No desire for fast food. Complete social outcast?

Davarus Walrus · 06-09-2014 12:42AM #1

I was in the pub this evening having a few after work. Managed to get in my 2500 calories. Feeling slightly worse for wear - we headed down towards the local chipper. Big talk about battered sausages, onion rings, garlic and cheese chips; spice burgers, and chip baguettes. A rather large friend of mine boasted that he was going to eat an entire fried chicken drowned in curry sauce.

As we entered the chipper I told the lads that I didn't feel like eating fast food. You'd think that I had taken each of them aside individually and told them that I'd seduced their Mother - before ignoring her calls. Getting right thick.

Does anyone else not get a major goo on them for fast food after a night on the beer? Prefer a pint of water and a hearty breakfast in the morning? And if you don't, what does eating chips out of a metal tray do for you?

Ok, fine.

Then what?

errlloyd · 06-09-2014 12:47AM

Not gonna lie, I often go on the beer just because I know how much I am gonna enjoy the fast food at the end of the night.

Sir Arthur Daley · 06-09-2014 12:48AM

I like fast food and fast women.

The One Doctor · 06-09-2014 12:50AM

I don't really like eating when drunk, nothing tastes right.

You mean you like your food how you like your women. Fast!

Meh. I enjoyed a few beers tonight.

That is what I'm trying to understand. You'd wander down Wexford Street on a Saturday night and see lots of men with kebab sauce wandering down their face and onto their shirts'. After filling your belly with beer I don't see why you'd want to devour a kebab. Doesn't it make you feel worse? Should the recovery eating not take place the next day after deciding how bad the hangover is?

**** you, OP.

Now I want fast food

When you're not engaging in fast food, they are subconsciously questioning their own additive/unhealthy habits which in turn is putting them on the defensive. I wouldn't worry about it too much, however annoying it might be.

Yeah. He wasn't meeting them after he ran the iron man.

When you're not engaging in fast food and exercising a bit of responsibility, they are subconsciously questioning their own addictive/unhealthy habits which in turn is putting them on the defensive.

dude you're over thinking it...

Yeh but....did you seduce their mothers?

Frank Lee Midere · 06-09-2014 01:01AM

Odd that the OP counted his beer calories. Sounds like 10 beers? Or was the 2500 calories the entire day.

I generally don't go on sessions anymore ( although saying that I will tomorrow) but food after beer is because you tend to loose self control and it does taste good. Specially the spicy stuff. I have no idea if I really like kebabs but I do when drunk.

foggy_lad · 06-09-2014 01:01AM

Large taco cheese chips and a quarter pounder with cheese pleasee with a spice burger doner kebab and batter burger and bottle of club orange.

Hard to ride after fast food.

So order your food and tell the clerk, no hurry

DEFTLEFTHAND · 06-09-2014 01:03AM

Some lads lose the run of themselves with a few drinks on board, I find it repulsive the way they gorge on these big fat greasy meals, it either puts them to sleep or initiates a vomiting episode. I prefer to head back to a house for a nightcap and listen to a few tunes before bed.

Supergurrier · 06-09-2014 01:04AM

Soakage after the fact.

clappyhappy · 06-09-2014 01:04AM

I love my cider and I adore single malt whiskey, but I have no interest in eating fast food. An apple when I come home is good enough for me!!

Would you prefer if you did ?
Nope, neither do I, so we're just very lucky. Count your blessings.

I've heard that the 'gossip from the servants down the cellar' are appalling while a gent is trying to maintain his stroke.

I like fast food without alcohol... Am I a social outcast too?

My bad he didn't, he had his calorie intake as part of a controlled diet.

I sat one morning in Zaytoon in Temple bar watching one of me mates and me girlfriend eating what could only be described as a ''Thick soggy purple wrap''

I was fairly drunk at that stage but not that ****ing drunk!.

On yeah. Zaytoons. And abrakebabra. Can't say if either is any good because only ever eaten there drunk.

Basically after beers you probably aren't hankering for a salad.

Karl Stein · 06-09-2014 01:25AM

You made this all up. You were at home all night with your collection of mannequins.

I have distant memories of enjoying a kebab in Zaytoon how i dont fecking know!

Pure muck. Ive actually got to stage where i prefer making a nice sambo when i get home fecking cheaper as well. Thats if i get that far though!! last week i ended up asleep in the hall........

errlloyd · 06-09-2014 01:26AM

Having done the minimum amount of reading, I think it's to do with salt.

Going on the beer in particular causes lots of urination which means you run low on salt. Salt already tastes delicious, but it tastes even more delicious when you're madly craving it.

I think I'm broken. There's nothing I love more than eating terrible food (mostly Chinese) but when I'm drunk, I have no interest in it at all. The more drunk I am, the less likely I am to have anything. So, usually I just sit in supermacs, barely able to keep my head up, hiccuping, while everyone else mows into their burgers and chips.

Same when I'm hungover, no interest in eating and it's the one day of the week terrible food is justified. I used to live with 5 boys, who'd all be hungover on a Sunday and their day would go something like
Sausages and eggs for breakfast.
Die on the couch with coke Pringles and almond magnums
Dinner which was usually a pizza or food from supermacs
Maybe a takeaway that night.

I'd be lucky if I was back eating the next day
