Well, realistically the same with McDonalds. I took a couple of teenage boys to a hometown hamburger place a few years back, 25.00$$$$ for 2 Supremo Burgers, 2 (Large) French Fries,
2 (Large) Milkshakes and 2 Deep fried Apple Turnover things.

I was aghast by both price and pounds, but they were young, healthy, ripped and probably hungry by dinner time.

I love Olive Garden... Really nice food it is consistently awesome. Love their meat sauce and the spaghetti noodles are fresh. Buy the wine by the bottle and enjoy!

Dont listen to the bougies trying to spoil it for others. It’s a great place with a great meal and great prices for everyone.

Enjoy and Bon Appetite

I think the most underappreciated restaurants and form of cooking is Portuguese.

Yeah they have a great delicacy - raw green skate liver. Just like pudden.

Isn’t haggis actually Scottish? The point is I can’t even point to any Irish food. Ever been to an Irish restaurant? I have but guess what, they served pretty good burgers but that isn’t an Irish food. Of course, the beer was good but WHERE is the Irish food?

Meanwhile, potatoes are native to Peru, and Irish immigrants started having cornbeef and cabbage after being introduced to it by Jewish immigrants.

Yes it is Scottish. That’s why I wrote “Irish haggis” just to reinforce your point that there is no well-known Irish food. Well, maybe potatoes. And green beer.

Woman: “If you serve this in an Italian Restaurant at a minimum they will burn the place down.”

Man: “And that would be a waste of a match.”

Woman: “But first they’d decapitate you.”

Man: “Then they burn the place down.”

Man: “This dish here would be 3-5 years in jail.”

Well, there is Irish stew but I never had it mainly because the Irish restaurants I’ve been to don’t serve it. Instead they mostly serve standard American fare. Like hamburgers.

I so agree. I will go out of my way to not break bread with people I don’t care for. Sometimes it can’t be helped.

I’m not sure Americans are allowed to say things like that anymore. Unless they are Democrats.
