Most Repugnant Food Item
Marilyn May 6th, 2007
Why is it that fast food companies are hell bent on bastardising a classic food item? And why do we buy this rubbish? We all love a good hamburger and I am old enough to remember the home made ones we used to buy at the corner shop. But that was not good enough for McDonalds who spent enormous time and money reducing the hamburger to a tasteless, grey piece of cardboard (with pickles) between a sweet, spongy bun. Then came tinned pineapple on pizzas. Now Pizza Hut have surpassed themselves — Elizabeth Meryment in The Weekend Australian reports:
‘Most repugnant food item spotted this year: Pizza Hut’s new meat-pie pizza, in which a greasy pie is somehow baked into the body of a cheese-laden pizza. Surely up there with deep-fried Mars bars.’
Here’s one from the recent ABC program “Don’t Die Young” in the episode about the heart.
“Dr Alice Roberts: Please can I have – let’s see what you’ve got. Er, may I have a medium-sized portion of chips with cheese.”
This was a MacDonald’s burger container full of hot chips, with shredded cheese sprinkled on top – yuck!
Also what about beer-battered french fries?
Cheers
