all we had were the playgrounds where you could climb inside mayor mccheese. Not all that bad, BUT, they were all outside. Nothing worse than being there in winter and not being allowed to go out an play.

Heart disease accounts for 29% of all deaths in the US. McDonalds serves foods high in refined sugars, high fructose corn syrup, saturated fats, cholesterol, and empty calories. These can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

Leto

And.... one should be vigilant about one's diet. As Charl was saying, once in a while doesn't kill anyone. But steady consumption (more than once or twice a month perhaps) is insane, i.e. not rational.

A balanced, rational diet should go a long way to reducing heard disease. Fast food is purely a stop-gap for convenience sake and shouldn't be part of one's daily routine.

*edit, I'm a bit of a coffee snob, but I've noticed that their new brew is quite palatable, more to it than Timmy's but less so than Second Cup or Starbucks. I have no compunction in picking up a traveller from McD's while on the road.

Cynthetiq

ick.. i dare say that horrific four letter word...

moderation.

I think I go to McD once every few months if I'm lucky and sometimes it goes into stretches of years.

I'm in college, they have a dollar menu. It's simple math.

Or I throw everyone for a loop and I EAT THE PUPPY!

smoore

It makes a turd.

Jeez, you'd think it was made from worms or something the way you ladies cry about it.

Don't like McD's? Don't go to jail and sure as hell don't join the military. McD's is just food with some extra sodium and some extra fat. It's still a glorious intake of calories to expend on your daily ritual called "work". Do I feel a little lightheaded after eating it? Sure, sometimes. It's definitely no sausage/egg/cheese bagel I bring from home but it doesn't make me shit kittens.

just saw this thread again.... i want a cheeseburger now....

Redlemon

I still get a jones for Burger King, but as many have stated above, it causes me gastro-pain. I finally found a substitute: 5 Guys Burger & Fries. It costs more, sure, but it has the same emotional basic burger resonance, plus Jersey-Boardwalk-style french fries made in peanut oil. And my body survives the impact.

Man, I had a 5 Guys burger recently for the first time at the Reagan Int'l Airport while waiting for a connecting flight. It was really, really good!

If there can be such a thing, I consider myself a bit of a connaisseur when it comes to fast food. Whenever I go to the States, I try to track down some local comfort food. We don't quite have the same tradition here in Canada.

Ladies? Cry? THIS IS MAN TALK:

blahblah454

Dear god will, is that guys body real?

I really try to avoid mcD's at all cost.

There is burger place here in Calgary called "The Burger Inn", it wins top burger joint of the year all the time.
And damn is it ever good. You can get regular beef burgers, steak burgers, ostridge burgers, lamb burgers, buffalo burgers... and I think perhaps there are a few more than I am missing.
In the whole scheme of things they are really decently priced, about 5 or 6 bucks for a single premium burger, and about 4 for the regular kind. Keep in mind these are insane high gay Canadian prices (all our food here is retardedly expensive compared to the states... you have a dollar menu, we have a 1.50 menu). Burgers are all cooked fresh when you order it, so it takes about 5-10 min to get it depending on how busy they are. But damn are they good!! I want one now.

Jenna

Yep, I avoid McDonalds and the super fast food chains at all costs. I'd say I eat there once every 6 months.

Some kids I know eat there everyday. And my grandparents LOVE taking my little cousins to eat there. Yuck, they're already getting them in bad habits!

Although, I still love going out to eat, just not fast food places.

smoore

Heh, sorry 'bout that. I love that picture, what a freak.

But really, it's just food with some unhealthy stuff thrown in for good measure. The more sodium I eat the more water I retain so I don't need to drink as much water, right? (joking, of course)

I ate at Taco Bell once. Actually I bought a beef burrito from there, took one bite and threw it out.

Might have been because the pureed meat filling was oozing out like a tube of toothpaste. Unbelievably gross.

blahblah454

The one time I ever got a burrito from there it did that too, talk about nasty. I have been there about 3 times in my life, all the other times I just get the quesadias (sp?).

highthief

Heh, looks like Paul Dillett, Canuck bodybuilder - heavily photoshopped of course. He was a freak at 300lbs, but not that freakish.

oh man Fesnelly, have you forgotten about Dangerous Dan's?? and their Coronary Burger:




The Coronary Burger Special
2 8oz Patties, 4 Slices of Bacon, 2 Slices of Cheddar and a Fried Egg on top. Served w/ Fries and Gravy, Can of Pop and Mayo as a garnish for sure!
Only $ 13.95


Here is the link to their menu... I kinda want to try the deep fried Mars Bars.

http://www.dangerousdansdiner.com/

another burger offering from DD:

Quadruple C
"Collosal Colon Clogger Combo"
24oz burger served with a quarter pound of cheese, a quarter pound of bacon, and 2 fried eggs. Also comes with a large shake (flavor of your choice) and a small poutine.
Only $ 22.99

Charlatan

Cripes... that's a massive burger. I hope that's for two people.

I've eaten at the DD but never ventured into Coronary territory.

By the way, Leto, I think what Fres was saying we don't have is roadside joints. We do have plenty of diners. I put it down to the extensive highway systems of the US vs. the fairly simple highway system we have in Canada.

As for Diners... I am all for the Lakeview Lunch and breakfast at the Logan Grill.
