with you that a homemade hamburger (or a real hamburger in a real

hamburger. I love real hamburgers; I tolerate (sometimes) fast food
hamburgers.

And one more "having said that": comparing the various fast-food
hamburgers with each other, not with real hamburgers, I think Wendy's
are the best, Carl's Jr second, In-n-Out third, and McDonalds and
Jack-in-the-box tied for last.

To further illustrate that we all have our own preferences, which is a
good thing and not a bad thing, here are mine. With extremely few
exceptions, I've found hamburgers in 'real' restaurants to be generally
awful, or at best mediocre.



Interesting. Yes, we all have different tastes and different opinions,
but it surprises me that anyone would feel that way.

At our house we make what we call "real" food -- or at least largely (we
also have our share of junk, too). We make our own bread from scratch, make
mac and cheese from scratch (sometimes going as far as to make our own
pasta, though less often now than in the past), make our own soups, etc. We
do not buy much prepared stuff.

Friends of my kids come over and they have no idea what to make of home made
food!

homemade one.

if you limit yourself to the worst of the bunch, then it's no surprise
you think fast food burgers are horrible. there are quite a few fast
food burger places than just those, some of which are actually decent.

I'm the cook in our family, and I also make most things from scratch.
We buy very little prepared food. But it sounds like you make more
things than I do.

One thing you do that I don't is make pasta. Although many people
think that fresh pasta is better than dried, most chefs disagree. I
disagree too. They are *different*, rather than one being better.

Absolutely. Bread, too. We make our own homemade bread... and at this point
cannot even stand the smell of the bread isle in super markets. We also have
made our own ice cream but there are brands we buy which I think are also
good.



There's supermarket bread and there's bakery bread. There are some
exceptions, but unlike supermarket bread, most bakery bread is very
good

most supermarkets have their own bakeries and bake fresh on site, in
addition to the packaged stuff.

Good grief. Do you mean that McDonald's didn't add that before handing

her the coffee?

I guess one reason that we prefer Timmie's is that they add the
cream/milk/sugar before they hand you the coffee. And while it's hot,
it's never too hot.

I guess it comes down to expectations and what you're used to, but I'd
be quite put off if I ordered coffee and they tried to add sugar or
creamer before they handed me the coffee. Good grief, do they also
pre-condiment your burger? :-)

You order and get exactly what you want: nothing, cream, double milk,
etc etc. "Double double" means double cream with double sugar. For some
reason, a lot of people like that. Not me, I hate sugar in coffee. ;-)

Have a good day,

In California a "Double-Double" is the In-n-Out Burger go-to burger.

I've not eaten at an In-n-Out Burger place yet.

The double-double is also a a burger at a great independent place on
Long Island "All-American Burger". It was featured on Travel Channel's
"Hamburger Paradise" show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5ivMlIq4sI

Here's their double double:

"Double-Double" is an In-n-Out registered trademark.

Interesting! I've never heard "double milk" or "double sugar, but I'd

I wouldn't know what he meant.

Isn't it just quadruple?

That night after dinner the cowboys were all sulking and ignoring the cook. He pulled one aside and asked, "Did I screw up the cooking?"
"No", the cowboy replied, "You cooked up the screwing."

The reason the woman was burned, if I recall correctly, is because the
coffee's temperature was too hot (obviously) and because the ****ty car
she was in had no cup holder. In the end, if McDonald's can be sued for
the coffee being too hot then the car manufacturer should also have
been
sued for not providing a place for the old bag to put her drink.
you don't recall correctly, or at all, actually.

mcdonald's knowingly served coffee that was far too hot for human
consumption, which they knew could cause serious burns, which had
burned over 700 other people and they had *no* interest in changing
anything.

Of course, the woman who put the cup between her legs and drove away
with it still between her legs bears no responsibility at all.


To clarify: she was not driving the car, she was a passenger. The
driver drove off while she held the cup of coffee between her legs.

Why did the driver get off the hook? That was reckless
endangerment. The driver caused the burns by taking off in an
unsafe manner.

It's already been established that the car wasn't moving.

The only person to blame is the stupid woman placing hot liquid next to her reproductive organs. ****'s sake people, take responsibility for yourself. Americans, please grow the **** up! Coffee is a hot drink, you don't put it on your vagina!

she didn't do that.

the vehicle was parked and she was the passenger.

So she was clumsy and spilt it. Who gives a ****?

1. The vehicle was stopped when the spill occurred.
2. The court ruled McDonalds was shirking their own responsibilities.


Just made a fresh pot of coffee with Proctor Silex 12 cup coffee maker
and poured a cup and tested it wit an accurate Photo thermometer and it
was 139 degrees F.
Just right for drinking, 180-190 is way way too hot, .

Mcdonalds are definitely in the wrong. The End.

Wrong you ****ing idiot. Coffee is meant to be hot. Sane people wait till it's cool enough to put in their mouths, not attempt to pour it into their reproductive organs. Americans are so ****ing childish they have to blame someone else every time they screw up their own pathetic little lives.
