Falling Down

A colleague of mine is a big fan of either going to the pub at lunchtime or KFC. Never McDonalds for some reason. Maybe it's shite. At the beginning of February one of his pals told him as they were heading out that he’d eaten a steak a couple of weeks previously and had felt a bit sick from it, so he was off meat for a while.

They went down to KFC and they got a table. Eventually this guy came to the table after nearly ten minutes, and one of them asked why he took so long. He said he'd asked for a Zinger Burger without any mayo and without the chicken. This clearly confounded the staff as the woman had no idea what to put through the order as, and it was this that took so long, and also what to actually give him.

When they asked him what he actually wanted inside his meat free Zinger Burger, he settled for a hash brown with some salsa sauce in it. It’s amazing how a simple thing can cause huge confusion. It’s like the scene from the film Falling Down when he asks for a breakfast item minutes after 10.30am.

Not that I ever eat at KFC, but I am pretty certain we don't have "Zinger Burgers" here. Trying to imagine what it would consist of if you omit the chicken and mayo.

I will venture a wild guess and say lettuce and tomato on a seeded bun? Sounds SCRUMPTIOUS. :/
