Food thread

Think how healthy that was since it would have had no calories.Sadly far too many of the large food chains seem to have the same sort of "food" these days

Yep Shit food, but a i still enjoy a Big Mac, whopper or zinger on rear occasions.

We have Maccas very rarely, maybe only a couple of times per year.
I can’t believe how expensive it’s getting!

If i go to Maccas or Hungry Jacks i usually only have something from the breakfast menu hoping they can't get it wrong.The last time would have been in June when i had to drive to QLD

How was it ?

Yeah I think I was in my early teens when I first tried Chinese. Our options have improved significantly, it’s amazing how food can give you flashbacks to your past.

Never is, now days I enjoy the experience and company more than the food.

give me a charcoal fire and (insert fav protein) with good friends and I am as happy as!

When i went to the UK in the early 70's i was introduced to the joys of Indian and Carribean foods and have been a fan of curries/chilli ever since to the extent that i would now say that a curry would be my first choice of a meal

Is it still there? I thought a lot of those places were gone. Ryde has a great diversity of cuisine. Persian and Farsi food. This is going back but I first had kfc in top Ryde.

Have no idea but it would a sacred site for this white fella.
I remember going with my then young teen girlfriend and her folks. I was terrified after growing up in a lamb chop and three veg, and Sunday roast environment.
But took to it straight away. Thanks S, wherever you are today( thanks for everything you introduced me too …..).

What the heck is that? Sounds way too close to Franger, can just imagine what people call the joint.

Frangos is a Portuguese chicken restaurant.

Frango is the Portuguese word for chicken.

The mid 60's was a strange time in many ways but it had exceptional music

We were simple people in those days and life moved a lot slower but it certainly picked up in the 70s !

Golden Fleece roadhouses - Australian food history timeline

In the 1960s, before the advent of American fast food chains, Golden Fleece roadhouses were the go-to food stops for travellers.

The Golden Fleece was the best! A real treat! We always stopped at the one at Collector on the way to visit my god-daughter in Canberra

Do you remember Maccas McFeast with the old red sauce. They were huge compared to today, my fav fast food burger.
I got a bacon deluxe from hungry jacks yesterday and it was the size of a fifty cent piece. Meat was like processed meat and sawdust or cardboard.

Now you're talkin my language mate, the original McFeast sauce was better than crack. It still comes up in conversation with various mates about how good the old McFeast burger was and only due to the sauce. I feel like its been 20 years since the McFeast was a thing. They probably found out the secret ingredient and had to shelf it like the old Kentucky Fried Buns.

I was looking after the grand kids last week and like an idiot took them to KFC for a treat, left with a second mortgage on the house. Stunned at what they were getting for $20 a pop. Couple bits of 3rd rate chicken and soggy chips. Mortified. Old Winston learnt his lesson.
