Just ate 2 Whoppers...might die

with cheese, and I'm not talking Juniors either. Feeling very large right now - I might die, but I'll probably be ok.

This brings up an interesting question for everybody. What's the worst fastfood experience you've ever had? Sure, we've all gotten the runs before, but nobody wants to hear about that. I want to hear about E. Coli horror stories and the like...let's go
 
well - funny you mentioned whoppers - I was out shopping several days ago with a friend and we stopped for a "quick bite" - all I had was a whopper - with cheese - and I was kissing the porcelain God that night - thought I did die - was so sick I wished I would die to get me out of my agony -

do you think I will ever eat another one?

NOT!!!!!

I don't get along with fast food places - how much harm could a flame-grilled burger do?

LOTS!

I am still scarred by the red blotches around my eyes from the "violent attack" yes - it was something I never experienced before and I did have food poisoning twice and salmonella once in my life - and I thought those were bad!

next subject please............
 
I love whoppers from time to time! I am so sorry you got sick MamaM!

I have had a few bouts of food poisioning my worst was from Oysters Rockefeller at a fine dining facility. I am not eating oysters these days as a result!:(

Fast food has never really bothered me, I have been lucky. But of-course I do not eat it alot, it is usually a big disappointment!

Thank you and thank you also to Cathy.

I'm not a big fast food junkie - maybe that is why.

But I have had several experiences with food courts, fast food joints, etc.

I think they are out to get me cuz I'm a homemade cook - or else my innards are spoiled.

Most likely!!!

Off subject but: Do you remember when they 1st came out with Mountain Dew? There was a slogan printed on the outside that said "It'll tickle your innards"! I remember the first time I ever saw that and I burst into laughter!!!


You just made me think of that Mama, maybe your innards only get tickled when it's home-cooked foods only! Hey that slogan gave me an idea for a new thread! Go see it....I will call it Jingles by jinky!!!

I very rarely eat from those places, mainly because they are pants. I will have something from there if I really strapped for time.

A big whoppa or big Mac or Colonel Sanders, not for me. I don't think the franchise travels well.

If you American folk ate one of the Whoppas or big Macs in the UK you would be horrified. They are served tepid, the filled buns have really been hanging around in a warmer somewhere or a very long time. The salad, if you can call it that is warm, limp and watery.

The only thing that is nice is a thick shake, and only then when I have a sore throat.

oh my gosh how horrible!!!!
 
I admit... I'm a sucker for fast-food! Maybe it's just that cooking for one is just so impractical.

My favs are KFC and Popeye's fried chicken, and McDonald's DOUBLE Quarter-Pounders! Also- have you tried McDonald's new Angus burgers? I love the Mushroom & Swiss!

I've only suffered food poisoning twice in my life- and both times it was from the buffet at Pizza Hut. I have to say- for chain pizza, I still love Pizza Hut, though!

Kev you're a trooper!!!

It seems salad bars have dressing that doesn't get rotated to fresh product often enough! I am wary of dressings on those bars and go for a popular brand that I know gets used up, so that hopefully I am getting a fresh batch!
 
I love a good Hardees burger about once a month. There is a chinese restaurant a few counties over that has fantastic sushi I love. The only time I ever got sick from eating out was once when Jon and I went to KFC several years ago. They had just changed over to a new oil and the chicken was so greasy it made us both sick. Havent been back since.
 
I once got sick from food another time- but the food wasn't "bad" per se... it was just the combination of the two foods: KFC fried chicken and a really ripe and fragrant honeydew melon. Both woulda been perfectly delicious independently on their own. But I had them in a single bag together and when I opened the bag and ate some of each- WOW. The weird way both items had adversely interacted w/ the other was awful! A bit of spicy grease- with the heady perfume of the super-ripe melon- EEEKKK!
 
I never eat from a buffet. Especially those places like Pizza Hut, Harvester or Brewsters.

Well unless it is just my family, I trust them to wash their hand well. I have seen to many people go to the toilet and not bother to wash their hands after the loo. Then their handling the food, I don't mind a carvery where we are served by a member of the catering staff, at least then I know that I have less of a chance that my food has not been mauled buy stinking filthy people with sewerage all over their hands.

I think people should be made to use an ultra violet light before visiting the buffet table. If they want to eat their own excrement then up to them, but I don’t.

I'm not a finick as I am a weathered camper, I do not believe a kitchen can not be a totally clean environment (lol) but there is a different between natural dirt and poor hygiene.

My son was in America for a month 4 years ago. He said that there was no comparison between our Mac Donalds, Kentucy Fried Chicken, or Burger King.

It was fresh, more of it, and hot. Unlike the substandard cousins here.

He was amazed by the sandwiches. If you order a sandwich in my country you get two slices of bread and a filling, no garnish, that's it.
 
My friend was a Rotary-exchange student in Quito, Ecuador in the early 80's and she told us in those days the only American joint they had in that huge South American city was a Burger King and that the straws were given out of their paper wrappers and were collected, washed and re-used. How whacko is THAT? Ha! :)
