Even France, which for a long time (or so I read) resisted the tide of fast food, is starting to give in to it. Cheap, efficient, homogeneous, unhealthy cuisine is coming to dominate many countries, resulting in lots of obesity and stuff. From the article:
Thoughts on this trend? Do you make a point of having leisurely and home-cooked meals? Or have you too given in to the tide of McDonald's? |
Mc Donalds in the US =/= Mc Donalds in France.
Our biggest size for drinks, fries, is the smallest in the US.
And now they are trying to be a bit classier (new logo in Europe:  , new restaurants with more bio food, etc.) |

by changing the background color from red to green? :conf:
what i hate about mcdonald's is the lack of selection. it's all a bunch of variations of the same cheeseburgers or chicken sandwich (though i suppose the same could be said for almost every fast food joint). and they don't serve just a typical bacon cheeseburger. wtf. |

nate, when you finally get to eat Mickey D's in Korea you will see that it is so much more awesome than here.
bulgogi burger and big tasty with a black bean ice tea (think ice cappuccino) ftw. |

It's an European (marketing) policy to show that they are green, and usually, green means more expensive...
If you add the fact they are revamping their restaurants you can see an obvious upselling strategy. |

it kinda is, it's a falafel pita wrap.
deep fried chickpea balls, pretty much. they're tasty, but not something i'm REALLY fond of. |
Looks like kibe... can I choose the filling? I think it'd be tasty with cheese. |

Falafel is amazing!
My girlfriend and I both love to cook so most of our meals take 1 hour + and taste delicious! |

when i am at work i typically take a short lunch and then browse the record store or something before getting back to my workstation. so probably something like 15-30 min.
when i cook dinner it is usually an epic process that takes anywhere from 1.5-3 hours depending how many courses there are, the prep work involved, and how i eat them (if i cook everything first or if i cook then eat, then cook, then eat again) i generally don't cook unless it's going to be an epic meal with leftovers i can use for a few days
i rarely eat fast food (except on lunch, and usually ill just get like a falafel or a slice of pizza). when i go out to eat it usually takes 1-2 hours depending on the conversation/company and the size of the meal. |
What the hell are you making man? :wtf:
I can make quite healthy and filling meals in 30 minutes, or a bit over an hour if baking is involved.
Speaking of McDonalds, do you guys have McCafe and Healthy Choices in your local Maccers? They have them here and they are surprisingly quite good. Still fast food but far better than the usual junk. |
