Though care is taken in provision of safe food, there is a universal consensus
that you should take heed of the following tips, especially when going for fast
foods:
Chicken nuggets:
This is a concern
food as they have
been found to melt
into a pool of liquid,
when left out for a while.
Sweetened teas: These
have huge amounts of sugar
comparable to any soft drink,
even more than soda!
Grilled chicken options:
Though grilled is often healthier,
fast food grills are a big NO! For
example, to keep chicken grills
for sandwiches from sticking,
three squirts of liquid margarine
are applied on the bottom. To
keep them juicy, after placing
frozen blocks of chicken, three
more squirts of liquid margarine
are applied to the tops. Now that
is truly fatty!
Seafood salad: By seafood,
many takeaway chains mean
imitation crab and the rest
was just mayo. Lots of mayo.
Fish sandwiches: You had
four vats of oil that you cooked
fries in. After about two days,
the oil got too dark for fries. So it
is switched over to the ones for
chicken. Since it was darker, it
was ok. Then that goes on for a
week. After a week of massive
frying, the oil is black as motor oil.
At that point, it’s switched to the fish filet
vat. That’s the only thing you cook in that
vat.
Pan pizzas: Any pan pizza is
a bad choice. I remember
preparing the frozen discs
of dough and filling the pan
with vegetable oil. Those
things are saturated with
the stuff
Stuffed crust pizza: The stuffed-crust
pizza has an entire stick of mozzarella
cheese crammed into the crust of
EVERY SINGLE SLICE. The pizzas
are cut eight ways, so that’s eight full
mozzarella sticks you’ll be getting per
stuffed-crust pizza
Fast food veggie burgers:
Do not order veggie burgers,
ESPECIALLY if you do it for
religious reasons. It’s cooked
in a microwave, and handled
by people and utensils that
have made contact with meat
products. Seriously, if you want
a veggie burger of such
a low quality, just
buy some frozen
patties at a store,
grill them yourself,
and you will be
way better off.
Visiting restaurants before
closing time: This is a no-
brainer to some! Old and
unused menu items are
served at this time. Many
pizza places make “Slice-
pies” or overly large pizzas
specifically for the purpose of
selling individual slices. These
slices are slowly heated and
sit until sold throughout the
day. While safe, they are
cardboard at the end of the
night.
