  that sounds awful -  I know I am Vegan and don't eat that sort of stuff now

but there was a time I did eat both shakes & Bacon I love both

there is no way I would have liked that flavor combination that sound disgusting - bacon in ice cream

I like salty things in ice cream and in chocolate. mmmmm

  You know, I gotta stop going to these places!  It is up to the take-out window and a fill-'er-up too much for me these days.  I see these food promotions and only a few times I'll try these if it is not a sweet item.  Usually it is a #1 medium at the burger joint du jour with a Dr. Pepper.  It is usually too hot to cook here during this season, even with the fresh veggies coming out of my garden.  Homemade sandwiches?  The bread from the grocers are too dense and gummy and I end up eating the stuff in between and ending up throwing out the rest of the loaf.  I like my BLT fresh and a shake, separately, not infused together!

Joelene - it's all the same to your stomach!

Aww I was hoping I would get away with not having one here lol. The pretzel burger did me in. Though Sonic's pretzel dogs are amazing as well.. I think it's still open right now too...

Kia Ora Jamie,

An apple...As a small child, when visiting the countryside (which was a treat for a city child) scrumping was a popular past time, (I just couldn't resist it) and one had to be 'fast' to get away from the angry farmer who own the apple orchard...So does this qualify as " Irresistible Fast Food"

I was thinking yesterday, that I miss Chili Dogs from Sonics.

I would say it all depends on whether you got caught!

Kia Ora Jamie,

I was fast so I never got caught, but I did get an electric shock once when reaching over a fence to grab an apple - the fence was  electrified...(But I still got the apple though)

Ewwww, most of the stuff on that stuff sounds disgusting to a (half) german like me. I vote for the McRib, it's very tasty but i haven't had one in a long time.

In my little corner of the world there is a small chain of tamale stores, Delia's Tamales, that sell them by the dozen. If that isn't decadent enough, they even have a drive thru.

Their cream cheese and jalapeño as well as their chicken and cheese tamales are to die for... and given the amount of fat in them you will if you are not careful!

Mmmmm tamales    That's a tasty treat I haven't had for awhile... Yum!!!

There is quite a variety of them too. Every Christmas, the entire family would be in the kitchen making tamales (ground beef, because my mom insists on it)... almost enough for the next three months.  My great-aunt makes a special batch of pig's ear tamales (homemade and very rarely made elsewhere) and brings us some too (we exchange tamales like people in colder climates exchange fruitcakes )!

My wife was unfortunate enough to start eating a batch of them thinking they were just pork tamales. "Why are these tamales crunchy", she asked. My sister and I looked at her with horror as competition to eat them is fierce enough and she threw them away in shock when we told her what they were.

Personally, I wish to someday fuse Greek and Mexican to make Lamb & Feta tamales. My mom just insists I'm crazy.

I understand that making tamales is a long involved process, it would be interesting to experiment with different meats and cheeses

I like most cheeses including Feta and also blue cheese

I actually have a recipe for Greek style quesadillas 

I went to the Aussie franchise of Burger King today - Hungry Jacks.

I was coerced. The woman I was with was demanding.

First thing I noticed; I was the size of one leg of the people who appeared to be devote customers. The place was very clean. The staff were very polite. The food was well presented rubbish.

I couldn't eat any of it. The smell was enough.

There was once a British agricultural colony in northern Baja California, near present-day San Quintin.

In the 1880s, a British land company with plans for a wheat empire purchased much of the San Quintin area from the US–based International Land Company; at the time, ILC owned most of northern Baja. In response to promises of agricultural wealth, around a hundred English colonists purchased subdivided land tracts from the parent company, planted wheat, and constructed a gristmill. For flour transportation, the English built a pier on inner Bahiá San Quintin and began constructing a railway to link up with the Southern Pacific tracks to the north in California. Thirty kilometers of track were laid, including a rail causeway from the west bank of inner Bahiá San Quintin, before the colony failed. A 17-ton, six-wheeled locomotive still lies underwater at the mouth of the bay, the remains of a loading accident for the aborted railway.



Though the British have been long gone, they left more than submerged locomotive and a graveyard.  They left their cultural heritage, in the form of the bangers and mash breakfast burrito.  Mexican-English fusion fast food.

Flour tortilla, with British style-sausages, lumpy mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and tomato salsa.  Loverly.

Damn girls you get all the good food over there our fast food industry in aus really hasn't changed or had good food in over 30 years, I think I'm living in the wrong country lol.

I must make this!

For I am intrigued by the idea of a delicious fusion of the cuisine of my heritage with the novelty of British cuisine (it's kinda rare where am... but I loved the steak and kidney pie I had on vacation!)

This sounds better than when I filled a taquito on Thanksgiving with turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce!

... freaked out my relatives more than when I wrapped bratwurst and sauerkraut in a flour tortilla..
