Most disgusting fast food/restaurant experiences

We were in a restaurant in Burma and my wife asks if I could see a toilet anywhere. I looked around and then told her no and as we weren't far from our hostel she wasn't pushed. Just as well as under every table there was a bucket which I hadn't noticed at first. When I was looking around I saw a guy reach down with one hand to take a piss into the bucket and with the other hand he continued eating. I waited until she'd digested her meal before I told her about the buckets.

Went to use the toilet in a restaurant in Clonmel many moons ago after scoffing down a burger and chips but what I found in the toilet made me vomit, Some dick head had left a sh*t in the sink. Gross

That's all the rage in the finer establishments nowadays.
Poo Poo in the sink.
Best if left fresh by a celebrity chef.

Burger King/McD's on O'Connell St..the smell alone would put you off your food

That looks tasty. Whats in it.

You know what, I eat Abrakebabra sometimes....

It's the only feckin place open late at night for a bit of grub if you live in a small town.

I feel so dirty.

Really? I disagree. Any time I'm in any of the McD's/BKs in town, they're just fine. There's always security at the bottom of the stairs, and the bathrooms are pretty clean enough.

ALSO, my friend worked in McD's in Blackrock a couple years ago in transition year and she said the hygeine was amazing in there (I was surprised by this, but hey).

What do those things actually taste like? I remember hearing about them a lot about two years ago, although I've never tried one.

An indian in town (not dublin) did those. Chicken and Vegetable pakoras, kebab meat (meh), onion bhaji, chips and a couple of dips, for 6 euro. I fecking loved them.

naughtysmurf · 20-07-2011 11:53PM

Worked in Bristol years ago, one of the delicacies in local chippies there are "******s" (I kid you not, they are a kind of meatball) normally served with mushy peas & chips

I was only a young lad at the time, it took me a couple of months to work up the courage to ask for "two large ******s, peas & chips please"

Well, it's my worst experience!!

Dont know why all the ***** but kind of rhymes with baggots, no offence intended

You could also get small ******s

PinkFly · 20-07-2011 11:54PM

was in Abrakebabra one day years ago for lunch.... the lady workin there was standing behind the counter wiping it down with a cloth..... She sneezed and in doing so brought the cloth up to her face like a tissue.... took it away had a quick look at it and continued wiping...

I was referring more to the weird lights down there that try to prevent druggies coming in...I find that as night progresses (esp at weekends) the toilets can be pretty nasty sometimes

Oh just noticed you're fom Limerick, sorry! Ones in Dublin don't have the UV lights! Whether that's a good idea or not, I don't know lol.

I was referring to Dublin

but having said that it was a while back and it has prob changed since I graced Mc D's with my presence! lol

Also I just remembered I was in a chippy in Cavan or Fermanagh or somewhere and the lady that served me was wearing a polo shirt and lets just say her armpits hadn't seen a razor in about 5 years. Each to their own and all that but I would think it would be a bit sweaty considering you are working in a hot environment..yuck

you mean the one where the owner never wore a hairnet in the kitchen area, and at the weekends let his kids run loose back there too?

PinkFly · 21-07-2011 12:15AM

Does anyone remember Burgerland on Washington Street in Cork?

I think I owe my spectacular immune sytem to that place, cos if I didn't catch anything from the food there, I never will.

*shudder*

The very worst was an eggshell in the wonton soup followed by a thick black hair in the roast chicken chinese style. I did puke but I did not complain.

Oh Christ yes. An hour after eating in there and a gallon of Irish stew came out down through me faster than Pat Kenny making love to his wife. I think it was the curried scutter on chips. Or maybe the pubes and cardboard burger.

Back in my college days in Sligo, I went for a late night bite to a well known establishment. I used to hate onions and all the greenery that's slapped on burgers so always asked for a plain burger which means they have to cook it fresh.

This particular night I was tucking into my plain chicken burger with a few friends and got annoyed as the chipper put mayonnaise on my burger. It also tasted sour and out of date.... typical.

After much cursing and after inspection, a fellow student stopped me going to the counter to give out and said that isn't mayo. Long story short (and with nerd college scientists involved), the chicken breast had an abcess on it and god only know what the funky gooey white stuff was (I asked not to be told).

I've had them twice, and they're really nice, not too different from a regular mars bar, but they're a lot sweeter, and there's just something else indefinable about them. They look absolutely horrible though.

Got a beetle in a chinese one night, hubby brought it back and the chinese wanted to replace the dish rather than give the money back.

I worked in a burger/kebab place while in college, the doner meat gets taken off at night and what is left is reused the next day. Burgers and chicken breasts were cooked in advance and just reheated, could be hours later. I remember once the staff wash hand basin was broken in the staff toilet and you would see people leaving the toilet going straight into the food preparation or cooking area. I really eat fast food-working in a place put me off.

During bad snow a few years back, the hubby who was on a week of night shift had to stay with his parents in Dublin as our house at the time was in the country and the roads were very bad at night. We meet in town one Saturday just to meet up and went for a bite to eat, he had a sambo and diet coke and I just had a diet coke. When I got home, I felt an really rumbling sensation and had to race to the loo and I exploded in seconds- no warning, thankfully was at home. Hubby on the other hand had just gone to work and the same thing happened only he never made it to the loo. He had to walk like John wayne to the nearest clothes shop ( not too far away) and walk in soiled clothes to buy new pants, shoes, socks and trousers. He had dark trousers on, so it hid stains but not the smell. When he went back to work, the acid had burned his arse and legs and he was in a heap for a week afterwards. Even a diet coke from the wrong store can cause havoc.
