I know it's in a far away land but I think I will lay off the fast food for a little while.

Some of the stories from fast food joints are great. Any to share? Go ahead. :cool:

Mr. Incognito

You just have an agenda against fast food joints because they are eating your lady's delicious family.

You should start an anti french thread for your paraplegic cousins there kermit

There was a rumour about our local chipper.

Apparently this woman took violently ill one night after eating a takeaway, and was rushed to hospital with severe stomach pains.

Anyways, after a speedy trip to A&E, the poor woman was seen.by.several doctors, and had xrays of her tummy taken.

The hospital staff were flabbergasted at the xray results, as it showed up, what looked like a half digested, dead mouse in her stomach:eek:

Obviously with her consuming a takeaway, a mere few hours beforehand, the chipper was blamed.

Apparently though,what really happened was the mouse ran up her leg and her pussy ate it.

When I was 18 I worked in a McDonalds Drive Thru here in Dublin.
One guy, who was working the big mac station, drops the top part of a bun of the floor. Note, thats the dirty, sticky/greasy working kitchen floor. It's manky as you'd expect.

Thing is laying there for 10 seconds. But he then proceed to pick the bun up. Look at me. Starts laughing and plops it on the burger. Boxes it up and away it got sold. Dirty fecker. Only would have taken 30 seconds to toast up another bun.

coz clearly its possibly to eat a dead mouse that could be identified by x-ray without realising it...

Few years ago some kid got a sprite with an added surprise in it here in Dublin at the O'Connell St branch they accidently used a cup which a worker was using containing AJAX cleaning stuff in it. Kid had to be rushed to hospital

Not the first time someone had to rush to ajax after having a take-away.

You'll probably find, all in all, most big chain fast food joints are cleaner than your local restaurants due to well implemented controls and the perception by the environmental health that they'll be disgusting because they are run by 'untrained' staff (as opposed to qualified chefs.

Funniest story I have is when the McFlurry was launched, an EHO doing a visit mistook some dairy milk pieces that were on the floor of the stock room for rat droppings, she nearly fainted when the manager proved they weren't by picking a piece up and eating it, so the story goes...

I have never become ill after eating at McDonald's and I read an article recently that they have extremely high hygiene standards.

I'd be more concerned about the dirty Chinese takeaways in this country...they don't care at all about what type of meat/veg they use and their standards are pretty low.

This one time I ate a burger and the burger had a thing in it and then the thing grew inside me and it ate my head and it grew a new head and the new head started to talk for me and it took over my life and then nobody would believe that I was the old head and the new head won out and all I could do was post things about it online and nobody ever listens to stuff online anyway so it was like shouting into a tornado and the moral of the story is that if you ever read anything anyone has posted online you have to think are they a real person or are they a replacement head that grew after the real person ate a burger in a fast food place that had a thing in it and the thing ate the person's head and grew a new head in its place.

So, y'know, watch out.... and stuff.

But you were looking for a story.......

This one time I had lunch at a well-known pub (now closed) in Brittas....BLUE kinda place, wink wink...
I ordered sausage and chips and when I bit into the sausage there was a big long black hair in the middle.

So reading between the lines here..... you gave a guy a blowjob and were disgusted that he had pubic hair?

That says more about you and the unrealistic standards that pornography sets for men today than it does about the poor man that you fellated.

Omg I just realised how my story came across!!
I didn't mean that at all. I was referring to a pub with the colour blue in its' title, as wasn't sure I was allowed name it.

Amount of times I've been sick from McDonalds, or seen anything suggesting bad preparation or poor hygiene standards - 0
Amount of times I've been sick from bad chinese, or found hair or weird stuff in my chinese/oritental food - A surprising amount. Part of why I don't buy it take away no more.

They don't care what kind of meat and veg they use? What does this mean? And how does it relate to hygiene?

Hande hoche!

They had rat burgers in Demolition man, which is a great film.

Well one of the Chinese restaurants I used to frequent was shut down for serving seagull meat as chicken.

If they're at that sort of thing I can't imagine they'd care too much about hygiene standards either.

Sigh..

The meat from these dives is always disgusting; chewy, rubbery, a weird colour, and most of the time it looks nothing like it's supposed to.

They don't care about where their food comes from. No standards.
I also hate the fact that in most Chinese takeaways, there's just a little hatch where the order is given.

What are they hiding?
I'd hate to see what goes on their kitchens.

McDonalds-you can see everything going on in front of you; there's always a manager on duty overseeing the staff and telling them if there's something that needs to be done, i.e, swept or tidied.
The food's always hot and always cooked properly.

I hope you smacked that burger out of his hand, grabbed the back of his neck and shoved his face in it.

Exactly - my dad worked for McDonald's when he was a teenager on a J1, said you could have surgery in the place it's so clean. Years later he had a job as a sales rep for a meat company and that of all their customers McDonald's used to demand the highest standards.

Pretty much all the stuff you hear about
McDonald's is just Daily Mail sensationalist bullshît.

And then you get the people saying the food's disgusting and the meat is vile etc etc.

Granted, nobody should be eating burgers and chips all the time but I don't see how the meat can be described as "disgusting".

100% beef, 100% chicken breast..they do have high standards because they have to. Because they get slated so much.

I'd rather have a burger from McDonald's than a burger from my local takeaway. At least with McD's I know what I'm eating.

If people hated the place so much, it wouldn't be so popular still, would it?

I worked in a well known and popular burger franchise in Scotland when I was about 18. One of the lads had an explosive nose bleed whilst making a burger (i.e blood all over the burger). What did he do you ask? Yup, you guessed it - he wrapped it up and sold it to a customer.

cloud493

Before I moved to Dublin there was a chippy we used to like, but we never used to get the donor kebabs cos they always had a weird taste, even though they were dead cheap. Fast forward a few years, and said chippy has been closed down due to serving donkey and horse meat in kebabs and terrible hygiene standards :pac:

I heard of a Chinese takeaway that got shut down because they'd been serving dog meat in the burgers.

I used to think it was a joke but the amount of stories I've heard about this happening...makes you shudder.

You need to read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. It will open your eyes to what these companies are actually putting in their food. 100% beef doesn't mean 100% sirloin steak. As for the part in the book about chicken nuggets......euwwww :eek:

RandomName2

Fast food places like McDonalds tend to be pretty clean, at least in Ireland (donno what Chile is like in general). Think that Supermacs got a reward for hygiene. As much as I love em, the asian restaurant chains could in general do with higher standards! :eek:

...

Are a good proportion of the people in this thread high or something?

McDonalds use proper beef the beef you'd buy in tesco. And chicken breast, they don't use the pink paste like other places do

A little hatch? Any I frequent have the kitchen in full view, always clean as a new pin and you can watch as they prep your food.

Yep, but they advertise kids parties, they should provide a basket of unsalted chips.
They actively encourage families to eat there, and then they want to poison them with buckets of salt, think I'd rather take a chance with my seagull curry

Sunnyisland

(Reuters) - World's biggest fast-food chain seeks new ketchup for its famous french fries.

McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) on Friday said it plans to end its 40-year relationship with ketchup maker H.J. Heinz Co, since that company is now led by Bernardo Hees, the former chief executive of hamburger rival Burger King Worldwide Inc (BKW.N).

"As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided to transition our business to other suppliers over time," McDonald's said in a statement.

"We have spoken to Heinz and plan to work together to ensure a smooth and orderly transition," said McDonald's, which has more than 34,000 restaurants around the globe.

If you go to a proper Chinese, then yes the stuff you get is rubbery because it's different parts of the animal they use, when we only ever use chicken breast for example. Whatever you do, don't go to China, if you're afraid of 'weird meat and veg'.

Snake

Maybe it's chickens arsehole and cow head but **** it tastes grand.

Chicken served in Chinese takeaways/restaurants is not chicken. It is pork belly. No way could a restaurant afford to sell an adult sized portion of, for example, chicken curry for €4. Proper chicken breast is expensive & if takeaways & restaurants can cut corners & save money wherever they can then they will. Cut in to a bit of "chicken" the next time you get a Chinese takeaway. The meat will be a very funny shade of white, almost translucent. How I know this about the pork belly? The crowd I worked for for years supplied 90% of the takeaways in town!

Hygiene wise, I cannot ever understand people eating in these types of places. The kitchens are filthy, the floors are filthy, I have seen Chinese restaurants that have no proper dishwasher - just a big sink with a hot tap (seriously). One look at the staff should be enough to turn people off Chinese food for life.

One particularly bad incident I personally saw was when we got a call off one of our customers we supplied who's van broke down & they couldn't get in to pick up the meat. I drove to the restaurant & met the owner who opened up the delivery gate at the side of the restaurant. It never occurred to me that this was a small restaurant & how they must have had trouble storing all their ingredients. Well I knew how they did it when I pulled into the yard. There were boxes & boxes of fruit & veg that were uncovered stacked high & right next to an open industrial sized bin. The ground was filthy, the walls in the yard were filthy & the 2 Chinese lads sitting next to the veg smoking, were also filthy. I gave them their pork belly, gave them the docket & on my way home I binned whatever the guy smoking had ran into the kitchen...with his fag in his hand...to get for me. I actually went home & took a shower I felt so disgusted.

One bad Chinese and they're all bad? That sounds a bit racist to me. The majority are lovely people who take pride in their restaraunt and wouldn't have it any other way. As for the pork belly again not every restaraunt does that. The majority of them I've been to charge 7-15 euro for chicken curry & rice.
