Re: My fast foods of preference ... (4.00 / 2)

Interesting, McD & co is often spoken of as cheap by Westerners, which was and still is definitely not true here (I remember the first McDonalds opened was seen as a trendy exclusive place for those with money). So yes the switch to Chinese and gyros (döner kebab) in my student years was also welcome cost-cutting.

Re: My fast foods of preference ... (4.00 / 2)

The kebabs in Oz would end up being about the same as a Bog Mac, and the better Ozzie burgers a smidgen more ... but since both felt like actual food instead of imitation food, there's no comparing the bang for the buck.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
