Not many take away joints here in rural France. We have recently acquired a McD in a nearby town and KFC in Limoges. Hate McD but like an occasional KFC. Apparently there are more McDs in France than anywhere else outside USA. French people are very fond of pizza it seems so there is usually a pizzeria to be found in most areas.

Pizza hut is our favourite. Pizza Express is too far from us.

Pizzaexpress - there are nearly always vouchers online to make prices more reasonable.

Giraffe are in quite a few places and were owned by Tesco. I think they have now sold them.

Pizza Express is our fast food of choice. I used to love KFC and an occasional Macdonalds but neither of them are GF sadly!

Definitely Burger King. If there were more of them about Wimpey would come a close second.

We went to an excellent place at Lakeside, called Giraffe. I have not seen one on this side of Offa's Dyke though.

I'd like to be able to say "none of the above", as, until recently I had not eaten any fast food for years, but GS and his friend have a once weekly after school treat to McDs and one week when DD and DP had to go somewhere, DH and I offered to take the boys, who dragged grandad off to order the food. He came back with their assortment and also a couple of cheeseburgers for us, which I was a bit sniffy about, but I was hungry so I ate it. It wasn't half bad - tasty, if a bit lacking in substance. The coffee was good too. I keep promising myself a KFC, as we used to eat it years ago, but I haven't let myself make the leap yet!

Fillet o fish is sometimes almost edible! Mine like McDs & also Pizza Express. I use Tesco vouchers at latter as I consider it grossly overpriced.

We very occasionally have KFC can't abide most of them the buns taste like cardboard.

Daddima I'd forgotten about World Buffet. I've been there a couple of times with GC . Don't know which is worse WB or Mackie D's!

I must admit to a deep fondness for a MacDonalds burger if I am on an away day somewhere. It's my grandchildren's fault!

Charleygirl Wed 18-Jan-17 14:14:29

I prefer Burger King.

I have only ever tried KFC, with the GCs, so that would be my choice.
I did once have a MacDonald's milk shake, but it was so cold that it gave me 'brain freeze' and I couldn't finish it. Probably a good thing because it contained as many calories as their burgers and chips!

Daddima Wed 18-Jan-17 14:11:16

I've come to KFC late in life, but we also have a chain in Glasgow area of World Buffets, where my grandchildren would always want to go.

Kittye Wed 18-Jan-17 14:09:44

My GC like Frankie & Bennys or KFC, neither of which would be my choice but it's their treat so I go along with it.
