My favorite breakfast items from McDonald's are their sausage & egg McMuffin and hash browns...
You've never had a Dairy Queen Blizzard?
The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King. I like
their onion rings too, but I agree about the gasious
side-effect.
As far as chicken nuggets, I actually like McDonald's chicken
nuggets. KFC also has some chicken nuggets that I think are
pretty good (I do like KFC's seasoning).
Ooo, I love those. Before the price almost doubled, I use to
hit the DQ near me on a weekly basis during warm weather.
Downing a couple of chili-cheese doge and a small blizzard out
on their patio, made for a nice time.
I'm a curly-fry fan, myself. Mickey-D's are good, but a little
thing; I like my fries on the thick side, with ridges.
...their onion rings tend to give really stinky farts...
Really? I didn't know they could do that.
...the Lasix keeps my kidneys in high gear.
There's an image, though admittedly, it did me LOL.
I do like to have Funions or Lays Dill Pickle Potato Chips with them.
Ew. Might want to keep some Tic-Tacs standing by. :p
Speaking of which, one thing that recently disappointed me, was
trying the steak nuggets at Arbys. They promoted the heck out
of those things (and I thought they were doing a good job of
it, even).
Really? I didn't know they could do that.
It depends on your digestive tract, and what you eat.
Arkansas. Their sirloin steak tips were absolutely delicious!! My
late wife and I would order them on a regular basis...went
real good with A1 Steak Sauce.
I liked KFC when they had the boneless deals. I especially love
their cole slaw.
The sausage & egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food breakfast
items.
Years ago, there was a restaurant chain called "Steak Out" in
central Arkansas. Their sirloin steak tips were absolutely
delicious!! My late wife and I would order them on a regular
basis...went real good with A1 Steak Sauce.

Occasionally lately I've been getting food delivery, but sometimes I
still prefer to go pick it up myself. Sometimes, my delivered food
order is missing an item (which could be the fault of either the
delivery service or restaurant employees). Food delivery also adds
fees.. So going there to pick it up myself is less expensive, and I
can ensure the order is correct (especially if I go inside).

Nope. I'm not sure if I'm lactose intolerant or not, as after recently eating ice cream sandwiches, you would've thought I had eaten a pallet of Bush's Baked Beans instead (that's another item I haven't tried).
The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King. I like their onion

I recall several items over the years that they no longer have.
1) Yumbo - Hot Ham And Cheese Sandwich
2) Veal Parmigean (sp?). A veal patty, with mozarella cheese, and marinara sauce.
3) Hoagie - a cold ham and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
4) Hot Apple Pie.
They have a fish sandwich, but it used to be called "The Whaler".
I love their chicken nuggets (original flavor) and the original chicken sandwich.
The best part of the burgers is that they are flame broiled, and not swimming in grease, like at Wendy's, McDonald's, and other places. However, they can aggravate my acid reflux.
I worked for 2 different franchises in the central Arkansas area from 1978 to 1984.
I liked KFC when they had the boneless deals. I especially love their cole slaw.
The sausage & egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food breakfast items.
While I do enjoy those, they've also (finally, as it seemed to take a bit) adapted from the steak, egg, and cheese bagel and made a McMuffin version of it. It's wonderful. I've never really been a fan of bagels, so while that was a thing I was always like "man, they should make this on a muffin," which they eventually did!

I miss the old days of having a drawer full of to-go menus, calling the restaurant and knowing there wasn't a middleman involved. Heard too many horror stories of delivery companies gouging customers and screwing restaurants.
Peak breakfast fast food has to be the Carls Jr. Breakfast Burger. It's a burger with cheese, sausage, an egg and hash browns, somehow all barely contained in a bun. Then, to add to it, the combo includes MORE HASH BROWNS.
KFC used to do a skinless chicken, I believe it was baked.

McDonald's started offering all-day breakfast about 10 years ago. They stopped doing that after a short while, so apparently something about

Just because you said that, I just went and took a swig from my

Can confirm it goes perfectly with scrambled eggs and toast.
There's another sauce I've seen in some stores similar to A1 called
HP Sauce (which I think is fairly good).
You should try HP sauce, I bet you'd like it.

Also, Arby's has a couple of seasonal fish sandwiches that I
actually think are some of the best fish sandwiches in the
industry - One of them is the King's Hawaiian Deluxe fish
sandwich, which has a King's Hawaiian bun, tartar sauce,
lettuce, tomato, and cheese, and I think the fish fillet they
use is pretty good. I think their curly fries are pretty good
too.
As far as I've witnessed, hot dog packages only seem to tell

During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's, etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic clientele.

Ketchup has no place on a hotdog. All that is required is relish, mustard, and saurkraut. ;-)

There are no Waffle Houses on the West Coast, we have to get by with

heading out to the harbor that does a killer breakfast. Great

caught about 500 feet away, and a great eggs and carnitas breakfast
with tortillas and beans.

You've heard the other rumour, right? McDonalds started a
shell company literally named "100% beef" to supply their
own restaurants. They could then give the restaurants
whatever they liked to put in the patties without it being
false advertising. The contents are truly "100% beef"
brand! Any misunderstanding is the fault of the customer :D
They were similar to Denny's (and I'm disappointed to see they've closed a lot of locations too).
Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have them available. And I wish they had them available all the time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).

Lyon's restaurants in the SF bay area competed with Denny's. There was a Lyon's near my college campus, we'd go there around midnight, get the breakfast deal - 2 eggs, hash browns and toast for $1.99, and drink endless cups of coffee while we did our homework. We were polite and quiet, we tipped as well as we could being poor college students, and the restaurant was empty, so they didn't mind us taking up a table for an hour or two.

nuggets from KFC or McDonald's though.

Sautee onions on a skillet, make a burger patty next to them. Smash
the patty down, and when you flip it, put it on top of the onions.
You get all of the hamburger grease cooking with the onions.
Slice of american cheese on top a few moments before taking it off,

Not pepperoncinis, but pickled sport peppers. Then mustard, chopped

Yea, that'd be OK, but... we're now out of the 3-4 ingredients
category.
Would you be willing to sacrifice the black pepper for the hot sauce?

Only if it's not cracked in a pestle, that would be a nice touch.
...I've never seen or heard of anyone using their fireplace to cook food. :P
and it makes a house smell good as well, unless you're cooking something that has sauerkraut in it, lol.
Grilling the hot dogs to have a nice little char on the outside even adds to the greatness.
You don't hear "over-medium" very often, but that's the way I like my eggs, too. Not so much a thin runny yolk, but just a bit thicker and not yet solid is perfect, IMO.
I've never really liked sourdough bread that much.. But I think that would sound good with a slice of French bread/baguette.
On the plate: White rice, scrambled eggs (on the rice), black pepper on both, broiled Spam slices beside the rice. Four ingredients. Superb.
Oooh yeah. Even better is roasting them over a fire, then the whole
dog gets it and you get a nice crunch biting into it. Man, I miss
camping.

I never wanted to miss camping, so the wife and I got an RV. :)
My wife and I have talked about getting an RV, but the reality is
that we both snore. And now my dog (he's 11) has started snoring. An
RV might be a little too small.

I don't think a 33' class C RV is too small for anything really.
The wife and I, two teenage kids and a dog have plenty of sleeping
room. But, if you need to go bigger, you can always get a class
A (a giant bus for half a million dollars, basically). ;)

you can get a step van for pretty cheap. they are nice and square
and the roof is a good surface for solar panels. you can insulate
them and still have standing up room. Dont need a CDL and most
people wouldn't have a problem driving them. Windowmaker bridges
won't take them out because they aren't too high.
go on youtube they have some great videos.
I was thinking more of a westy - although I should make the limit
having an indoor shower and toilet...

You don't need a CDL for any kind of RV in Wisconsin, not even a 40+
foot class A bus. My RV is a class C, which is basically an E350
van front end with a small house on the back and over the top.
whatever floats your boat!
Speaking of boats, get a yacht and you can camp on the water or
docked by land. ;)

But yes, I have seen the converted-to-living-space vans, which are
called a "class B" RV.

not sure if you know this but by step van i mean like what fedex,
ups, etc uses. i think they can go up to around 22ft.
there's a lot of room to work with. https://i.imgur.com/IGBdpbF.png
I think winnebago brave started out with step van design.
I suppose you can turn just about anything into a camper if you add
a bed or a couch. ;)

yeah but what i'm getting at is these cheap step vans provide a good framework for making a camper and it's quite popular for people to do this.

Years ago, there was a restaurant chain called "Steak Out" in
central Arkansas. Their sirloin steak tips were absolutely delicious!!
My late wife and I would order them on a regular basis...went real
good with A1 Steak Sauce.
Waffle House for the win.
Never been to one, but their reputation for bad food is well known.
Interesting bit of lore, I've heard that you can judge the severety of thew
During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's,
etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic
clientele.

Lore has that this is why one McD's franchisee created the
Filet-O-Fish in the 50s and then the entire chain adopted it.
I believe Burger King has one year round. Arby's and Wendy's only have them during Lent.
A couple years ago, I noticed Popeye's has a fish sandwich
during Lent too.
I think sauerkraut is only really good with certain things. A
bratwurst or Polish dog is probably the only thing I like
sauerkraut with.
Never thought of tomato on a hot dog...but I do enjoy them.
I think that's a Chicago thing - pepperoncinis, chopped onion
and tomato slices.
Sautee onions on a skillet, make a burger patty next to them.
Smash the patty down, and when you flip it, put it on top of
the onions. You get all of the hamburger grease cooking with
the onions.
Slice of american cheese on top a few moments before taking it
off, and don't forget to grill the bun. Perfection.
White Castle burgers...are affectionately known as "gut grenades".
I've also heard them called gut or butt bombs. I love 'em.
Unfortunately, since the prices have shot up, I get them much;
six bacon-cheeseburgers for $13.xx? Fuggetaboutit!

yeah. They had those in Mississippi, too. I loved theier
steak salads. ---
There's a family in the Xenia, Ohio area...all licensed ham radio operators...mother, father, and daughter, and they all LOVE sauerkraut. They even attend a yearly sauerkraut festival up there. They can have my portion.

I noticed you use MultiMail. Why do you prefer it over logging in to
your BBS to read messages?
I've used multimail with other BBS mail but not my own.
Have you used readers on Linux? Anything besides MultiMail.
I know your using it on Win; but I use Linux for my BBS and daily stuff unless I'm on work computer which is MacOs.
Anybody else have comments/recommendations in using MultiMail?

From what I can tell so far the only thing I have found challenging to
do in Multimail is replying to a sender privately via NetMail.
From what I have experienced the only way I can do this is to copy down the sender information out of the message and go to the e-mail area and fire up a fresh message to them.
I do not seem to have the option to replying to a message from an echo itself privately.

I think that depends on the network and the BBS, but I've been able to send fido netmail via Multimail. DOVEnet uses QWK technology, I don't think that works with sending netmail through DOVEnet.

Or like General Burkhalter: "Klink, you could marry my sister".

They don't make them like that anymore.
