I've been in MacDonalds all over Europe and beyond - mostly Argie
beef, always superb chips, almost always tasty wenches.

doh

you are trolling the wrong group,
Macdonalds buys beef in UK from Kepak, hind quarters go to Tesco,
forequarters to Macdonalds. Actually they couldn't afford Argentinian for
burgers, argentina supplies the top end of the catering market
Please try to keep up

Milk products don't bother me,
Wind is normally the result of beans, milk is animal protein, and allows
vegetarians to survive but feel smug at the same time

*AFAIK not the Strawberry flavour

why?

Start with the destruction of ancient hedgerows?

Who put the hedgerows in - in the first place?
Who maintained them over all these years?

You're as bad as Jim. Why get all defensive. Your ancestors and mine put
them in and maintained them over centuries. Our government over the past
50
years subsidised their removal. We should all be ashamed at the latter
action.

why?
We put them in, we took them out, if it is economically viable, or we need
them, we'll put them in again

You have no idea of my experience of meat. You are simply parroting
prejudiced piffle.

no, you underestimate how unique you are. It is so rare to find anyone who
appreciates good beef and likes big macs

I would like to add:

I used to like Marmite (I expect I still do) but it now makes me sneeze
violently - something to do with certain yeastforms or something which
attaches to yeast as shortly afterwards I was at home on my own and
opened a bottle of Levens Hall Special Brew.

Halfway through I developed a slight cough, then breathing problems as
the mucosa enlarged; then my diaphragm seemed to lock solid and I was
sitting on the stairs by the phone wondering whether to put through a
treble 9 when I remembered I had 2 or 3 Triludan (taken off the market)
and took one - symptoms subsided. A fortnight later I was halfway down a
pint of draught Guinness in the local (voting night for devolution) and
I felt the symptoms starting so informed Jones that we had to go home
*immediately*.

I was talking to one of the community nurses afterwards and he said that
I was very fortunate as I had been heading for anaphylactic shock,
potentially fatal. This was drastic - I couldn't contemplate being
allergic to draught Guinness!!

Subsequent occurences have been:- another Guinness, a rather special
amontillado sherry, Aussie white wine and bottled Cobra; incidence erratic
but approx once in 14 - 15 months.

The Cobra incident was in our local Indian restaurant and I'd finished
the triludan so there was no point demanding to go home. The owner of
the establishment produced a large brandy which was fortunately effective.

I've never had an incident after red wine, Newcastle Brown, Beamish or
Caffereys and I don't drink bitter; if incidents were more frequent I'd
ask for allergy tests but I don't think there's enough evidence in the
present circumstances.

That's possibly true. I was all sorts of things. But I can't confirm
until I have a definition ...

It is all in the eye of the beholder but does "younger than me" give you
any sort of clue.

No. Unless you reveal your dob.

I've certainly never served anything in McD's.

That I can believe. Don't think many tasty wenches do.
