Why anyone would scroll past the steak pies, roasts and pizzas and go for cheesy pasta is beyond me.

This is the first time I’ve seen the bit that was on just where they go back and speak to those women 15 years later. I can’t recall ever seeing that before. Because it’s essentially hand held camera footage of what people were seeing, I find it slightly strange that the producers don’t include the (admittedly limited) footage of the first plane. Maybe they don't own it Not sure what the documentary is that follows the fire fighters and has the "good" footage of the first plane hitting but that's a good doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys who filmed it are professional film makers and as you say it’s in another documentary. Can’t say I’ve seen that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Burger King is (or used to be) a bit of a foreign holiday treat for me. They seem to have them in more touristy locations or airports so I tend to associate them with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I had a Burger King burger in a services a couple of weeks ago, and it was by far the worst burger I've ever eaten. It tasted of absolutely nothing, just sheer cardboard. I threw about three quarters of it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Burger King’s Bacon Double XL with cheese is the king imo. It’s the best fast food burger you can get. Their fries are the best too. McD’s wise, double egg & cheese McMuffin, nuggets or a couple of pickleless cheeseburgers are about all I’ll enjoy. I’ll eat other stuff they do but I wouldn’t actually enjoy it. They did do a decent jerk chicken burger recently though. I’ll never understand the clamour for Five Guys either. One of the most disappointing burgers I’ve eaten in my life. Needs to be at least half the price they charge. Jokers. Also, I know it’s not great for the environment so it’s the right call to ditch them but I miss the 80’s/90’s McDonald’s polystyrene burger packaging.

And a quarter pounder with cheese is far better than a big mac at mcdonalds. I don't eat any of them anymore. but when I did that was the hierarchy The Big Mac is complete shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I meant - the Bacon Double Cheese XL. I'm generally cutting down on the amount of meat I eat (hi Kenneth) to be better for my health and the environment and blah blah blah. The other day, I had a Bacon Double Cheese XL meal and it was just heavenly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted August 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2021 Everyone failing to mention that the hash brown is the best bit. McDonalds breakfast in Poland is pretty funny, instead of a McMuffin you get two inverted burger buns with the insides (now outside) toasted with bacon and cheese (or whatever) on called a McToast. It's actually pretty good though, and for less than a quid with a coffee, I'm not complaining. The extra hash brown is still the best bit, though it's almost as expensive again to get one of them added on. Best thing you can do for a BK is stop at a services with a KFC in as well and put a chicken fillet on the **** too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
