I'd kill for a Taco Bell or a Jack in the Box.  Well... adding on the caveat of not needing to go to an American military base - I know there's a Taco Bell on Moldyhall or Lakenheath or something. -__-

Really? Do you know if they let civilians in to eat there?

Yeah... I'd be taking advantage of the fact that I know several people who are stationed over there; I'm former Air Force myself.  But DH is a bit on the shy side, so it's moot - unless I can coax them here for him to vet, there's no way I can convince him to go there to permit me to gorge my fat little face. :(

LOL. It would be hard to resist. I'm sure I'd see you there! I've joined a Facebook group trying to bring Arby's to the UK. For some reason I miss their mozzarella sticks more than anything...I once left my dorm at 1am to go to the 24-hour truck stop Arby's and get some. How sad is that?!

We have Krispy Kreme about 80 miles from where we live I just cant justify driving all that way just for a doughnut even though a Glazed Krispy Kreme doughtnut is heavenly to me!!  [smiley=angel.gif]   [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

They did have DD in Scotland.  I can still think of location of at least three of them in Glasgow, but I can't remember if they sold the coffee or not, at the time I didn't drink much coffee.

They all closed a few years ago.
