Kids these days...

"Police believe teenage pranksters are hacking into the wireless frequency of a US Burger King drive-through speaker to tell potential customers they are too fat for fast food.

Policeman Gerry Scherlink said the pranksters told one customer who had just placed an order: "You don't need a couple of Whoppers. You are too fat. Pull ahead.""

Hahaha, what an awesome prank.

When I saw this on the local news the other night, I wanted to go to that BK just to see what they are saying =D.  Alas, they didn't say which one.

Awsome, Absolutly damn brilliant. Heh and they were probably so so right. Big fat people who are so fat they can't be assed (literally) to get out of their cars to get some Shitty manufactored "food". HAHA ;D

Ah cmon now, Burger King makes a damn fine burger in my opinion.  But this is funny shit.

BK may be junk food, but sorry BFG, unless the state of British beef has changed drastically in the last 3 years, a BK Burger here is better than anything close in the UK.

Talk about overpriced and shitty food, that's beef in the UK.  

Plus now we have mad cow =/. I personally find BK to be the worst fast food chain around. I got food poisoning from it the two times I have eaten there. I find Wendy's to be better :).

THATS IT! IT'S THE EXECUTIVES FROM MCDONALDS AND WENDY'S SCAING AWAY BK'S CUSTOMERS!

n1 Haz.

But we only have had one cow confirmed to have the disease and it came from Canada, so everyone seems to be making a big deal of nothing.  

Hathcock, Mad Cow is a big deal if it gets into the herds.

They ended up destroying the majority of cattle in the UK over this.

The fact that much of our cattle is corn fed makes it much safer though (the feed for cattle over there included unused cattle parts, and helped to spread the disease at first.

There's no way in hell there's just one cow with Mad Cow Disease. They just aren't saying there's more. Why would the beef industry sacrifice billions of dollars of profit to tell people that their food is unsafe?

Because the Beef industry can't stop the FDA from disclosing that information Mr Mellow.

There has only been one reported and confirmed case so far, and many other cows destroyed just in case.

Calm down Mellow, not every thing is a conspiracy theory.  I was actually about a hundred miles from where they found the cow when it happened.  It's not actually that big of a deal.

But still...Even if we assume that the one cow is the only one they know about, I find it highly unlikely it's the only one. I'm not saying you should be worried about eating beef or anything (unless you eat cow brains :P). But still...no way there's only one. How did it get Mad Cow in the first place? If it was from the feed, like the news is saying, how come other cows didn't get Mad Cow from that batch of feed? Sure, they might be in Canada, since it's a Canadian cow, but why would someone spend the money to bring only one cow down from Canada, when they can get American cows and not spend the money to bring it down? Anyhoo. Just some hypothetical questions to keep your mind sharp, and/or confused.  ;)

Damn, now I've gotta stop eating my raw cow-brain sushi that I love so well......

And I had just started growing accustomed to eating the stem cells too!

Bah!

Bucc, The state of British beef has changed... Yeah I think i can definatly use the word drasically. It really has (i work on a farm i can vouch ;) )

BSE Had a horrific inpact on the industry. But the culprits for this in most case's were defiantly not the farmers - but the big cattle feed companies.

BSE was one thing but the food and mouth eperdemic was far far worse. I cannot describe to you the sight of open pits of hundreds and thousands of Cattle and Sheep being burnt. Nor the sight of the Slaughtemen wading though sheep and lambs. It is not plesent... Its believed that originally the Foot and mouth started in a chinese resteraunt which was illigally inporting meat... and a very dodgey farmer in the midlands. Who ever it was, where ever, they destroye the lives of so many people it is hard to comprehend what they have done.

Im not one for slagging of the french... but there iligal ban on british beef was way out of order (considering the state of their cattle and what they got fed). I wouldn't eat French beef.. ive seen... uh i won't say.

These days.. well the way our Lifestock is recorded and monitored has had a huge overhaul. we know have one of the most advanced and thourough systems around - every animal has a Passport which stays with it for the duration of its life. Much of this has been as a result of the Food and Mouth Epidemic though and not BSE.

However i won't eat cheap sausages ( you don't want to know what they put in there), nor anything from a fast food store. Dosn't matter if its Houstan, Texas or Whitehall, London... I wouldn't touch it.  Mcdonalds, Burger king, they are all the same

Come over sometime and let me treat you to a proper Slab of prime British Organic Steak. Its quite somthing.  ;D

I prefer real Swedish steak ;o

(Or lamb chops from NZ, those are great.)

Did i not mention English Lamb from the Yorshire Dales? Thats my speciality.. Nothing like roast lamb.....hmmm

BFG, again, you need to learn that STATES mean more than the country over here with regards to laws and such.  

There is a big difference between getting a hot dog in Michigan, vs getting one in New York.

For example, in New York, it is legal to have up to 3 rat hairs in a hotdog (which is why you buy Kosher dogs if you live in New York, Kosher has better standards).  In Michigan, you can't have any.  We have different food inspection laws state by state.  

Also, I'm still waiting for the UK to allow the animal passports for dogs.  Last time I was there dogs had to be quarenteened for 6 months in a kennel coming from the USA.  Because your fear of forging vacination records (afraid of Rabies that much).  Well, both my dogs have the chips in them which carry the code to their medical records.  The UK was supposed to start accepting that years ago, but they still don't as of 3 months ago.  They aren't quite where they advertised.

English lamb has nothing on a good flank from a deer or elk (and I like lamb), especially since every time I had it it was over done.  You brits seem to overcook all your meat.  I'm having elk tonight, and there's nothing like it.

Yep appologies I do forget (or just plainly realise) that different states vary so much.

I must confess i have never tried Elk.. wouldn't mind a nibble i must say. And your right about der. Theres not much like a fine piece of venison.

Just as i do not take into consideration the different states bucc, id have to say that if you had roast lamb in london it would be very different from roast lamb in Cornwall, which is different from Yorkshire, which is differnt from etc etc... when we say over cooked... we aren't saying that it wasn't red and dripping blood are we? i can't believe how raw some people liek their steaks.

Didn't realise about the issue with (pet) animal passports.. That seems mad as most people have chips in their cats/dogs now... Thats typical of us.

mad cow or not...i'm making sweetbreads and an osso buco risotto tonight. ;D

Usually when I'm in the UK, it's in Rumford, but I've traveled around it, to Scotland and Ireland as well.

And it's a goddamned struggle to get them to even leave your meat pink, let alone medium-rare.  It should be brown on the outside, and just warm on the inside of the meat.  

I usually get my lamb from the arabic deli or the greek resturants around here, but you are talking to the only guy I know that has a jar of mint jelly in the fridge.

Also, elk is about 10x better than deer.  It's a nice, tender meat.  Made for great burgers too.  Most of the burgers I eat are elk (my uncle just brought down one that weighed in at 800lbs of meat after being processed) or Buffalo Burgers, which are great (yes, buffalo as in the big cow that was endangered, was being the key word, not as in buffalo wings).

yeah i saw a thing on tv the other night about how the buffalo meat industry has gotten a little boost latley. i haven't come across it yet but i'd love to try some, if you have the number or website for a good distributer up ther let me have it. i already have a few dishes in mind.

Buffalo is delicious, especially the steaks. Mmm. I know it's more of a Florida thing, but anyone ever try gator tail sausage? Pretty darn good, especially on pizza. Hard to find though.

yeah, but gator tastes just like chicken . it's more the thought of it. like rattlesnake.

I had gator tail poppers at Gator Joe's last week when I was in Florida.  They reminded me much more of rattlesnake than they did of chicken.

It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd get them again.  It wasn't that good either.

     Gator is good, but you're right--it tastes just like chicken. Very tough chicken. It's interesting, but hardly a must-have delicacy.

Rumford? hmm Midlands?

Medium well done is how i like it - but then again you get it different everywhere you go. I like it brown on the outside, with just a touch of pink in the middle. Ive seen folk with steaks pouring blood from the middle though. Raw inside... thats just not right.

Hmm Elk sounds good. Good deer is fantastic (haggis... oh my) but elk really does sound quite fine!

Loth, the gator I had was tender as all get out.  Much more tender than chicken.  Probably on par with a good calamari.  I just didn't care for the flavor that much.

Most of my time in England was spent working in Dunton or Coventry (Ford and Jaguar's offices respectively).  Romford is where I'd stay, it's not far from Dunton (west and a bit north of London).  I've also traveled around on vacation there a couple times.

Try a rare steak before you knock it.  I've yet to have one of my friends from the UK come here and not fall in love with our prime rib, rare with fresh ground horse raddish.  Not a one.

A good, medium done burger is just grand, but a Whopper is a turd on a bun. I have a hard time believing its worse than beef in Britain.
