American fast food

5th September, 2011

Today I went for a walk around the immediate neighborhood from where I was staying. I went for lunch in Arby's. There were a number of fast food chains in a row. I saw roast beef sandwich advertised. It looked good. I wish I saw a photo of the sandwiches. It was probably the worst sandwich I have ever eaten. As I was exit-ing, I saw a bell (see above), which said "If your service was GREAT, please ring this bell". I didn't ring it. My sandwich was basically a massive pile of cheap meat and easy singles (in other words, plastic) cheese. It came with (what they called) potatoes. I don't know if there was any trace of a potato there at all.

Most of the American fast food chains are terrible quality (of course, we have a lot of these in Ireland). What is generally good, however, is the diners/waffle houses (fast food with service). These are way tastier and not much more expensive.
