Temporary temptation

// April 28th, 2005 // Personal

I succumbed to my bi-annual demon today.

Having popped into town to do some truly glamorous shopping* and get a hair cut, I was in need of sustenance and ran into an age old enemy when it comes to luncheon … indecision.

Well I could pop into one of the million sandwich shops that litter St Helier but I couldn’t decide which one, I fancied trying out the new(ish) SubWay but couldn’t find it***, I’d dismissed the slightly more upmarket bars due to the waiting period and the simple fact that they look at you like you’ve been rolling in manure when you step in and ask for a table for one, I walked passed McDonalds…

Except I didn’t.

When I came too it was to hear a voice ordering a large Big Mac meal with diet coke and realised with horror that the voice was my own.

But that’s it. I have lapsed for the first time in over 6 months and can now live until at least November before I even have to worry about consuming such muck again. The sad thing is that even though I know how bad McD’s food is I can’t help but like it.

Yeah I know that it’s all salt and sugar and flavourings and that the meat comes from parts of a cow you never want to see let alone eat but their food has one redeeming quality – it’s horrifically consistent. The Big Mac I had today tasted exactly the same as the first one I ever ate.

And at least I can still claim some credibility. At least I wasn’t tempted to try one of the new “Healthy” options… I’ve seen what these guys can do to a burger and chips, god knows what happens when they’re unleashed on a c�ser salad.

*toothpaste, mouthwash, spray stuff to stop me stinking like a pigdograbbitelephant**
**Which I only do because our office is maintained at something like 30⁰C
***I swear shops get up and walk around in this town! It would be quite cool if they did it whilst I was in one…
