Saw similar today, a McD drive through with traffic backing onto a main road. It's hardly a massive loss is it, I occasionally use them when desperate but it's fuel not food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer McM Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Can't remember what decade it was when I last had a McDonald, I found they could easily become addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actualy had one last month and found it nearly, not quite, but nearly edible. the last time I had one about twenty years ago they were inedible so there has been a slight improvement.

Yup, fuel not food, Burger King is slightly better but not enough to make it worth a special trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dmr Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Not everybody is profiteering.....Hardware shop in the next town along has secured a good supply of handwash, disinfectant spray, gloves etc, at more or less standard prices, so he put this on the local town facebook group. We phoned to check availability, he said shop closed to customers, pay by card via phone app, will deliver to your door, no human contact. We told him we lived on a boat and would meet him at a bridge, he said no, stay on boat, goods will be left on front deck. This is not an advert but must mention the shop name...Totally Screwed Hardware ? ..............Dave 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmelly Posted March 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Heres a laugh for you all. Mys sister 63 phoned my wife today to ask her how to roast a piece of pork as her delivery had brought pork instead of the chicken she asked for. I suppose they deliver whatever they have do they? I have never done online food shopping. Anyway my sister lives on pre prepared food from M and S or eats at dumps like prett a manky or whatever they call it but is now buying actual food as she is self locked up lol. How many out there that have bought all the food that peeps like us know how to cook are actualy clueless as to what to do with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer McM Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I did read a comment elsewhere that one day last week the highest search result on Google was 'how to cook pasta'. Re online shopping, there's a box you have to untick if you don't want substitutes. The best substitute we've had was when I ordered a 1.5 litre bottle of whiskey. It was substituted with 2 litre bottles of the stuff. I didn't complain obvs. If you don't like the substituted item, the delivery man will take it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas off, teatowel on top of lid, wait 20 minutes. lift lid and serve. https://whatscookingamerica.net/Pasta_Rice_Main/Perfect-White-Rice.htm Baked spud tonight, with butter .... best if baked in wood ash, else gritty skins, unless using foil.
