Fast Food Misery

Hmmm. I must admit, I was feeling slightly down-trodden when my feet unwittingly led me over the thresh-hold of this KFC, wondering if it was the long lost cousin of the IRA or BNP.

Who am I kidding? I eat here a lot. Well, not this one, but the chain. Who can resist a zinger burger after the pub’s shut. But this was midday on a Wednesday. That’s right. I’d done it. I was eating fast-food at lunchtime.

What made it worse was that this branch is slap bang in the middle of the Wandsworth one-way system, smells bad, looks dirty, and feels depressing. Of my (obviously) Zinger meal, the chips were cold, the burger looked like it had been assembled by a toddler, and the pepsi was – well, actually the pepsi was fine. You can’t mess up a pepsi. And the tray had ‘matter’ on it. I ate my entire meal and left. I’m not going to waste food!

One of the least enjoyable eating experiences in my recent memory. If you’re around this area, go to The Pantry on Old York Road, or even Tony’s across the street is better. Just remember people, don’t eat it - it makes you feel bad. I just keep forgetting!
