Irish court rules Subway bread is not bread

The US chain’s sandwiches do not meet definition of bread or a staple food
because it contains too much sugar.

The bread’s sugar content – five times the qualifying limit under the act – means that it falls outside of the legal definition of a staple food.

Subway bread is not bread, Irish court rules

Judge finds that sugar content of US chain’s sandwiches exceeds stipulated limit and they should thus be classified as confectionery

I also enjoy the maccas fries. easy to eat when in the car. Just pour em into your mouth

 

[Kram]

Those tiny chips are worst thing about maccas.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

they're the only thing I like from there.

The recent 'apple pies' at Macca's are yum - raspberry and custard and banana and custard

The chocolate ones were incredible but it was rare to actually get to enjoy them fresh and hot. Basically I am never eating in there, and for takeaway eat the main meal first before having one.

I think Maccas at this point is pretty pointless for me. In terms of nice burgers to dine in, I would much rather find an indy joint or a local bar that do great burgers. For drive through takeaway, probably better value at a number of other outlets, and same for pure value, as there is likely better at other places for cheap menus (HJs for example).

Can't remember the last time I chased up McDonalds specifically, and thats coming from someone who will have a pub feed once a week, make the effort to leave the house to get fast food once a month, and probably once or twice a month will grab fast food on the drive home from the GFs or similar.

HJ's Burgers I find are cold more often than not as they microwave the pattys.

We don't have an Indy burger joint. We have a Burgur near us but the chips are soggy by the time you get home. I do like YOMG burgers but they are outside my 5km radius.

Burger joints are pretty Meh for me. Maccas & HJ are just somewhere we go because the kids 'like it'. Im not even sure they really enjoy it, they are just so conditioned to eating it through happy meals etc. Usually we need to tell them to eat more as they have a few bites and thats it. Before the i met my missus (and her kids) i hadnt had maccas or HJs in years (except blind drunk and getting something on the way home from city)

As for actual Burger joints, they are nice enough but not often im wanting to pay $15 for a burger or $20+ for a burger meal which is what most of them tend to be.

A pattysmiths has opened near me in palm beach. Quite enjoying their menu

Horses is my favourite album of her's.

We have an Uber Eats greek joint we order from. They don't actually have a shop front (operate out of the the cultural center). Arguably better than any kebab shop I have been to. An Open kebab for one is enough to make 2 kebabs and chips for a couple.

Id love to have a greek joint near me, weve got 2 thai restaurants, chinese and plenty of pizza and fish n chips. There is a mexican joint thats just opened we can get uber eats from which we havent tried yet. Got my doubt it would be any good but will have to try it soon.

Confectionery?

 

[Catfish Alley]

I used to work for a bread manufacturer. Amazing how much they load up on sugar over the border. Yes, it is technically cake.

Usually stuff like that is adjusted to the taste preference of the country. I‘m surprised they tried to use US style bread in Ireland.

Next mob to fall off the perch?

3 local stores recently closed.
Merrylands knocked down for redevelopment of Stocklands Mall,
Smithfield closed, converted into an El Jannah (first one with a drive through) Hi craffles
Wetherill Park store boarded up \ unbranded over the last couple of days

Personally I think their menu and chicken are crap anyways

 

[Catfish Alley]

Red Rooster seemed to go downhill quickly. Not a coincidence that KFC improved at the same time and renovated their shops.

They just don’t have any value over a local chicken rotisserie place.

 

[Hawk Dork]

and the supermarkets selling roast chooks

Yeah, those are a good deal. Do they still do stuffing? I miss that! Supermarkets sell them but no rotisserie shops over here.

Locally we have a few different Arabic chains like El Jannah and La Mono who are absolutely killing it

Both charcoal roasted, but so good

I always seem to get undercooked birds at Woolies

Won't touch them anymore

Didn't mind the old Hawaiian pack back in the day, before the Banana crop failed due to that Cyclone & they went up to $50 bucks a kilo because of it. They never did bring em back thereafter.

They use to have the 3 flat-head tails & chips pack....That was bloody nice.
