    i like bacon, just not heaps of it, and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't need to be on everything

    Yes it does.

    I just value my arteries or else I’d have it multiple times a day.

    Damn you Bacon.

    @Kruse I definitely think something has changed at KFC, I used to work and I used to like eating it, I reckon in the last 20 years I have had it twice, didnt enjoy either.

    The P & G aint made like it was, the chips use a different salt, who knows if they have made changes to the cooking process, or the time it can stay in the warmers or anything, but it isnt as good.

    I walk a lot (100km/week) and always acknowledge someone who stops to let me cross at a pedestrian crossing.

    Funny mate, I also always acknowledge cars that stop, someone who crossed at sametme as me asked my why one day, I didn't know really, just politeness? Same as I generally will give way to driver coming onto street I driving down, once again, I figure if I can't lose 20 seconds or so to let someone in, best I actually leave a bit earlier so I don't need to hurry.
    I was wandering home from supermarket a few weeks back when a hearse and cars pulled out of a house down street, I stopped talk off my cap until they passed, once again why? Don't know just something I do .

    Right, let's have at it then... doubling down...
    Fairy bread is shit. Flavourless colourful shit on top of flavourless white shit. Pretty/sparkly nonsense for the stupid kids.
    Bacon is over-rated. It's decent, but it's over-rated. The Bruce Springsteen of processed meats.
    Watties tomato sauce is also flavourless... perhaps 'shit' is too harsh, it maybe has a use for re-hydration/lubrication when eating a dry-as-fuck overcooked 1980s sausage/chop/pie. It's the Butter-Chicken of condiments.
    There.
    Fucking have a go, if you think you're hard enough.

    I don't understand where the word shit comes into it

    Short version: Watties Tomato Sauce.
    Longer and less disengenuous:
    "Watties tomato sauce is also flavourless ..." the obvious next word is "shit"... but I back away from going that far... and explain why.
    You've seemed a step slower these last few months... everything okay?
    (But yeah... can see how that read ambiguously)

    @Kruse it's not me being slow ya village drunk.

    it maybe has a use for re-hydration/lubrication when eating a dry-as-fuck overcooked 1980s sausage/chop/pie. It's the Butter-Chicken of condiments.

    I don't understand where there was anything shit. But hey the moment is gone now.

    I’m upvoting this despite the criticism of Bacon. The rest of your post is spot on.

    While we’re on the subject the other half put tomato sauce ON HER STEAK last night. What the actual fuck woman ?!?!

    Fuck sake... I've got a lovely aged rib-eye from Mokau Butchery resting on the bench at the moment... and I just had a vision of somebody sticking tomato sauce on it.
    Sorry - I know you like her, but perhaps it's time for a dinner party at @Snowy 's.

    I wonder if the British Empire didn't eventuate as a result of people willing to risk it all in the chance there was better food.

    I blame hamburgers for the decline of the British Empire

    See I love burgers because it's all the stuff I'm supposed to eat, but packaged better.

    Shit... so, now it seems I'm about to make less friends...
    Fuck. Burgers.
    Fuck 'em.
    If it's not an anemic piece of shit burger... it's an overloaded stupidly hard-to-eat burger.

    It's all the ingredients I'd love to eat together - sure... but towered in a stupid messy fucking thing, with bread. How many bites do you get in before it becomes a fucking mess you're constantly putting back together? A 'good' burger - usually fucking zero. It starts the moment you pick it up. I nearly want to order the "lettuce-bun" version of burgers just because it makes so much more sense, except... I'm not "the South Park definition of a fag".
    Fluffybunnies of things.. a burger.
    EXCEPT... a week or two ago, I ordered a burger at Jimmy Coops in Taupo... coz you still have to try once in a while. And it came with a cardboard "burger-eating structure" - which I glanced at with disdain, then tried, and then fucking loved. Held a good-sized burger together, almost until the point of completion. I am actually fucking tempted to get some made for personal use... travelling around, pulling out my burger-holder. (Already have travel-chopsticks in the jacket... imagine the ladies swooning when I also have travel-burger-holder!)

    @Kruse is burger fuel still a thing? They used to have doofers freely available which is what they termed the item you're referring to. Just take a bunch home.
