Yeah. But before you go off on how Evil McDoonald's is, let me point
out they're one of the few places I can get decent portions. In higher
class places if you want a hamburger you get a 6 to 8 ouncer for
corresponding prices. I'm not into eating that much. I go for the fast
food where 1/4 is still considered a good size.
You should really look at the offerings at Carl's Jr.
Mmmm. Six Dollar Burger...
Dave
A Six Dollar Burger is precisely what I do NOT want!!!!! I do NOT want
lumberjack-sized portions at lumberjack prices!!!! I am getting sick to
death of finding that the only option on the menu unless I can somehow pass
myself off as being under 10 years old - and then enduring the starch &
fried stuff offered the kiddies. "We have macaroni and cheese - and for our
vegetable, we have CORN!!!"
"Senior plates" are roughly 3/4 the size at 4/5 the price. That's an
improvement. Somewhat of an improvement.
I want one-ounce cookies, 2-4 ounce hamburgers, plates with actual
vegetables on them (and NOT boiled to death with grease in them) and
portions no larger than what grown adults who did manual labor used to eat
50-60 years ago. I want a one-egg breakfast burrito and a 2-egg omelet. I
want French toast, not French "Texas Toast." I want pancakes the size you
get on a side order, not pancakes that cover an entire modern dinner plate.
I want potatoes the size of a stapler, not the size of a football. I want
8-ounce cups of coffee to be available and drinking glasses at the dinner
table to hold 8 ounces of milk comfortably, not to demand 16 ounces.
I am a little old lady, dammit, not a 7-foot 300 pound football player!!!!
