Harrods o'clockAt Lisbon airport there was a little bit of home feeling from the Harrods shop and cafe. The one thing though was that the sandwiches looked dire as they were in a glass case with no refrigeration and at 7pm they looked a bit droopy and sweaty!

At the cafe we had some pastel - the pics is mine, unlike the one from yesterday's post and after that I searched the whole airport for something proper to eat, I had had a few days of way too many sweets. The only thing I could find that wasn't a sweaty 12hour old salami sandwich was...a salad from McDonalds - gasp! Yes I had 6 Euro tuna salad from Mc.Dees with a nice olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing and it was good. I didnt even know they did salads? Not bad for a starving traveller about to board a plane by an airline (TAP Portugal) that serves bad food - my colleagues all warned me.

I am not sure what these contain but they are divine! It is like having McDonalds french fries in a can. They are probably really fattening but all the writing is in Japanese so will pretend the numbers 19g and 17g have something to do with the weight instead of having to do with fat content.

They were given to me by my Japanese sisters delivered by Momma Dolce last week. Arigato - is that how you say thank you?!

I know we over indulge at Christmas but some people are trying and going to the gym to burn off extra calories. Some are also taking a pit stop after the gym at McDonald's...not mentioning any names?! Am sure it was a one off and they enjoyed it while they were eating it but as long as it is done in moderation....the famous saying for everything.

This pic was taken in Leicester Square in Nov. 2005 when there was a protest outside of McDonald's. I love the way the guy inside is causually eating his grub. I didn't get all the info on the protest but am sure it was something to do with Micky D's being a multi-national congolomorate that exploits everything from farmers to workers. Anyhow to each his own, it is not on my list of places to eat. I prefer to have fresh, whole food that I know what the ingredients are or how to pronounce them. Am going to rent the video Fast Food Nation soon and may have an interesting post for that too.

Get ready for the new year and detox!
