There used to be more in the past. The pizza hut at Al Khobar's corniche used to be one. But they all failed. If only they sold gyros, Saudis would've been more receptive.

I must admit if I went to Saudi Arabia I probably wouldn't look for a Taco Bell. Too much good local food.

I'd just go around asking for "whatever you guys eat on Ramadan" and feast like a king every day :rock
Title: Re: Im all cool with Jamie Oliver until
Post by: Shaka Khan on February 08, 2012, 02:30:27 AM
Asking for Ramadan's food is actually a great way to try out local cuisine, even if the menu get slightly dominated by sambouseks and sweets.

When Saudis want to express their utmost appreciation for someone, they'd offer their sister or daughter's hand in marriage.

You're a swell guy PD and I'd be honored to have you as brother in law. Share as many meals as you want. Arabic racism be damned.

The only downside is that if you decide to divorce the next day I'll shoot you with a double barrel shotgun.

ack, that means it's never gonna make it here either.

We got KFC though, which is awesome.

I remember when I was in Melbourne there were fucking Nando's restaurants EVERYWHERE. Nando's sucks ass. Also McDonalds across the ditch is not as good as it was here. I went to a McD's in Geelong and the girl behind the counter couldn't understand me due to my kiwi accent  :lol

At the end of one episode, we hear Rhonda McCoy, director of food services for the local county, tell Jamie that he's over budget and did not meet the fat content and calorie guidelines, but she's going to let him continue with the "revolution" as long as he addresses these issues. What is not revealed is that the "meal cost at Central City Elementary during television production more than doubled with ABC Productions paying the excess expense," according to a document obtained by AlterNet from the West Virginia Department of Education.

...

after the first two months of the new meals, children were overwhelmingly unhappy with the food, milk consumption plummeted and many students dropped out of the school lunch program, which one school official called "staggering." On top of that food costs were way over budget, the school district was saddled with other unmanageable expenses, and Jamie's failure to meet nutritional guidelines had school officials worried they would lose federal funding and the state department of education would intervene.

I'm pretty much a drive-thru dude.  Keep my shame hidden.  The other day I was driving by Arbys and as usually happens, saw the sign and had the immediate Pavlovian craving for a Jamocha shake.  When I pulled in tho there were like 7 cars in line at 3 pm, so I just walked in and ordered only a Jamocha shake.  Felt dirty.  :-\

See now that's understandable.  Plus everyone at 4:30am is a bit awkward so you blend in!

I used to go to bars to drink alone and look for ass.  Lowest point in my life for sure.

They're both bad but fast food is worse IMO.  At least with a real meal people understand you've got some standards!  Going to a fast food joint alone gives the impression that you're gonna go home, play some WoW and fuck the sleeve of your favorite sweater.

But at least at a fast-food restaurant no one comes by your table and you're less likely to run into anyone you know.

Toaster ovens are perfect for this kind of thing. They don't take as long to heat up small portions and don't use as much energy.
