Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I for one am astonished to discover that the WHO's early praise for China's efforts on covid-19 was empty smoke-blowing.

China's government is a danger to the world. This will happen again. We're at twice this century already.

They say that about democracies while conveniently forgetting Britain declaring war against Finland and actually invading Iceland.

The Faroes Islands as well!  However none of them had a McDonald's. 

Come to think of it the British Empire flourished when nobody had a McDonald's and Britain was free to invade any country it liked.

Oh dear. Maybe I am taking this a bit far. 😊

The documentary "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock is interesting.  He tries to a month living on food from McDonald's.  

On one occasion he tried to pull a prank on a friend.  He bought a hamburger and hid it behind the bookshelf at his friend's house expecting it to cause an awful smell before his friend could find it.

Six months later his friend phoned to ask if he had made a secret visit.  His friend had found the hamburger and it still looked very much like a hamburger.

Gives you an idea what is in it.

Aye because if you have a McDonalds once in a while it means you’re useless and don’t know how to cook. Ridiculous statement.

I ate a McDonalds once in about '97. I went for a shite six months later and it came out looking nothing like a Le Big Mac.

Useless people teaching their offspring to be useless too and the joys of comfort food. You would think parents would use the lockdown to teach their kids the importance of how to cook or at least learn the basics, this is some of the knowledge passed down from parent to child as it should be. But what if the parent has no knowledge to pass down?

I don't go to McDonald's. But there's thousands of parents who take their kids regularly, often as a treat. Hence, the long queues upon them reopening.

This thread has been very quiet.

I believe a graph can be produced that proves 49% of all contributors were actually in a queue for a McDonalds.

Of those 67% were (c***s in cars) driving an Audi.

 

When the official report is published all the usernames will be redacted for fear of repprisals.

 

 

Just use foodhub if your desperate. Retailers do not get screwed.

Basic cooking isn’t rocket surgery.  Most incompetence is laziness to learn.

It’s like folk that seem to be proud of the fact they can’t work a washing machine.

 

Correct.

It isn't complicated, it doesn't have to take hours and it can taste great if you just find stuff you actually like.

You get people who grill a chicken breast with no sauce, some boiled veg then go back to Mcdonalds because they didn't like it.

As mentioned previously, it's sheer laziness.

Unless you're cooking cordon bleu meals morning, noon and night cooking is relatively easy.

True, although I did make an absolute pig's ear of an omelette this morning.

Tasted nice but looked more like scrambled eggs with bits in.

all those beef cattle that were due to be slaughtered for burgers what happens to them? Much of the fresh ingredients will go to waste and it will be the same for all fast food suppliers. KFC suppliers will be slaughtering chickens and dumping them in big holes in the ground, thousands of them.

 

I couldnt give a shiny shit about McDonalds or KFC's business model. 

If thats what they are causing their supply chains to do, why is this the customer's problem to solve?

So what? You might have invented a new dish! It tasted allright and you ate it (I presume).

I agree, it was delicious but slightly conflicts with my claim to be competent at basic cooking.

I quite like the idea of him standing disgusted in his kitchen, taking one bite before flinging the rest at the wall in a rage at the abominable presentation before him. Taste alone insufficient to mend his wounded pride and injured sense of self.

He wipes his mouth, spits on the floor, and picks up his car keys before slipping out the back door.

Ten minutes later he is sobbing uncontrollably and beating his fist off the steering wheel as he sits in a mile-long queue for his local McDonald's.

Meanwhile his wife has woken up and got out of bed. She's confused in the kitchen. Where is he? Why is the porridge not ready? It's always porridge on Wednesday...
