You need to move to Newfoundland then. More deep fried fish, chicken a saturated fatty food than you can shake a stick at. My fast food alternatives tonight are Fish and Chips, Mary Browns (famous fried chicken and taters), yer usual Mcvomit/A&W/Wendys and Pizza. I'm sure if I look hard enough I can get take out fish and brewis, something involving scrunchions (refried pork scratching) or a hot turkey/beef sandwich (with gravy and fries). It's not hard to see why NL has the highest obesity rates in Canada!

No on all those as well.
Fish and chips, steak, roast beef/pork/lamb, casseroles, pizza, pasta and plenty more besides but all without curry sauce.

Went to Arbys when we were over, can't say i was too impressed with their food. But it was late and we needed something quick and reasonably priced.

Not my home!

Mussels - yes, of the fresh variety yum yum, but not the minging pickled muck you'd buy in a jar or from a dodgy East End barrow boy!
