Worst take away in Australia

[MICKYG]

Had to do a little job behind an asian takeaway shop once and encountered all the meat for the day sitting on a tray on top of the wheelie bin in the sunlight thawing, very hygenic, consequently went out backwards.

There was another place in town who sold pieces of burgermeat inside hamburgers which were still frozen inside, Tasty burgers. Fish and chips where the fish was still frozen on the inside. I will bet they are still wondering why they have no customers.

Have had a bad meal or two over the years but usually dont ever go back.

Best fish and chips shop, by a mile, is Flaky Jakes in Carrum Downs.

If you're ever down at Rosebud, Vic. try the fish and chip shop in Ninth Avenue, but be prepared to wait a long time for your meal. Its sooooo good the shop is always full to overflowing.

Something wrong with the plumbing inside?

I think any "foodcourt" has the worst food in general...regardless of location

should be called "cold, unrecognisable slop filled with E. Coli courts" but that would take up too much signage I guess

FIL calls them "feedlots". people queing up for ages squashed up waiting to be fed.

As for Macca's, was in Kamchatyka for a couple of weeks fishing, lived on Reindeer for most of that time and the cook was bloody awful, never heard of a BBQ (tale a piece of reindeer rump, boil for 30 minutes, served with army style cabbage ).

ok well if we are taking this thread overseas, ive got a tale or two. As an army Indonesian linguist, i have done a few trips through southeast asia. my last and most memorable one was in 1996, just before i got out. I was a member of an aussie army training team which went to indonesia for about 6 weeks of the approx 30 team members only 3 of us were linguists so the others relied on us quite heavily.

one day off in Bandung, the boys spotted the golden arches and decided that they would go there for lunch. i said i was off to seek out some local food as i cant see anypoint in going to maccas when you can absorb a bit of local culture if you are in a foreign country for a very short time like that. 3 of the group of 12 that i was with came with me and the remainder went to maccas.

now for the big question - how many people got food poisoning???

and heres number 2, from the same trip to Indonesia in 1996.

Whilst we were deployed to the field with the Indonesian Army, they contract local villagers to cater for their meals, but they dont pay them much so the food is often very basic. many of you would be familiar with the indon/malay delicacy known as sate or satay, meaning a meat cooked over an open flame or on a hotplate in peanut sauce.

now try translating to your 30 mates that the main course is

"sate kulit sapi"

Sate - as explained above
kulit -skin
sapi - cow

"Leather in peanut sauce"

i fed mine to the ducks in the village

Pete, the only difference between Maccas and Hungries is that Maccas know how to market their product so that every kid bugs the crap out of the parent when they drive past it! "Can we get Maccas for Dinner?"

you got that right WB.....and that 'supersize me' made em get the salad bar
I have had cardboard taste better
