Quick!

Good review of Super Size Me in the Guardian:

If only McDonald's wasn't so tasty. This is the only thing preventing me from fully endorsing Spurlock's denunciation. It's easy to forget just how horrible burgers were in this country before the American invasion in the 1970s. I remember the first time I had a Burger King in the US in 1977, having previously only tasted the concrete turds that used to be on offer in the dire Wimpy Bar restaurant in Watford. It was an epiphany comparable to one experienced by my father, during the second world war when he realised that GIs had uniforms of superior material and cut than those of our officers: America was better than us!"

I can't agree with Peter Bradshaw wholeheartedly. Actually, Burger King always tastes better. McDonald's does have an addictive quality. But until you've tried a Quick'n'Toast from the French/Belgian chain, you haven't lived. Quick'n'Toast pays homage to the original spirit of the burger, using two sliced of Nimble-type toasted bread, with a delicious sauce and salad - and it comes with a cardboard tube around it, so it keeps its shape and looks like the one in the restaurant photos.
