I find McDonalds chicken salad wrap is ok, as hubby loves to tuck into a big mac on occasion, it means we can enjoy together :) love their coffee too, strong and black, but not bitter...lovely

As a 'treat' I don't think a McDonald's breakfast is awful. I go for a sausage and egg McMuffin, the egg is just a normal egg, granted the sausage won't be anything like you get from the butcher, instead of a hash brown I go for the fruit bag then I have a black coffe as my drink.

Streaky bacon deep fried in beef dripping, lots of sat fat.
With a steaming hot mug of tea or a glass or two of a decent red.

I wouldn't increase it - I wouldn't deep fry my bacon... Not for any fear of fat, just because I don't really deep fry. I probably should, though...

If you really wanted to increase the fat, you could just add mayo or cheese - but why spoil bacon with any extras, eh? :wink:

Red wine is a winner with me, mate!

If im having any kind of takeaway I go for an Indian with no naan or rice, popadums seem to be ok. Or I'll have a kebab with no pitta.

I've just been down town and bought half a cooked chicken ( £1.50 ! ) and I am going to cut the breast into strips and then wrap them with streaky bacon,toothpick them, run through an egg wash, then deep fry and then coat in melted cheese !

Any other suggestions welcome.....

Patch what heat can you eat to ?

Madras is my limit, Superchip. I can eat hotter - but choose not to because of the repurcussions... If you know what I mean... :oops:
