Ive never liked crunchy chicken. Plus dental issues would prevent me from eating even if I was starving.

All kinds of weird at McDonald's Spain:
The amazing Tex-Mex flavor comes to our restaurants with the incredible Grand McExtreme Nachos: delicious sauce of cheddar cheese, tomato, onion, double meat and nachos inside the hamburger!

My brother had an anecdote when his band was doing a European tour and in Italy: After eating real Italian food for a week or so, the guitarist exclaimed "I'm sick of this shit! I want a real pizza; I'm going to Pizza Hut!"
he was dead serious.

When I had Pizza in France right near the Italian border, it was nothing like pizza. It was still really good. Light on cheese and only one topping, "an egg to add protein" essentially oven fried cracked in the middle.A nonny mouse wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:08 pmHa!

I also did not generally care for the food, nor that you had to eat your meals at the prescribed times or not have a meal at all. Some things were really really good though. I had squab/pigeon for the first time and rabbit was fantastic. Beef on any sort was rarely there and never very good. Mostly everything was seafood, which I don't care for and prepared in a way in which I like even less.

I always liked when the USN served us rabbit. So much so that I'm thinking of raising them for meat since I'm not willing to spend what it takes to get some beef anymore.

Back about 20 years ago, McDonald's in Hong Kong served chicken & rice platters, with sauce and veggies. Those were excellent.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Not sure if you have one in Denver (yet), but Jolibee serves something similar...mostly chicken and rice. It's a Filipino chain more common there than McDonald's, and is spreading here. Wife and kids love it, I tend to avoid fried chicken so usually pass, but it's pretty good. Other things on the menu...their burgers (ok), and spaghetti (acquired taste...reminds me of what my aunt made when I was a kid and couldn't stand).

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
What in hell's name. This breaks TWO rules. Crunchy things (pickle is the limit) on the burger and carbs on the burger as a topping. That's from McDonald's? It's satanic.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Never heard of Jolibee...so probably none around here. There are quite a few fast food chains that seem to be struggling in Colorado in general, just a weird market. Blaze Pizza came with lots of fanfare - gone within a couple of years. Larkburger closed all but 1 location. I used to really like Carl's Jr. when I was in college, but they only have a few locations left in the area and none close enough where I'd bother driving out of my way for a burger.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
We've had them around Toronto for a while now as well. I've always been curious to try it. But I'm pretty sure I'd hate the spaghetti's flavour profile lol.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Filipino spaghetti sauce is super sweet, and typically they serve it with cut up hotdogs. Oddly, my aunt (who was certainly NOT Filipino) used to serve us that same thing when I was a kid and grew to loathe it from an early age.
Jollibee's chicken is good (although I avoid fried chicken). Their breakfasts are an acquired taste (do you like canned corned beef?) When I was in the Philippines, I would have their burgers when wife was wanting to go there and I needed to eat something. Haven't had them here...but there they were passable.
Oh, and their peach-mango pies (in the manner of McDonald's fied apple pies) are pretty damn good.

It's different. Not terrible though.
I keep a couple cans of Skyline in the backup food pantry. Rotating them out of stock is usually an all-weekend exercise.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Just had Popeye's for the first time. Waited a half hour in the drive-through lane before even being able to order due to it being so popular. My god, that chicken though! Divine! Where have you been all my life? I'm not usually crazy about pickles, but the pickles added to the overall texture of the juicy yet crunchy yummy chicken. Little things too, like the foil pouch they come in to keep them warm, and the thickness of the chicken. Yeah, I have to say I'm a fan.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Yeah, I can see how that would be a good idea. When we pulled up, we only saw a few people inside ordering, but I have to wonder how speedy it is if all the attention is on the busy drive-through. When it opened last month, they had to hire people from different locations just to staff their grand-openening, as people came from all over just to order. Ours is the only one in this region, so it's servicing quite a large area.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Even if only one person is servicing the walk-up, it's still a lot faster. There were crazy long lines when the Popeyes by us opened a few years ago (not nearly as crazy as the 7 hour lines when Jollibee opened in the northern burbs about 5 years ago), but walking in, I was out in no time. They just opened (or are in the process of opening) another Popeyes in a shopping center just east of here...putting me in the middle and within 5 minutes of 2 of them. I really wish there was more diversity around here, since one was too many.Rumpy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 11:02 pm Yeah, I can see how that would be a good idea.

Looks like Taco Bell is bringing back the Mexican Pizza this week. thank goodness. Missed them.
Also Arbys has a new burger of all things. A Wagyu burger at that. Its mixed with regular beef..its like 52% american wagyu. Reviews are loving it. At $5.99 is barely more than a BigMac and its a big patty too. 50% bigger than a bigmacs patty. Only for 2 months.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
I feel like this was last funny the last time Mike Myers had a hit movie. Every Taco Bell comment thread on the internet has someone complaining their food gives them instant diarrhea. Well, if that's true, it wouldn't be on account of bad/disgusting food. It would be a food allergy.
Mind you I'm not complaining about the above post. That the comment came from a municipal source is kind of funny. But amateur internet comedians, I'm sick of your bullshit. Taco Bell is gross, we get it. (I admit that even as a fan.) But if it makes you that sick, you've got something else going on.

Nah, just don't have them as prominently as you would in the States. There are far less of them, and most of them are in food court malls.
And here's where I admit I've never had any.

Re: Fast Food Foofaraw
Tried this a week or two ago. Expensive (8.99 I think for the basic one w/o bacon). Got one for me and wife. It was definitely a better burger than any other fast food burger I've had. I liked the deluxe w/ all the stuff and sauce.Daehawk wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 4:05 pm Also Arbys has a new burger of all things. A Wagyu burger at that.

Wife wanted just ketchup, pickles - she doesn't like veggies, lactose intolerant so no cheese. They put cheese on hers (ketchup was just going to be packets so we passed on that part). She was very unhappy - ate a couple bites but didn't care for it with the cheese. I ate hers - beef was good, but w/o all the other stuff, not nearly as good a burger.
Hard to say it was as good as a steakhouse burger, but very good for fast food.
