names of Fast Food places in your area?

LOL! I am a vegetarian and I still have In-N-Out cravings every few years.

HeHe! 

I never understood the appeal of IN-N-OUT tbh, there are far better burger places (and burgers) out there. 

Those of you in the London area craving a kickass burger should deffo check out Fine Burger Co., Hamburger Union & Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Not only do all these burger restaurants serve burgers that are out of this world, they also have proper vegetarian options on their menus (unlike IN-N-OUT and most other American burger joints). 

so far nobody in the uk mentioned a Taco Bell... *cries* well, that just means if i ever make it there.....and I come home for a visit...i'll be eatting nothing but TacoBell while im home. hah

LOL!!!  Nope!  but I do think there is one up north near an army base, or in the Army base.

I like to refer to it as Taco HELL!!!!

Well let's see.. I live in London so there's everything here.  But in my neighbourhood, there's KFC, about 5 other fried chicken places, and 10,000 kebab shops.  No Taco Bell.     But I wouldn't eat there anyway.

Within a 10 minute walk of my house, we have a kebab shop, 2 chinese takeaways, and 2 fish & chip shops.

Burger King
McDonald's
Subway
KFC
Pizza Hut
Domino's
and of course all the other various types of take away.

The only restaurant I really miss from the states is Waffle House. I go home to the states in 10 days for a month long visit and Waffle House will be stopped at even before I go to see my mother. A double order of scattered and smothered hash brown..............heaven.

Oh, Taco Bell.  I spent the first year here mourning the loss of my beloved Taco Bell.  There is one somewhere down south at the Lakenheath base, but it's not worth the trek, really.  Fortunately I've weaned myself from all junk food over the course of the last several months, so it's much easier to cope now.  I'm sure I'll have a hard time when we're back in the US for visits, though!

How sad am I that the only fast food I eat is the very occasional fish and chips or roasted chicken from Sainsbury's?  Even with fish and chips I sometimes walk outside the place, smell the grease and change my mind.

I have to hold my nose to keep the nausea from overtaking me at the mere smell that fast food places exude.    The worst part of downtown has a KFC and a McDonald's and you can't walk down the street without being bombarded by that old dirty artery clogging hydrogenated grease smell.

We have Dominoes, Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, KFC right around the corner and all of the other typical ones you find in the UK not 10 minutes from here. I ate or should I say tried to eat KFC about a year ago and I just could not bring myself to eat it. 

Honestly... the longer you go with out it the less you crave it.  Eat real food.... it's so much better for you and the environment and cheaper in the long run.  I am getting off my soap box now.....

I worked at Taco Bell for years back home, and always preferred Del Taco. They far exceed Taco Bell in my opinion. Should I explain? Ok, I will. First of all, Taco Bell uses bags of 'dehydrated' beans, for their beans. You just add boiling water, let it sit for a bit, give it a stir, and wa-laaaa! you have refried beans. Now, I remember that Del Taco used to, and I am pretty sure they still do, cook whole pinto beans themselves, in huge stainless steel pots. Taco Bell also uses pre-cooked taco meat, that is just basically boil to reheat in the bag. Del Taco, cooks their own. In fact, all the meat at Taco Bell, chicken, steak, etc. is pre-cooked, and just reheated by boiling in a bag. The rice is fresh, the pico is fresh, but that's about all.

Vnicepeeps, you are not alone!  After seeing Super Size me, I am done with fast food!!!  I still get shivers!

I agree 100%. Even when I lived in the US, I never ate fast food. Would you believe that I once had a McDonald's yogurt and berry parfait thing, but that was and is the only time I ever ate at Micky D's? Just never appealed to me when there's so much good food out there!

It's true ... I went about 8 years without any McDs or BK etc and never missed it. Then some friends persuaded me into a BK for breakfast on a weekend away and after that I felt silly always saying "no, I don't eat that stuff" whenever it was suggested so I did have the occasional one.  Now, however, I haven't been in one of those places for over a year I am pleased to say and have no desire to.  Pizza we tend to get from a local place (ie non chain) so they are more 'home made' and the only thing I really crave is a decent Chinese takeaway because we haven't found one since we moved - although I have stocked up on all the ingredients at a local Asian supermarket to make my own.

(sigh)  I miss Uncle Bud's Catfish from home in Tennessee.  As well as White Castle from Ohio!  I have cravings!

well since i've never been to Tennessee i can I never had Bud's Catfish... but White Castle my ex used to crave.....and we went to the shore not to long ago together and we HAD to stop... i didn't like it much..... i ate like 7 or 8 of the little burgers but i still didn't like it that much.  a little to bland for my taste buds.

Isn't there some sort of unwritten law that you have to be drunk (or otherwise inebriated) to ENJOY Whitecastle? I've never lived near onemyself.

If I were in the UK I would only miss Culvers. As no one has mentioned this you all must not have been around one in the states, as they have the best burgers.
