Hahaha. I saw that one of the Brritish boys trying out biscuits and gravy. Hard to argue with them. It does look disgusting and it's also really good.

Agree with your other points too. They were all pretty much snobbish to me except the ones about portions and the sugar. It's the corn syrup, it makes things sweeter than table sugar.

You can really tell the difference it makes by trying a Coke next to a kosher Coke. Kosher Coke is made with sucrose instead of corn syrup. Otherwise, I think everything else is the same. It's quite noticeable.

Urchling and I try to avoid corn syrup as much as possible but it's hard. I think it's why diabetes has skyrocketed.

Also, all this whinging about portion size is kinda bizarre to me. Once you buy the food, it's yours, you own it. If you own it, you can do whatever you want with it. Who's preventing these folks from setting some aside for later? Be glad you got 2 or 3 meals for the price of one.

I love your point about salads too. Hell, we have fast food salad places and also buffets are a great place for salads. I can't name a single major restaurant anywhere I've ever lived that doesn't offer a dinner salad with an entree. Not one.
