American (Fast)food & drinks

Chic-Fil-A actually has very good lemonade, both diet and regular. The grilled chicken sandwich is also good.

Arby's Jamocha shakes are delicious.

I know people really rag on Subway, but they are always very generous with their vegetables for any sandwich or salad I order. Which is nice.

Luckily for my waistline, Krystal has discontinued their lemon meringue pie.

Hardee's has really good sausage biscuits (this will make no sense to the Brits here).

KFC fries a tasty chicken.

McDonald's used to have good fries, but lately all they have going for them is price. Which is sad.

Taco Bell is viewed by my alcoholic friends as 'drunk food'. It's open late and it's cheap. The Five Guys near us is very good and has excellent french fries (as long as you aren't allergic to peanuts). Dunkin Donuts makes their donuts from frozen. Tim Horton's is three times better. Opinions are divided on Krispy Kreme. People either seem to really love them (I am one such) or really do not.

My fav burgers re Whoppers. I agree with mousestalker about the jamocha shkes at arbys very good.

I eat at subway alot, partly do to the locations but also it is nice to load up on the veggies that you like.

Damn, I was hoping to inb4 Seb's inconcievable Taco Bell fetish. Sadly I was too late. Hopefully it's not too late for you. Stay away from that stuff. You'd be better off eating xenomorph dongs.

Otherwise,

I am sincerely jealous of you West Coasters for having In-N-Out Burger. I don't how, I don't know why, but the one I had in Vegas is the best fast food burger I've ever had. What do you lace it with? And why do you not come east (and North, to Canada)? Tell me!!

Otherwise, Whoppers are my choice, based on what I can actually get locally. It's a solid burger, as far as fast food goes. Has a proper patty that actually seems grilled as opposed to heat lamp'd. Some say Harvey's has that too, but fuck Harvey's. Overpriced nonsense.

Also KFC > Popeye's.

Wendy's has good bacon on their burgers.

That is all.

I'm a huge fan of BK. My hometown never had one, until one year after I left. The region where I live now... well, it's mixed. They closed the best BK two years ago because they had issues with the franchiser. The building is still empty btw

Much easier to get to McDonald's but... ugh, just not mine.

The next KFC is a 40 minutes drive away and I love to go there.

Also I heard that Five Guys opens up in Germany. I am pretty sure - as I live in a rural-ish area with smaller towns around - it will take years until I will get my first Five Guys burger, but I'm looking forward to it

So yeah, American Fastfood!

We'll see what you'll do when this board gets officially sponsored by Taco Bell and has advertisements all over.

I'm no Brit, but sausage biscuits? I like sausages, and cookies, but they seem like two completely different things...


Peanuts in French fries?

Well, pouring gravy on fries is not (yet) a custom in the Netherlands. We just dip them in a mayonaise derivate (which is apparently hilarious according to Pulp Fiction). We also dip them in other sauces as people please, like ketchup, and PEANUT SAUCE, etc...

EDIT: On the other hand there's this gross stuff called "Kapsalon" (barber shop), which has seen a recent surge in popularity around here. It might suit the taste of Canadians with their poutine, all greasy fries and all:




I agree that McDonald's fries are better than KFC's (or Burger King's by the way). They're far from being the best fries ever, since they're not made out of fresh potatoes and stuff, but for a fastfood restaurant I can forgive them. 

McDonald's in the Netherlands serve something called 'Boerenfriet'. Which are thicker than their regular French fries and still have potato peel, I like them personally:




I must say, I need to try this soon enough. Looks interesting!


Thanks for the warning

I cannot get enough of their cheese+bacon double whoppers

Those look delicious.

Translating from Britspeak to USspeak, what they call biscuits, we call cookies. Regionally, here in the Southern US, biscuits are what the Brits would call rolls. But they are rolls made with leaveners, rather than yeast, and are very short. They are typically seen as being savoury rather than sweet.

Five Guys fry their potatoes in peanut oil. They also serve peanuts as a give away freebie to nibble on while you wait for your food.

In Dutch: biscuits (biscuitjes) are a specific form of cookies (koekjes), as in the sweet kind we eat with our coffee/tea. According to Wikipedia, your 'biscuits' are more similar to British 'scones'. I know of them, but we don't actually have a local variant to those here.

Every half year or so I get that craving where I NEED TO EAT FAST FOOD, and yeah, BK's whopper is my favourite. Then again, we don't have any fast food burgers around here besides BK & McD, so I can't really comment on the quality of anything else. I keep hearing good tjings about In n Out, so I would really like to try them!

I HATE Subway, not for the toppings, but for the terrible rubbery stuff they sell as bread.

Also as a coffee lover, you can't call what they serve at Starbucks 'coffee' (sugar milk with coffee flavour, maybe ).

On the other hand, I could stuff my face with Dunkin Donuts every day (I could. But I don't.).

In general I prefer fresh food, and even though I often don't feel like cooking myself after a long day of work, I would never resort to fast food. A plate of veggies + self made dip is usually my standard fare in the evenings. Or a bowl of cereal if I'm REALLY lazy!

This thread also reminded me of
