I thought you were starting a post about a diet for your marathon so clicked in order to tell you that you'd disappear if you cut out carbs.

I saw the posters for that yesterday and had to look twice. No bread, just double deep-fried, hormone-stuffed chicken. A great addition to the diets of the diabetic and obese of this town. *sarcastic emoji*

Everything is planned :)

Hey Im all for trying new things atleast once.
Ramzan is just around the corner and I think after 12 hours of no food, I should be able to digest atleast one of these, in 20 days I think ;)
btw on a more serious note, obesity is SO rampant here and SO easy to pick up that I sometimes think these large fast food companies actually have a vendetta against the human kind itself

They don't need to offer that in the states, they have a much poisonous version of it called the corporate democracy aka the GOP/Hillary duo! And believe me that duo is more effective at destroying lives a hundred times over than that heart stopping burger mate

KFC IS THE BEST (in UK)

It doesn't taste right here. The filipinos who love anything fried eat another brand I've forgotten what it is.

Looks like a perfect hangover cure!

I learned how to make fried chicken when I was in Louisiana...still do a fry from time to time. Turkey is also pretty good for frying.

N.

It's their chips, when delivered that are an utter disgrace.

Burger King here is pretty poor too actually.

That being said, I'm now more of a grown up and eat less of this stuff. :blink:

It's just less frequent nowadays.

Do you really eat that all in one sitting?

The self loathing for me starts at around the chips when eating a big mac meal. Although I do love them.

Full confession:

It did briefly occur to me if it was you and your missus who were having the threesome with David Furness that's causing the huge furore in UK press as they can't publish his name. Then I remembered it was an American couple so you're off the hook :cool:

Yeah, but don't I don't get the chips and I'm a lot fatter than you. If I get chips then normally one burger + the 9 nug chaser.

Probably eat that once a month at most and when hangover is extreme or if Maccy's are open when I get home. Otherwise we have a Zataar downstairs that's 24 hours and there's minimal guilt attached to their wraps and pizzas.

Gotta dry hump the nuggs because the ketchup they provide is rank and the fridge is too far from the sofa to be considered a viable detour when starving.

Do u not have the mustard sauce with the nuggets from Maccy's:ohmy:

Re: Low Carb diets
 
Do the chicken nuggets contain any chicken? I find nuggets really revolting.

I accidentally ordered a double whopper meal in the UK last week. That was terrible (and cost almost a tenner in the motorway rip off place).

I've now realised what you mean by hanging... Big Mac all the way, and if possible oral sex. Known cures.

No. Sometimes ketchup. Normally just naked nuggs.

No idea if they do or don't. Do Big Macs contain any beef? I'm assuming the content will be broadly similar.

Burger King is really hit or miss.

Nobody needs mustard on a hangover.

Not yet. But I was semi disgusted when I had just ham and cheese sarnies for lunch instead of some nuggs.
