Not surprisingly the "duck" part of the name is etymologically derived from an ancient word for genitals.

Pretty much the entire Dollar Tree shopping experience can be summed up as "eh, why not. It's only a dollar".

But yeah, getting food there can be a huge gamble. And not just the actual perishable stuff in the freezer section, once I bought a 3-liter of their :911: Stars & Stripes :911: cola that for whatever reason didn't actually have any sweetener in it so it was just bitter caramel-colored sludge. Or the fact that a lot of their food has trans fats out the wazoo.

The point of an Americano is to have the creama resting at the top, which is why the shot is poured from the machine into the water. This pisses me off enormously.

My dad, a serious-black-drip-coffee guy all his life, ordered an Americano once on our recent trip to Spain. Once. He got one for me, too; it tasted downright homeopathic. I enjoy iced Americanos at Starbucks in the States, so maybe this was just a funky blip.

He switched to the café con leche that was basically the local standard coffee drink, and those were far stronger and more flavorful than that nasty-rear end Americano.

BTW, I didn't see any AFP while I was there, but I did enjoy that the KFCs in Spain advertise (special-edition) Double Downs with posters reading "Bread is for cowards." :allears:

I refuse to fix my typo, but Americano was invented during WWII. It's literally watered down coffee, because American troops in France couldn't handle stronger stuff.

Say what you will, after about three months living in France, all I wanted was to enjoy a coffee for more than three sips and not have it be Nescafé. I ended up going to a specialty kitchen store and buying a French press so that I could feel adequately caffeinated before going to work.

My best friend is living in a little village south of Toulouse and for the first while, all he bitched about how much he missed coffee. I always assumed the French liked coffee.

They like going to little cafes and drinking thimbles of espresso, but your everyday morning coffee was likely instant coffee. Instant wasn't terrible and I drank it probably twice a week or so when my start time was later and I didn't really need to caffeine jolt. It's probably psychological, but I need at LEAST an hour to enjoy coffee in the morning before I feel like o can safely interact with other humans.

Trip report: Angriest Whopper

One of the worst fast-food meals I've ever had was on a road trip; out of desperation, unable to find a decent-looking diner or anything, I stopped at a Burger King and had an Indy Whopper. (Yes, this was when Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull had just come out.) I was frustrated and tired, and the burger was really bland and bad, despite having "Cajun mayo" and pepperjack cheese and the like. So when someone posted an image of the Angriest Whopper, I thought: well, I wonder how different that is? And what in the world will that red bun be like?

So I went.



The burger has some impressive verticality when wrapped. I'm used to the actual burgers at a place being sad, squashed versions of the ads, but this one looked like it might actually be a bit like it.



Opened up, it looked far more like the promo image than I expected it to. I was sitting next to a window with a sticker/poster for the Angriest Whopper, and looking back and forth, I could see the same ingredients in the same order. And yes, the bun really is THAT red. Inside and out.

As for taste? I know it's the thing to do to be all hyperbolic about things in this thread, but, hey, it was pretty good. When you get a bite that has all of the flavors working together, it's nice; a bit spicy, a bit salty, a bit beefy. I find that the flame-grilled flavor at BK tends to come and go, but it was there today. I tried some of the bun on its own, and it did have a slight spicy taste in and of itself. Somewhat oddly, though, the best-tasting bits of the burger were the ones where it tasted most like a plain ol' Whopper.



I didn't know if I was going to post this possibly-gross picture of a half-eaten burger, but what the hell. You can see how violently red the inside of the bun is, there.

So, yeah, there's that. The only real thing wrong with this lunch was that, for the amount I spent, I could've gotten one of the crazy-good patty melts at the local diner with hand-made-to-order potato chips, or a huge plate of pad thai with hot and sour soup, or a basket of Dr. Insano wings and salt-and-pepper fries from the other diner, or hand-breaded clams and chowder at the new seafood joint, or or or... there are just so many good meals to be had around here in this price range that it feels weird to have gone to Burger King and had something that was, yeah, all right, but nothing extra-special.
I tried it yesterday. Other than Five Guys, you're not going to do better with a fast food burger, and a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger starts at $7.99 (restaurant burgers around here are in the $10-15 range) compared to $5.49 for the Angriest Whopper so it's a good value for the price. It was by far the closest to an ad I've ever seen a fast food item look. The spiciness in the bun was pleasant and everything else was nicely balanced, I wouldn't have minded more jalapenos but I like them a lot more than most people so what's on it is just right. Easily the best burger you'll get from a drive-through around here, not that that's a high hurdle to clear.

It photographs weirdly well, but the bun is just sort of unsettling. Still would.

Elliotw2 posted:

The bun in the bitten picture reminds me entirely too much of playdoh for me to be comfortable ordering one.
It's every bit as red as it looks in those pictures and when bitten into it really does look like Play Doh. Judging by taste, the amount of hot sauce used would change the color just enough that you would look twice if not for the food coloring.

I found the bun to be really... substantial. Like, it held its cylindrical shape really firmly. Seemed extraordinarily dense for a piece of fast food burger chain bread.
