I've just had a Burger King

I had been so looking forward to it.

It was everything I wanted it to be.

Grin glad you enjoyed it!

The local KFC opened up as a drive thru and there was a queue 70+ cars long!

I'm looking forward to one when things calm down a bit.

You can’t tell us that and not describe exactly what you had!

I had KFC the other day (local one re-opened for delivery) and it was brilliant. Limited menu (although that at least helped me decide what to eat!) so I had a variety thing, didn’t bother with chips as they were out of gravy.

I had a Whopper. It was lovely. I am not keen on Burger King chips, so didn't have a meal, just a burger. And because I was eating it at home I put a couple of slices of mature cheddar in there, because that makes it even more delicious.

I love the burger/mayo/onion/tomato/cheese combination - but it never tastes right when I try to make it at home. I don't quite understand why.

Jealous. We don't have a Burger King near us we'd have to go into the city and neither of the 2 BK's there are drive-thru's. There's a KFC and a McDonalds a bit closer but neither of them is worth queueing for!

CoronaIsComing · 08/05/2020 13:52

😭 we’re far north and I’m sure we’ll be the last to have anything open!

AbsentmindedWoman · 08/05/2020 13:53

God I’d love a burger!

PinkSpring · 08/05/2020 13:53

We tried to get a KFC the other day but the queue was around 1-2 hours, about 30+ cars waiting along the road and the drive thru was full. Will try again another time!

It's a shame as we live slightly too far out (by like 1-2 miles) for deliveries!

Thighmageddon · 08/05/2020 13:55

Describe the taste to me.

Every...last...detail.

I live in the north east. Do you know where the closest McDonald’s is to us that is opening for their limited reopen? Luton.

LemonScentedStickyBat · 08/05/2020 13:57

I love BK chips Sad - pretend you had some for me please!

ShowOfHands · 08/05/2020 14:23

I've never had a Burger King but it was our anniversary yesterday and our favourite Indian takeaway reopened. Ohhhhhh it was marvellous.

Rockbird · 08/05/2020 14:28

Merton BK is open. That's driveable!

Sparklingbrook · 08/05/2020 14:30

How long was the wait?

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 08/05/2020 14:30

Are they open 24 hrs drive through do we know?

janj2301 · 08/05/2020 14:36

They r opening THREE Macdonalds in Luton. Not near me either. I would kill for a cup of their coffee.

Oakmaiden · 08/05/2020 15:30

They delivered. So I didn't have to queue at all.

Ours is closed...

But as soon as they open I'm going to be like Harry Potter at the sweet trolley. Grin

LadyofTheManners · 08/05/2020 15:35

Our local chippy reopened the other day so DH went and bought some then we went for a quick drive.
They cook in fish oil so DS can't eat anything from there.
To say it was the best, illicit, cod, chips and can of cola I've ever had whilst sitting in the car round the corner would be an understatement
I even said to DH what will we do if the Police appear and he said he would offer him a chip then happily pay a fine.
The kids are still none the wiser 😂

chunkyrun · 08/05/2020 15:37

My local kfc opened up for drive through. Police had to close it down. The traffic was blocking roads ext. hoping to get in next weekend. Someone posted they waited 30mins and there was no gravy!

Oakmaiden · 08/05/2020 16:08

there was no gravy!

No gravy???!!!

I know I'd just go home empty handed

iklboo · 08/05/2020 16:37

I'd love a chicken royale with cheese and some chilli cheese bites.

Polkadotties · 08/05/2020 16:40

3 mc D’s opening near me in Chelmsford. Would much rather have a Burger King

Polkadotties · 08/05/2020 16:41

@iklboo that’s my exact order!

LaneBoy · 08/05/2020 16:41

I was quite gutted about the gravy. No point in chips without it! Garlic mayo for the chicken though :o

I’d had a favourite chicken delivery a few weeks earlier as I missed KFC but it was Not The Same.
