Last time I was in the states, I decided to have a McD, just because. It was shite, worse than the ones here which I rarely have anyway.

My friend pointed out, that when you do something like drop the seats on a station wagon, you often find years old McD french fries, that haven't even gone mouldy or soft - says a lot about what they're made of

First thing I do when I go to Canada, is have pancakes, sausages, maple syrup and fresh cream, with bottomless freshly brewed coffee - traditional breakfast.

There's also nothing like freshly caught wild sockeye salmon, prepared on the beach and then wrapped in salal leaves (or whatever greenery is to hand) and baked in a fire pit covered in sand.

Well, I have watched that strange thing on telly where a bloke goes from diner to diner and usually ends up eating a "challenge." You know, 20 pounds of steak or 10 bloody massive plates of the hottest vile nastyness ever dreamed of or a pizza the size of a car.

You know, I am tempted ... OK, may just stick with a kebab when I am tired (I mean d*unk). Do they do kebabs out there?
