What happened to Burger King?

I'm rather partial to a bacon and cheese bagel in the mornings sometimes.

When I say "sometimes" I mean "often".

Sometimes I get two but ask for separate bags so I can pretend I have a friend. I get the "meal" as well; it comes with a hash brown and orange juice. This is so I can demonstrate how healthy I am.

Their business model is to sell the cheapest lowest quality product they can get away with at the highest profit margin.

Very nasty food which is bad for your health.

Can't remember the last time I had a BK. This threads making me hungry for cheap nasty burgers now.

If I have anything it is KFC and then only real pieces of chicken not the mashed up things.

But really what you are getting is no more or less processed and is probably as laden with fat and sugar as about 90% of the stuff in an average supermarket. Lots of people do just live on that sort of diet. I know a few people who quite happily state that they do not eat fruit or veg. Fast food outlets do not include salad because almost no one going there wants it.

I'm quite partial to a Black Russian Whopper ....

I always used to find burger king a better quality than McDonald's, but the service station ones are a disaster.
Kfc is my fast food of choice but as I'm slowly being outnumbered by vegetarians we don't go anymore :-(
For value and consistency over excellence we choose weatherspoons when we're eating out as a family.

Consistently short date beer and processed food from the likes of Brakes or 3663.

I guess I'm spoiled by the number of independent cafés making good food from scratch around here like Norburys or Filling Station in Lynn or Knicat or Clock in Downham or the Old Lifeboat or the Cliffs in Hunstanton...

Only ever had a BK once in my life..hated it, never bothered since. Didnt like the burger, the bun, the chips...any of it.
Only had a handfull of KFCs, they do nothing for me, oily and not much in them.
I dont mind a McDs once in a while...it is what it is, mildly enjoyable while youre eatiig it, but soon gone. (Dont ever eat burgers, its always a chicken something. )
Subways, dont mind them, probably eat more subway than McDs...but not a lot of either.

Consistently short date beer ..

Not that old wife's tale.

Wetherspoons buy the same beer from the same suppliers as everyone else. They just buy a hell of a lot so they get really good prices. And they adopt a low margin, high volume pricing model

Unless you can provide evidence to the contrary of course

I am not a particularly fussy eater, but I cannot abide that f'ing shoot with sugar in they flog at these places.

My 5 year-old likes mcd because he gets a balloon, there's a play area, and the food is ten per cent sugar. Wtf are adults w/o kids doing there?

 

[Mrs M]

Not eaten one since my colleague told me a story, apologies in advance.
They ordered a chicken burger (not sure if BK, McD or other. Bit into it thinking funny tasting mayonnaise, it was actually a cyst in the chicken exploding.
Sorry .

I go to McDonalds for what has become known as a "McPish", because of the closure of traditional public toilets. Couldn't tell you the last time I actually ate anything in a UK McD's.

I'm not sure if you are serious or not, but it's never happened. It's an urban myth.

There's a much earlier one about KFC which (while knowing it is not true) put me off it for life.
