Definitely Burger King. About 1 out of 5 times I eat McDonalds I get a case of the screaming s*h*I*t*s. Therefore I tend to avoid the golden arches.

I used to be a big BK fan, until I found out that they don't use gloves when they prepare the food :P. I'm not that big a fast food fan any more, except for Jack's Ultimate Cheeseburger (suppresses Homer Simpson-esque drool).

Sorry, but McDonald's Chocolate Shake pales in comparison to a Frosty. Wendy's is better than both.
OhWell,
Have you had the pleasure of eating at White Castle?;(
MangoBreeder posted 09-20-99 10:01 AM ET

White Castles. a.k.a. Rectum Rockets.

Burger King. I've never been to one, but I know because nothing's worse than McDonald's. I once had a Fishwich, I think at McDonald's. It was too hot, so I left it for a minute (literally, one minute...well, maybe three, but still...). When I picked it up again it was cold and disgusting. I'm willing to put up with people who like McDonald's, but I hate it. {IRONY}The only thing good about McDonald's is that they've served over a billion people, and are making leaps and bounds in the fight against world hunger{/IRONY}.
Sorry about the geek joke, but there you go.

Other nicknames for White Castles.
Greasy Burgers; Sliders; Anal Cleansers; King Crappers; Bowel Clenchers; Ploopies; Chunk-O-Meat-Like Stuff.
Koshko posted 09-21-99 12:00 AM ET
One thing Wendys has over McD and BK is that they come out with specialty burgers on a fairly regular basis. Many of them seem to have Bacon. When was the last time McDonald's came out with a new burger?
MangoBreeder posted 09-21-99 10:30 AM ET
Well... the last new burger MC came out with was the McKorma burger, i tried one personally i would rather eat my own vomit, but BK started the WILD WILD WEST burger, i think they called it the rodeo burger or something, it had onion rings and bacon in it god it was tasty.
Q: Why do burgers always look so juicy and tasty on the poster and always end up looking far worse? is that a breach of the trade descriptions act or somthing?

I think that they spend hours on end getting the burgers for the TV and radio commercials and posters right, but they have to make them so fast in the restaurant (they have to "serve" it before they cool down from the microwave, after all) they must be somewhat messy. And all of the people in the automation line in the back of the store would get bored rather quickly and that makes for messy burgers!

They are made specially for the commercial. In many cases they aren't even what you think they are. Here's a couple of examples of their tricks. When you see a bright ripe red strawberry, it is actually an unripened strawberry painted with a specific color lipstick. It looks better that way. When you see a bowl of ice cream, that is often specially colored mashed potatoes. Regular ice cream would quickly melt in the warm room. Mashed potatoes won't. That burger could actually be a combo of many different unexpected things.
sir_penguin posted 09-22-99 07:31 PM ET
Mmmmm...
Why don't they sell those? I might go there more often.

Personally, I like BK better, McD tastes like ****
Though a friend of mine said he heard from someone on the "inside" that BK placed large amounts of plastic in their burgers, just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me...

I used to manage at a BK and never heard anything about plastic burgers, but the things I've seen... you don't want to know!
Just admitted to working at a fast food joint and wonders if that can get him banned,

BK wins out in every category over McD french fries.
Wendy's beats both in overall palatability. Mmm. Bacon.
Urgh. White Castle is awful. I seem to remember they actually have a burger called a "slider" on the menu, its not just a slang term.
Burgers on TV aren't made by 15 year olds who could care less what something they aren't going to eat looks like.
Wyarian Pryde posted 09-23-99 07:05 PM ET
Am I the only one whos never heard of White Castle?
sir_penguin posted 09-23-99 07:15 PM ET
Nope, and from what has been said, I don't think you or I would want to hear about it any more.

Koshko posted 09-23-99 11:52 PM ET
White Castles actually is a descent place. The food does taste good. You just need to take some Pepto afterwards.
Koshko posted 09-23-99 11:56 PM ET
Once someone found a condom in a McDonald's burger. That's pretty amazing considering the unlikelyhood of a McDonald's employee getting laid.
Spoe posted 09-24-99 04:22 PM ET
White Castles are usually open 24 hours -- why, you ask? Because the only time sliders taste ok is after several gallons of beer and when nothing else is open.
BK beats out McD's in all categories but french fries -- BK's are just too crunchy -- I like fresh McD's fires that are crispy but not crunchy.

Anyone else like BK onion rings?

BK onion rings are good, but not the best

The Geoge V pub (opposite LSE - for those londoners) does good onion rings
Beta-1
has just got back from there
JohnIII posted 09-25-99 04:22 AM ET
Well I just got back from a local Italian restaurant and they do great onion rings (in case you're wondering, I had steak and chips).
But I don't like BK, primarily because I feel sick everytime I go in there.

So I gather that everybody here is sensible. I think that what we get from this is that Burger King beats McDonalds into the dust, where it's burgers might get a good audience among the fleas and mites.

MangoBreeder posted 09-27-99 04:18 AM ET
I've been to George V when my brother went to the LSE Never had any food Guinness wasn't too bad though.
Do you get Guinness over there in the states? i mean proper draught Guinness not the canned crap. I got a good story about Guinness dirnking but you have to ask nicley if you want to hear it

You can get Guinness about half of the places I've been in the US, but there's an "Irish" pub here in Dublin, Ohio that serves Murphy's , which I like better.
...and McDonalds still sucks.

Noooooo murphys no way as good as Caferys
has this forum digressed a bit?
Here is the story at one of the off campus bars at essex. There is a giveaway going on i.e. the more Pints of Guinness you drink the more tokens you get which can be traded in for a vatriey of goods.
The item which caught my particullar interest was a Guinnes Rubgy Jersey but at the cost of 52 tokens + 3 for P&P i knew it was well with my grasp. As i admired the poster and leafletts the landlady informed me that the compo ends in 2 weeks time. ( i have to allow a week to send the thing off so in reality i only have 1 week.)
I tought **** how will i ever get 55 pints, so i started on my fist pint. in the course of the next week, i consumed soooo much Guinness that my turds turned black with white heads. but i enventully reached my target and send off my leaflett with 55 tokens
the next 2 weeks were nailbiting as i waited for my jersey. finally one cold friday morning it arrived and i put it on immediatly, and let for my first lecture of the day, thinking i was the dogs bolloxs i strutted around thinking i was king untill that is:
One of my mated walked in with the guinnes FLEECE i felt like killing him, you needed 75 pints to get that little bueaty.
So i no longer wear the jersey as it tastes bitter in my mouth
But i have this thought to console me:
i still have the feeling that i earnt it.
