Any "fans" of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain?

Oddly enough I haven’t had a Taco Bell meal for years and years. I wasn’t terribly fond of them when they first showed up here in Montana in the late sixties, and I tried one when I came home on leave once in ‘69. We also had (here in Billings) a smaller unit called Taco John’s, and I always liked their stuff better than the Bell.

But for really decent Mexican, since we had a HUGE Mexican population here in town from their working the sugar beet fields and stuff for decades, I would always hit Mamachitas, Torres, and the Guadalajara restaurants.

Even my little sister who still lives in San Antonio enjoyed those three, and she has a great "frame of reference" since her first husband (who died fighting a fire in '81 as a member of SAFD) turned her onto the best in Texas. She retired from the San Antonio FD a few years ago as the first female to make officer rank and the first female to command her own precinct. I'm not too proud of her (giggle, snort).

The only thing that should eat food out of a window is a pigeon.

 

Slip I think you just have delicate disposition. I've never had any problems from Taco Bell aside from the one time I ordered something and bit into a mass of uncooked onion. Yuck. I don't particularly enjoy mexican which is why I like Taco Bell, because it isn't!

 

Me too! MSG gives me a raging headache. I rarely eat fast food or anything out of a can. I never eat Chinese food from a resaurant and I never use any prepared seasonings.

 

My mom has to stay away from the MSG too. Thank God I didn't inherit that from her. Only the sporadic 1-3 hours of sleep per night. I can handle that.

 

My flavor enhancer of choice is bacon. You could fry up a shower shoe wrapped in bacon and I'd eat it. When I make biscuits I substitue bacon grease for shortening, especially if I am making Biscuits and Gravy. I put bacon in brussels sprouts.

 

Oh sorry I must have missed your post. But we were both thinking of the same thing. shows how our great minds think alike!

 

Carl... You think it's bad where you are? A friend of mine who recently returned from a vacation in Florida told me that McDonalds burgers in the US are like "steaks" compared to what they give us in the UK. Personally I call them 'water burgers' and always drive past, never through.

 

Thats definately doable looks y

 

Porcelain bus. Thats a new one on me and ill have to remember to say it sometime. :lol: :lol:

 

Hi Luke, are you SURe you bit into raw Onion? I mean, that damned little dog has been missing for years now :lol: :lol:

 

I'd rather have a real steak or paprika chicken wings, not junk food, but when you are in a hurry I suppose it helps (to get fat)

 

heh heh, try having one made in germany, thats where that old phrase comes to mind: "Wheres the Beef?" I had oen in Germany-one---and couldnt finish it and I only finished off the French Fries.

 

Hamburger Royal mit Kase, bitte. Eine bier auch!

 

Found this just wandering around on the "net" today, and it is sadly too true.

 

I'll tell you from experience even after they first opened up you're not missing a thing. Grill yer own boyz, forget all that carsenigenic fatty breaded B.S. covered plastic food

 

Fish & Chips from chip shops is my limit of fast food and my local dose a nice job in doing them. The big trade names only serve up gunk, chemicals and lots of salt.

I agree with Erich do your own but we have a big problem here in the UK, in the summer months up and down the land the old BBQ's are dusted off and fired up, most part burt on the outside raw in the middle and the smell is dreadful. I wouldn't mind so much if people could damn well cook properly here.

 

think most need some well-educated cooking lessons, hey even in the winter with snow on the ground the BBQ smells stand out, oh my how grand is that after being couped up for too long under grey skies, beak out the wine and dancing women !!
