Fast Food

I need fast food... I've been living off healthy Chinese food for the past 3 weeks, and now I keep salivating for Domino's Pizza, margarita-style. Yes, they have Domino's. They also have MacDonald's, as well as KFC and Burger King. They don't call it Burger King though. They call it Hungry Jack's here. In New Zealand, it's still known as Burger King.

Hungry Jack's
I haven't seen the menus in person, but I imagine there's no quarter pounder at MacDonald's. And the difference between Hungry Jack's and Burger King? I would have to go with the Aussie Whopper. Not just your average Whopper. This one comes with bacon, egg, 400mg more salt, and 7g more fat.
But that's nothing compared to the Ultimate Double Angus. 3.5kJ energy, 57g of fat, 2300mg of sodium... this baby is guaranteed to send your 35% ejection fraction patient into congestive heart failure. But in all fairness, the health information can be conveniently found on the website. Full disclosure.
Beef is ample and cheap. They even have kangaroo steaks!

  1. An addendum to the above post. They do in fact offer quarter pounders at MacDonald's. Gasp! Blasphemy to the metric system!

  2. It's called a "Royale with Cheese"--not really. The foot-long and six-inch at Subway is still foot-long and six-inch.
