    Well to be fair, speaking of pizza, in France we had more topping options as well... seafood, goat cheese, salmon, egg/ham/cheese, lettuce, gorgonzola... '4 cheeses' pizza over there in pretty much any restaurant will have some gorgonzola in it, something I miss dearly here (but I make my own when I want that). One of my favorite chains there used to have a pizza with lettuce and fresh goat cheese... it was delicious. Their pizzas actually clock in at 700-900 calories each too, which is really reasonable for a one person pizza...

    And now I want pizza.

    me too...those sound amazing!

    FYI you can still get a beer in McDonalds in France (Well Paris for sure) and wine too. In Paris it's cheaper to get a beer at McDonalds than most places!

    And continental McDonalds is much nicer than English or American- the fries are better and the mayo is so much better! Maybe it's to do with the salt they're allowed to put on it that we can't have in the UK any longer...

    Because of this thread I just spent $18 on purple sweet potato Kit Kats on Amazon LOL
    I guess that's taro, right? I know it's a purple potato pretty much.

    Japanese Kit Kats are amazing for their variety and....oddness. Sample packs FTW! :smile:

    come on, just make some great buttermilk ones, and then lament that you can't get the biscuits from red lobster. Those I'd kill for.

    Has anyone tried the box Red Lobster biscuits yet? I admit I'm curious about how they turn out.

    I detest the Red Lobster biscuits even in the restaurant so I didn't try them...but my mom buys the mix often and loves them, swears they're exactly like the ones in the restaurant.

    You're welcome! ;)

    I'll probably end up getting some of those as a birthday gift for my sister. KitKat is her favorite candy bar. Hopefully they'll have an assortment available.

    I love purple jam (ube) ice! Especially the fibre blobs inside are wonderful!

    Other than that I don't really eat fast food unless it's the only thing available: McD at Abu Dhabi airport in the later evening was as I could get *puke smiley* Oh well.. I was hungry, so... basically, I think why should I eat fast food whent there's so much great fresh food around.
