Who can eat honey on crumpets in bed without ending up stuck to the sheets. That was my fate this morning. :(

Big Mac...
All processed meat patty, cheap arse cheese, lettuce, pickle...wooooo a pickle on a sesame seed bun.
Does anyone actually eat this crap?

Has anyone had Maccas lately?
Back in the day the McFeast was a huge BLT with awesome sauce.
Now its replacement is the classic angus. It's half the size, double the price and is mainly a cardboard meat pattie and a gerkin.
But people still eat the crap.
For a couple of dollars extra you can go to Grill'd Healthy burgers and get all the bells and whistles.
Surely maccas days are numbered?

Kids won’t realise it, back in the day, you simply couldn’t finish a Big Mac meal.

And the chocolate thick shakes, it took you half a day to suck it up through a straw.

But at this place in St Leonard’s, old Greek mate run the best burger shop. $1 burgers, but it could feed a whole family.

Agree mate.
My favourite was the original McFeast, a true BLT.
It was about the size of a small helicopter landing pad.
The filet~o~fish was about the size of the present day Grand Angus, now, if you can get them, resemble a box of matches.
Everything was truly upside back then hey.
I like the original red sauce too.
Does anyone like the orangy yellow regular cheese on maccas burgers?
I call it spew smelling cheese.
I get them to replace the regular cheese with Aussie Jacks Cheese which is like Coon tasty cheese....a lot betterer.

The humble potato scallop at the local, you’d get a huge thick slice of potatoe cooked to golden brown perfection. Not collapsing or undercooked. The batter was always a secret recipe, deep fried to the microsecond. Even the shake of the basket, not a drop of oil split.

Served in that grease paper, a shake of salt and if feeling exotic, a splash of vinegar. Cocooned by reams of fresh butchers paper, keeping it fresh and tasty for hours, but letting it breathe.

And $1 would buy you about 10 scallops easily.

Oh yeh, absolutely heaven. Making a good batter takes time and they double cook them to get that fluffy crunchy batter. Apparently, adding vodka makes great batter and if it turns out stuffed you can always just get pissed :)

@bluebags told me that when he was doing his Take Away apprenticeship, he had to sit for double cook frying exam twice.
